Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I trust you have all been enjoying the wonderful weather we’ve been having over the past few weeks. I suspect that in all probability it`s increased the amount of time we are spending in our gardens and the parks around us which can’t be a bad thing. I had the good fortune recently to visit one of my parishioners who is recovering from a spell in hospital. We spent a little time in his garden in the bright sunshine and soon became aware not only of the smell of lavender drifting off the bushes but also the number of bees faithfully working away collecting nectar and perhaps more importantly getting covered in pollen so they cross pollinate the other plants in the garden. Now unlike my predecessor Fr. Jim, I am not a bee keeper so it was fascinating to learn about the habits of the honey bees and to see the bee house which is home to the larvae of the leaf cutter bees, each little tube neatly stoppered with what seemed to be chewed up remnants of the leaves that give the bee its name. As I walked home my mind turned to thoughts on the amazing nature of a God who could create something as astounding as the bee in all its different varieties. Yet it`s us, humankind, who are blindly killing them off by our use of insecticides. Perhaps they are one more thing we won’t miss until we wake up one morning and find that one more species has disappeared from the list of those that once populated our beautiful planet. Bees and beekeepers have a special place in the life of the Church as well. They are mentioned as part of the Exsultet sung at Dawn on Easter morning when we give thanks for the ‘work of mother bee’ in producing the wax used to make the Paschal candle. Bees and beekeepers have their own patron Saints as well. For Bees it`s St. Ambrose who also doubles for beekeepers but if you are a beekeeper and don’t fancy St. Ambrose then you are spoiled for choice. You can choose from: St. Valentine, St. Dominic, St. Gobhnet (otherwise known as St. Deborah or St. Abigail), St. Bernard and even St. John and I’m sure many more that I’ve missed. So next time you are out in your garden wondering what to plant, why not plant some lavender or one of the many other bee friendly plants you can look up or read about on line and give thanks to God and the bee related Patron Saint of your choice for the work of Mother Bee. Yours in Christ. Rev. Nick Williams Vicar of the Benefice of East Malling, Wateringbury and Teston. Can you help please?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Onside: a Reconsideration of Soccer's Cultural Future in the United States
    1 ONSIDE: A RECONSIDERATION OF SOCCER’S CULTURAL FUTURE IN THE UNITED STATES Samuel R. Dockery TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 8, 2020 ___________________________________________ Matthew T. Bowers, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology Supervising Professor ___________________________________________ Elizabeth L. Keating, Ph.D. Department of Anthropology Second Reader 2 ABSTRACT Author: Samuel Reed Dockery Title: Onside: A Reconsideration of Soccer’s Cultural Future in the United States Supervising Professors: Matthew T. Bowers, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology Elizabeth L. Keating, Ph.D. Department of Anthropology Throughout the course of the 20th century, professional sports have evolved to become a predominant aspect of many societies’ popular cultures. Though sports and related physical activities had existed long before 1900, the advent of industrial economies, specifically growing middle classes and ever-improving methods of communication in countries worldwide, have allowed sports to be played and followed by more people than ever before. As a result, certain games have captured the hearts and minds of so many people in such a way that a culture of following the particular sport has begun to be emphasized over the act of actually doing or performing the sport. One needs to look no further than the hours of football talk shows scheduled weekly on ESPN or the myriad of analytical articles published online and in newspapers daily for evidence of how following and talking about sports has taken on cultural priority over actually playing the sport. Defined as “hegemonic sports cultures” by University of Michigan sociologists Andrei Markovits and Steven Hellerman, these sports are the ones who dominate “a country’s emotional attachments rather than merely representing its callisthenic activities.” Soccer is the world’s game.

  • 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.

  • History: the Global Sport and the Making of Globalization
    Giulianotto-3852-Ch-01:Giulianotto-3852-Ch-01.qxp.qxp 2/5/2009 1:00 PM Page 1 1 History: The Global Sport and the Making of Globalization Introduction The historical interpretation of the world in general, and of global football in particular, raises specific problems regarding method and perspective. The writing of ‘world history’ became particularly prominent in the late nine - teenth and early twentieth centuries, but inclined strongly towards a rather Western-centric perspective. From the 1970s onwards, as ‘global history’ developed as a counterpoint, greater attention was directed towards hitherto marginalized voices and non-Western societies (Robertson 1992: 29–30, 1997; Schafer 2006). Similar trends have arisen within football studies, wherein relatively national or Eurocentric histories have been displaced by studies that chronicle and indeed celebrate the historical diversity and socio- cultural complexity of the ‘global game’ (cf. Walvin 1994; Armstrong and Giulianotti 1997, 1998a, 2001, 2004; Goldblatt 2004, 2006; Lanfranchi et al. 2004). The distinction between world and global history has noteworthy par - allels in the way in which ‘globalization’ has been understood by particu - lar analysts. Paralleling the ‘world history’ model, some analysts tie globalization historically to the emergence and international diffusion of Western modernization – notably capitalism, industrialism and bureau - cratization – from the nineteenth century onwards (cf. Giddens 1990; Scholte 2005). We might call this the ‘world globalization model’.

  • Clark Revising FIFA's Laws of the Game I. a Short History Of
    Clark Revising FIFA’s Laws of the Game I. A Short History of Association Football and the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) A. The Development of Association Football The modern game of association football (hereinafter football), known as soccer in the United States, developed slowly over several decades of play throughout England in the 19th century, particularly in the universities. The early game differed significantly in its rules depending on the particular school or university at which it was being played, as each institution played by its own rules. 1 The differences had long existed in the game, dating back to the earliest games called football in the 14th century. The game of football always included a ball, but otherwise did not necessarily resemble the modern game, as even handling and carrying of the ball was often allowed. 2 As football became more popular in the 1850s schools and universities, the lack of uniformity in rules created major problems when students from different institutions attempted to play against each other, with matches regularly breaking out into open conflict. 3 Due to the disputes over rules and the requirement that teams agree to rules before each match to avoid these disputes, several teams cooperated to create a uniform code of rules for football. 4 From the 1830s through the 1850s, the game of football still differed widely depending on the school or university, at places the game included rules resembling football and at other places more closely resembling rugby. In that period, football players attempted several times to codify rules, but did so unsuccessfully.
