  • You Go Ahead, Cause Its Making Me Laugh... by Fausto Sala - Vice President FISSC
    Year Number Jan - Mar 2 1 2012 You go ahead, cause its making me laugh... by Fausto Sala - Vice President FISSC “Olimpico” stadium in Rome, Sunday 5 February 2012. Around the 20 minute of the first half of Roma-Inter in South stand appeared a banner which read: “All at 15: the nature of things, by nature force”. As everybody knows the match was scheduled to be played on Saturday at 20.45, then anticipated at 15 and at last moved at the same time on Sunday, in contemporary with all other matches in serie A as the tradition was back in the past. Thus the roman fans wanted to underline this fact and their consent for the traditional shcedule of matches, remarking as only the snow emergency had forced the hands of those in command to revert to old habits of italian football fans. We can repeat until boredom that playing at night in the coldest days of the year is madness. Yet since January 18 up to February 5, between league and national cup, 21 matches at night have been programmed and out of these 19 in the north between Bergamo, Milan, Torino or Novara. But you think that who decides does not know such facts? But more the Lega is criticised, and more who guides the Lega continues to be bend to the will of the television networks who now have absolute power to decide the time in which games are playes, having tv rights now constitute the main income for the clubs. Thus the only concern of the Lega in these last seasons, whose president Maurizio Beretta has resigned since March of last year since he now passed to a top managerial post within UniCredit, was to see how to divide between the clubs the income coming from these rights with the consequent effect of half-empty stadiums to the benefit of sitting in cosy armchairs and sofas at home.

  • Mid-Season Report
    | AC Ajaccio Finishing the 2012/2013 season just two points clear of the Ligue 1’s infamous lanterne rouge, Ajaccio’s fortunes haven’t seen any drastic changes. The Corsican side has had a rough start to this season, and find themselves sitting rock bottom. Having chosen to replace head coach Fabrizio Ravanelli in an effort to change the tides, Ajaccio seem to be hanging off the edge of an abyss and finished the year with just one win to their name. With Mutu not living up to expectations in the latter part of 2013, Ajaccio’s winter transfer window will be crucial in determining whether they will still be in top-flight come next season. Top - Ronald Zubar In an otherwise dormant team, Ronald Zubar has been one of the few names whose efforts made a difference. Signing for free from Wolverhampton in January, the defender was tasked with bolstering Ajaccio’s backline. Despite Ajaccio’s false start to this Ligue 1 season, which included a terrible October, conceding 7 goals in 4 matches, his determination and courage on the pitch saw him named Ajaccio’s best player of that very month ahead of Ochoa. Zubar’s consistent performances could well make the difference between relegation and salvation. Flop - Adrian Mutu The Romanian’s arrival in Corsica more than a year ago was the promise of ambition and high expectations for Ajaccio. His first season was a modest success which saw him scoring 11 goals, probably saving Ajaccio from relegation in the process. This season, however, Mutu’s turbulent career took another twist.

    BEN-GURION UNIVERSITY OF THE NEGEV FACULTY OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING & MANAGEMENT Momentum in Football THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE M.Sc DEGREE By: Emri Dolev March, 2020 01.03.2020 _ 1/3/2020 i Abstract: Many studies have been conducted on momentum in sports, with contrasting results and their underlying explanations debated greatly. We define momentum to be a state where success in a previous event leads to an increased likelihood of success in the next corresponding event. The initial argument regarded the validity of calling momentum by its name, with the “Hot-Hand” fallacy (Gilovich, Vallone, & Tversky, 1985) stating that the momentum that is seen and perceived is nothing but a human heuristic which allows us to see patterns, even when those patterns are random. Curiously, unlike other sporting fields, this topic has hardly been studied in the world’s most popular sport – football. As part of this study we carried out an observational, time-series analysis of both team and player levels from the elite European football leagues. We discovered evidence for the existence of momentum carried over from match to match for football forwards as a result of providing goals in their previous appearance. On a team level, only a weak momentum effect was found – which could be better attributed to the teams’ qualities. We discuss the implications of these findings and propose future directions of research that should be conducted in order to further the research of momentum in football. Keywords: Momentum, Football, Sports, Hot Hand, Mixed Logistic Regression, Statistics ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my two academic advisors – Professor Yisrael Parmet and Professor Miki Bar-Eli for helping to guide me through the process of writing this thesis.
