Just taken the second set against Laura Robson at Wimbledon.
i see the daily express gave parker an 8 and pirlo a 7 in the players ratings
Why are you reading the Daily Express
the astronomy section is second none
No. That goes down as a âblocked shotâ in soccer stats. There is no distinction made between blocked shots on target and blocked shots heading off target.

If a player is on the line and clears the ball does that count as a shot on target?
I could have been clearer in my previous answer Clarkey. Unfortunately Iâm nerdish enough that I know the answer to this.
Shots are counted as âon targetâ if they are heading for the target and stopped by the goalkeeper or a man behind the goalkeeper. If they are stopped by someone other than the last man they are considered âblocked shots.â
You are a wonderful man Rocko.

That first sentence of the second paragraph should of course read:
âstopped by the goalkeeper or a man behind the goalkeeper as long as there are no further men behind him again.â
Apologies for any inconvenience.
You Contradict yourself there Rocko. When you state it must be the last man. The goalkeeper could stop the shot without being the last man and I presume this would be counted as a shot on ttarget.
Rocko is correct.
Oh right you are referring to the last sentence? That should say last man or goalkeeper yeah.
Yes Clarkey ed Zachary
Clarkey is right. Clarkey is always right.
I thought I made a mistake once, but I was wrong. ROFL.
Howâs the form anyway lar?
I see. Not very clear. I should also have used better punctuation but I was walking down the street while typing that.
Iâll clarify once again:
[font=tahoma][size=3]Shots are counted as âon targetâ if they are heading for the target and stopped by the goalkeeper, or a man behind the goalkeeper - as long as there are no further men behind him again. If they are stopped by someone other than the last man or the goalkeeper they are considered âblocked shots.â[/size][/font]

Well I thought I was recovered but a senior figure in work accused me of giving off a âpost holiday depressionâ vibe today. Iâm not very good at hiding my feelings and truth be told Iâm struggling a bit with the comedown.
