Hey Alun,

I was wondering... what if a player scores an own goal? How can i set that up in leaguesite? I could create a score method called "own-goal" and assign it to the player who scored the own goal but that would count 1 goal for the wrong team i suppose. What are your thoughts about this

As you said, just set up a scoring type called own goal. Thats the best solution for this. I will have to see how I can select players for goals such as this. I'm still working on it, as I need to do assists too!

It won't work huh. Because the player will be on the wrong side when showing the goals i think?

In the current breakdown display, you can select players from either team to be the scorer of a 'goal'. If you wanted, you could create a scoring method called "goal (og)" - og standing for own goal and attribute it to the player who scored it, but give it to the team who benefitted. That would work for displaying it, but I agree it should be something that I can work on a bit.
I have added the latest support to help continue building the breakdown display. Have a look at it, and we can work from there on how own goals can be properly implemented.

I'll look at implementing something to solve this properly.
