Unlike high school, college or professional soccer, more than one assist may be awarded on a goal. This is to help recognize the contributions of defenders and outside midfielders, who frequently are involved in a goal by winning a first ball, advancing it up the field, etc. This skews our team statistics, but your humble webmaster believes that if Celtic strings together five passes before a goal is scored, all five of those boys should get an assist - not just the center midfielder who made the last pass. Anyone who disagrees is welcome to assume statistician and webmaster duties!
