20 (a score)

Haha!

WTAF!

Think it needs the opposite length before we can sin it.

Isn't life great when we have 3 points in the bag before HT.

[CombatClaret]

Taking the p1ss off course.
The cross just seems to be traveling parallel to the goal, then somehow Flemming sends perfectly 90 degrees on target.

c = b x cos(alpha)

[ISpeds00]

b+F=g

[CoolClaret]

Get me the angle, and I'll tell you the active power, apparent power & reactive power of our play in the final third...

[Bosscat]

Thats not a right angle triangle

[addisclaret]

It is, he's drawn the right angle sign in it so that means it is

[morpheus2]

Seven and twelvty degrees

[CrosspoolClarets]

5.0 degrees

Calculate the hypotenuse of this right-angle triangle.

Is hypotenuse another signing we just made from Belgium that’s on the train to Dundee?

[Hipper]

In yards (I'm old school!) I estimate a is 14 and b is 22 (using penalty area dimensions). That means the hypotenuse is 26 yards.

I'm sure Brownhill, being a top footballer, did this calculation in his head in order to decide if a shot at goal along the hypotenuse was the best option or whether a pass to Flemming (along b) would be more likely to yield a goal. I'm sure all footballers are taught Pythagoras's Theorem. Clearly Burnley's maths coach (perhaps he replaced the ineffective dead ball coach) deserves a lot of credit and I'm surprised that the Sky cameras didn't linger on his mush after the goal.

I like this thread.

[LincsWoldsClaret]

Reminds me of a constipated maths teacher who always used to work it out with logs

[RickyBobby]

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

roughly 15^2 + 25^2 = c^2

So around 29 yards.

[claretblue]

it’s not a sin to tan Argyle
…cos it’s Burnley!

[morpheus2]

I was actually thinking watching the replays "that's a perfect right angle".

[CharlieinNewMexico]

A squared = b squared - c squared

[Claretitus]

A squared = b squared - c squared

Correct CiNM. No board rubber flying towards your head, from Mel Saunders!!
