AirRaidSiren Nit picking at the word 'luck' in football?
It(luck) can swing both ways, a prime example of having good fortune/luck and not having good fortune/unlucky:- Man City 1 - Reading 0, 2012.
Man City were lucky to have their goal allowed due to a blatant foul on Shorey, we were unlucky to not have a penalty when Tabb was fouled in their penalty box. We were unlucky to be on the end of a controversial decision that went against us, the 92nd controversial goal. Luck had a factor in the result.
Please, you cannot say luck had no play in this game? Luck or being unlucky does play a part in football, sport..
We did win the Championship with luck involved, as well as other factors (tactics, subs, team selection, determination etc etc), it is as clear as day.
no one said there was no luck in individual games. just that over a 40 odd game season, its not really a determining factor.
