Gabby with the perfect hat-trick.

Technically the hat-trick was missing the right footer :)

Rewatch our seventh. ;-)

His fourth?

His fourth?

The very same.

Several in the prematch thread did specifically point out that Burton’s odd to win were not far off those many books were giving for us to win 9-0...

Hindsight and all that.

I had De-Bruyne 1st goal and 6 nil. I’d accepted at half time it was gonna be more than 6

 

[aguero93:20]

The very same.

So technically not part of his hat-trick then?

I count any of a striker’s goals as part of a ‘hat trick’, as long as as there are at least three in a single game. It is a general set, so order for recognition is arbitrary! ;-)

Superb performance but how was it not a penalty on Jesus?
VAR shows he’s fouled in the box no doubt about it but not given . Doesn’t make a great deal of difference but I just don’t get this VAR

A hat-trick is the players first 3 consecutive goals in a game. 4 = haul. Just googled it.
If it's uninterrupted by any other player scoring it's a natural hat-trick.

Looks like the second leg of this will clash with the EFL Trophy again, so doubtless we'll get yet more stick for only using 4 or 5 kids.

Maybe we should swap the teams around. Really give the fuckers something to moan about.

Back home from the game. What was the attendance today?

That’s one definition, often referred to as a ‘natural hat trick’, though, as you said.

The more general definition is ‘three successes of the same kind, especially consecutive ones within a limited period’; note ‘especially’, rather than ‘only’.

I’ve never liked the consecutive goals definition that some use, because from a statistical point of view it is arbitrary.

Nobody ever will until it all miked up so the fans in the stadium can hear what is discussed, until that day its all a sham, where any decision can be given depending on who is playing.

Plus it fucks up your original post ;-)

32k.

So what’s that for the three combined. In less than a week, just short of 150k have watched the best team in the world win 18 - 1.
Pep out.

And my lifelong crusade to get everyone on board with my definition. ;-)

I knew what you meant, anyway.

Can you say that to my missus?

I’m still trying to convince her that others do on occasion.
