The match will be the 91st time the Shield has been contested. The only match ever to go to a replay was the very first - in 1908. No club has a Shield pedigree like Manchester United. They were its first winners and have now clocked up a record 15 successes. They have shared the Shield an additional four times and have featured in a total of 28 contests. Wigan Athletic, by contrast, were a non-League club until 1978 and are playing the first Shield match in their 81-year history. The FA Charity Shield, its name until 2002, evolved from the Sheriff of London Shield - an annual fixture between the leading professional and amateur clubs of the time.

In this paper, we present one such study, by looking at specific examples where the rules of sports have led to unforeseen and/or unwanted conse- quences. It is hoped that through this, and other such studies, sports au- thorities will be far better equipped to make more informed decisions about changing the rules for a given sport/tournament. We believe that this is the first time that such a comprehensive review of sporting rules, which have led to unexpected consequences, has been pub- lished in the scientific literature.

He considered 21 sports, carrying out a post-hoc analysis of rule changes, finding, for ex- ample, that changes in the rules of volleyball did lead (as desired) to more predictable match lengths but also led to more defensive play, which was un- foreseen.

    Introduction FC Barcelona celebrate victory at the Stade de France. The 2006 UEFA Champions League victors have no problems with the rulings on ‘locally-trained’ players introduced for the 2006/07 season. PHOTO: FOTO-NET Season 2006 – 2007 Contents Season President’s Message 3 2006 / 2007 1st Qualifying Round Results 4 2nd Qualifying Round Results 6 3rd Qualifying Round Results 8 Group Stage 10 Regulations 14 2 President’s Message The fifteenth season of UEFA Champions League football is a special one. A year ago, we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first-ever final in the old ‘European Cup’ and using that as a good excuse for some nostalgic reading of the history books. This season, the emphasis is well and truly on the future - the future of the game and the future of the people who play it. I’m referring to the new chapter in the regulations of this competition, where four places in each squad are earmarked for ‘locally-trained players’. You might not think that this is a major change. But, as time goes by, more places will be reserved for them and the 2006/07 campaign marks the first step in what I think is a very right direction. It was a subject we had discussed in great depth within our Executive Committee, within all sectors of the game and with people in political circles. And it is a decision which has my wholehearted support. Fortunately, I am by no means the only one who believes that talent needs to be developed and not just bought.

  • 50 Minute-By-Minute Football Commentary
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Asia University Academic Repositories Minute-by-Minute Football Commentary: A Corpus-based Discourse Analysis of Tense and Community within Online MBM Tim Vandenhoek, Asia University Abstract One of the ways in which it has evolved is the expansion of minute-by-minute commentary of live sports events, particularly association football. This article seeks to explore the genre and examine it from three perspectives, namely to what degree it fits Swales’ (1990) discourse community framework, what are its predominant patterns of tense, time and aspect, and how does interaction take place within it. The article concludes with ways in which minute-by-minute commentary can be used by students and suggestions for further research into the area. Introduction Sports coverage is just one example of how the growth in popularity and accessibility of the Internet has changed modern journalism and communication. Amongst a myriad of web-based resources such as the online presence of traditional media outlets such as television stations and newspapers, club web pages, Facebook groups, Twitter accounts and fan forums, Internet minute-by-minute (MBM) commentary of professional sports has also evolved. MBM coverage of association football (hereinafter “football”, also called soccer), is very common. Football is a multi-billion dollar industry widely believed to be the most popular sport in the world. For instance, 3.2 billion people, accounting for 46% of the world’s population, saw at least some of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the latest for which figures are available (FIFA, 2010, p.

  • Elite Association Football Referee Training and Officiating: a Comparative Analysis of Refereeing Practices in Three European Leagues
    Elite Association Football Referee Training and Officiating: A Comparative Analysis of Refereeing Practices in Three European Leagues Thomas Webb ‘The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth.’ November 2014 Abstract Association Football referees have been an under researched subject within the social sciences. Association Football more generally, has been researched more extensively, whereas ‘the referee’ has been the subject of research in the natural sciences, most notably in physiology and psychology. As a result of this lack of attention from social scientists little is known about elite referees, their historical evolution, development pathways and structures, training, match preparation and performance. This PhD thesis offers a comparative analysis of elite refereeing in three countries namely England, Spain and Italy. The thesis provides a comparative analysis of elite refereeing in the domestic leagues identified, as well as UEFA and FIFA and offers a detailed series of recommendations, designed to inform, develop and improve elite refereeing in European and world football. Initially the thesis utilises an historical approach in order to outline and analyse the inception and early development of refereeing prior to the codification of Association Football in 1863, paying particular attention to referee training, assessment and support until the modern day. Empirical research is also employed in the form of semi-structured interviews with elite referees and those involved with the management, administration and training of these referees. The cultural differences that exist between the leagues, players, fans and media that operate within those leagues are considered as is the impact of UEFA and FIFA and the focus on standardisation and uniformity across domestic countries, principally driven by UEFA and FIFA.

  • Monthly Report – October 2008
    RIGHT RESULT – MONTHLY REPORT – OCTOBER 2008 - How the Premier League table should look - Welcome to the monthly report for October from all the team at the Right Result. Our mission is simple, to show you how the Premier League would look if the match officials got all their key decisions right. Our table is based on results that don't include dodgy off-sides, iffy penalties or blatant incidents of the ball crossing the line. Each week the Right Result panel analyses the latest doubtful goal incidents, applies the strict rules of the game to them and passes an impartial judgement on whether or not questionable decisions should stand. The panel is a neutral and independent body, comprised of members from the Association of Football Statisticians ( www.11v11.com ). Although it still early days in the 2008-09 campaign, already 16 of the 20 teams find themselves in different positions when comparing the Premier League table to the Right Result table. There does remain one certainty though in the midst of football’s madness. That is the ability of the men in the middle to make decisions that both frustrate and anger all sides! Enjoy www.rightresult.net Please find below the Right Result League Table up to and including 30 September 2008. www.rightresult.net HIGHLIGHTS Contained within the monthly report is a feast of stats and analysis of the games officials and how their decisions have a direct impact upon both teams and players. Here are just some of the highlights: • The top three match the Premier League but with Chelsea dropping down below Liverpool and Aston Villa.
