  • From Custom to Code. a Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football
    From Custom to Code From Custom to Code A Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football Dominik Döllinger Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Humanistiska teatern, Engelska parken, Uppsala, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 at 13:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Associate Professor Patrick McGovern (London School of Economics). Abstract Döllinger, D. 2021. From Custom to Code. A Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football. 167 pp. Uppsala: Department of Sociology, Uppsala University. ISBN 978-91-506-2879-1. The present study is a sociological interpretation of the emergence of modern football between 1733 and 1864. It focuses on the decades leading up to the foundation of the Football Association in 1863 and observes how folk football gradually develops into a new form which expresses itself in written codes, clubs and associations. In order to uncover this transformation, I have collected and analyzed local and national newspaper reports about football playing which had been published between 1733 and 1864. I find that folk football customs, despite their great local variety, deserve a more thorough sociological interpretation, as they were highly emotional acts of collective self-affirmation and protest. At the same time, the data shows that folk and early association football were indeed distinct insofar as the latter explicitly opposed the evocation of passions, antagonistic tensions and collective effervescence which had been at the heart of the folk version. Keywords: historical sociology, football, custom, culture, community Dominik Döllinger, Department of Sociology, Box 624, Uppsala University, SE-75126 Uppsala, Sweden.

Since then, while the rules of the sport have gradually evolved to the point where VAR is now used, for example , football has more or less retained the same overall constitution and objectives. Racism has been a stain on the soul of soccer for generations but a series of high-profile incidents in recent years has prompted calls for tougher action from football's governing bodies. Even at amateur junior level, I saw the way presidents of clubs manipulated funds to get their senior mens teams promoted, buying players, dirty deals to pay a top striker etc. A number of different rule codes existed, such as the Cambridge rules and the Sheffield rules, meaning that there was often disagreement and confusion among players. Showing To ask other readers questions about The Beautiful Game? Mark rated it it was amazing Apr 21, Follow us on Twitter. It makes you wonder if the Football Association are fit to be the governing body of the sport. Watch here UEFA president Michel Platini explains why any player or official guilty of racism will face a minimum match ban. Add your interests. Leading international soccer player Mario Balotelli has had enough -- the AC Milan striker has vowed to walk off the pitch next time he is racially abused at a football game.

  • The History of Offside by Julian Carosi
    The History of Offside by Julian Carosi www.corshamref.org.uk The History of Offside by Julian Carosi: Updated 23 November 2010 The word off-side derives from the military term "off the strength of his side". When a soldier is "off the strength", he is no longer entitled to any pay, rations or privileges. He cannot again receive these unless, and until he is placed back "on the strength of his unit" by someone other than himself. In football, if a player is off-side, he is said to be "out of play" and thereby not entitled to play the ball, nor prevent the opponent from playing the ball, nor interfere with play. He has no privileges and cannot place himself "on-side". He can only regain his privileges by the action of another player, or if the ball goes out of play. The origins of the off-side law began in the various late 18th and early 19th century "football" type games played in English public schools, and descended from the same sporting roots found in the game of Rugby. A player was "off his side" if he was standing in front of the ball (between the ball and the opponents' goal). In these early days, players were not allowed to make a forward pass. They had to play "behind" the ball, and made progress towards the oppositions' goal by dribbling with the ball or advancing in a scrum-like formation. It did not take long to realise, that to allow the game to flow freely, it was essential to permit the forward pass, thus raising the need for a properly structured off-side law.

  • Reading Worksheet: the First Football Rules
    The First Football Rules: Reading Worksheet Modern football began in English public (private) schools in the early 1800s. At Eaton and Harrow ‘houses’ or teams competed against each other. From the 1840s house teams begam wearing different coloured shirts. Many of the football-playing schoolboys went on to the two English universities: Oxford and Cambridge. The problem was that students from the different schools played with different rules and regulations. Cambridge Rules In 1848 Cambridge University introduced a common set of rules. After every goal the teams changed ends. You could catch the ball if it came directly from another player's foot. You could not touch the ball coming from the direction of your own goal until an opponent touched it. The Cambridge Rules included two key concepts. The first was the idea of the ‘foul’ and ‘foul play’. The other was that the ball was only ‘in play’ inside a defined area called the pitch. Sheffield Rules In 1857 Sheffield FC started. It is the oldest surviving football club in the world. Sheffield played with the Cambridge rules but made changes: Pushing with the hands was permitted. Kicking, tripping and running with the ball in the hands was not allowed. There was no limit on the number of players, or the size and shape of ball. There were no referees. The two team captains settled any dispute. Each player wore a cap. One team wore red caps and the other wore blue. Quick Check: True or False? 1. Organised team football was first played at the universities. 2.

  • Early Ball Games
    1 Early Ball Games all games have a very long history. Young men and women B have been getting together to play them for thousands of years. The earliest games were played in Mexico, South America, at least three thousand years ago. Later games, which had their own rules, were part of the culture of the ancient1 Olmec and Aztec peoples. We do not know a lot about these ball games because it is very difficult to understand the written accounts of them. But they were all very similar and in some ways they were like the modern game of football. The games were played on a special piece of ground – the ‘pitch’. The spectators – the men, women and children who watched the game – stood on the terraces and they often bet their gold, slaves2 and houses on the result of the game. Small figures3 of the players could be bought by their ‘fans’. In these early ball games, there were two teams of seven players. The players were men who had been captured in wars and kept as prisoners. They played with a ball made of black rubber that probably weighed about five or six kilos. The ball had to be kept in the air – it was not allowed to touch the ground. But the players did not kick the ball. They used their hips, their knees and their arms to keep it in the air and they wore pads4 to protect themselves. The players tried to score a ‘goal’ by getting the ball through one of the two stone rings above the terraces.
