Match background • Georgia's record in five games against Ireland is W0 D0 L5 (W0 D0 L1 at home – W0 D0 L3 in Dublin). Those overall fixtures include a FIFA World Cup qualifier played on neutral territory in Mainz, Germany, due to the political situation in Georgia at the time. • The sides first met in UEFA EURO 2004 qualifying. On 29 March 2003, in Tbilisi, Brian Kerr's Ireland beat Alexandre Chevadze's Georgia 2-1, Damien Duff (18) and Gary Doherty (85) scoring either side of Levan Kobiashvili's 61st- minute equaliser. By the time of the return leg, on 11 June the same year, Ivan Šušak had replaced Chevadze as Georgia coach but Ireland won again, Doherty (43) and Robbie Keane (59) the scorers in a 2-0 home victory. • The nations' last competitive meetings were in 2010 World Cup qualifying. In Mainz on 6 September 2008, Kevin Doyle (13) and Glenn Whelan (70) helped earn Giovanni Trapattoni's Ireland a 2-1 win, with Levan Kobiashvili (90+2) scoring a consolation for Héctor Cúper's Georgia. Ireland won the return fixture at Dublin's Croke Park on 11 February 2009 by the same scoreline, despite Sandro Iashvili's first-minute opener; Robbie Keane (73p 78) struck twice to turn the match around. • The sides' last meeting was a friendly in Dublin on 2 June 2013. Trapattoni's side beat Temur Ketsbaia's Georgia 4-0 with goals from Richard Keogh (42), Simon Cox (48) and Robbie Keane (77 88) following the 20th-minute dismissal of Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Loria. Substitute Keane was making a record-matching 125th appearance for Ireland. • Ireland have not won in the nations' eight meetings in UEFA age-group competitions, with the record W0 D6 L2. • In the only UEFA club competition meetings between sides from these nations, FC Dinamo Tbilisi beat Waterford United FC 1-0 away and 4-0 at home in the second round en route to winning the 1980/81 European Cup Winners' Cup. 3 Georgia - Republic of Ireland Sunday 7 September 2014 - 18.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Boris Paichadze National Stadium, Tbilisi Squad list Georgia Current season Overall Qual.

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity.

  • Evaluatie Arbitrage 2.0 Mei 2014
    Evaluatie Arbitrage 2.0 ‘De KNVB streeft naar een eerlijk en sportief verloop van alle wedstrijden en een continue verbetering van de arbitrage’ Inleiding Onder dit motto is de KNVB het project Arbitrage 2.0 gestart. Sinds de eerste brainstormsessie van de toenmalige werkgroep elektronische hulpmiddelen op 6 april 2011 is er toegewerkt naar besluitvorming in juni 2013 tijdens de Algemene Vergadering Betaald Voetbal, waar het ontwikkelde position paper technologische hulpmiddelen als basis heeft gediend voor een verdere uitwerking van het project. Achtergrond • Scheidsrechters nemen, geassisteerd door twee assistent-scheidsrechters en een 4e official – op eigen waarneming – beslissingen die van invloed (kunnen) zijn op het verloop van wedstrijden. • De huidige registratie van de wedstrijden in de Eredivisie en de alsmaar toenemende belangen zorgen ervoor dat beslissingen onder een vergrootglas liggen. • Door de registratie van de wedstrijden en de huidige technische ontwikkelingen ‘accepteert’ de voetballiefhebber niet meer klakkeloos dat scheidsrechters zonder deze mogelijkheden hun werk moeten doen. • De internationale spelregelcommissie van FIFA (IFAB) heeft in juli 2012 besloten dat de invoering van technologische hulpmiddelen (doellijnbewaking) is toegestaan. Ook mag elke bond zelfstandig besluiten tot de inzet van 5e/6e officials. • FIFA omarmt het besluit inzake doellijnbewaking en heeft een pilot uitgevoerd bij het WK voor clubteams in november 2012 en bij de Confederations Cup in 2013. Ook op het WK 2014 zal met doellijnbewaking worden gewerkt. • UEFA is echter geen voorstander van technologische hulpmiddelen en predikt de 5e/6e official. Al sinds 2009 werkt de Europese bond in alle CL- en EL- wedstrijden met twee paar extra ogen. De KNVB is sinds geruime tijd expliciet voorstander van de invoering van technologische hulpmiddelen in het profvoetbal.

The Road to Fame Or Failure? . 206 Chapter 1 The Demise S a teenager, Thomas Morgan, from inner-city Dublin, had Sir Alex Ferguson in his living room, A trying to persuade the 15-year-old midfielder to abandon his plans to join Blackburn Rovers. They were emerging as title rivals to Ferguson’s Manchester United and he was keen for Morgan to move to Old Trafford. Morgan chose Blackburn, signing for the Ewood Park side in 1994. A year later, Blackburn won their one and only Premier League title. But despite training with the league-winning squad, and making the bench for league and European matches, Morgan found himself released – and without a club – almost three years later. It was only weeks before captaining the Ireland Under-20s to a third-place finish in the 1997 World Championships in Malaysia. Put simply, Morgan fell by the wayside as Blackburn – and their Premier League rivals – regularly shunned the promotion of youth in favour of big-money signings. The 19 WHERE HAVE ALL THE IRISH GONE? birth of the Premier League in 1992 ushered in an era of stellar signings, compounded by the Bosman ruling in 1995, which removed obstacles to foreign players playing in England – a double whammy which would change the fortunes of Irish players for ever.

    FACULTY OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMICS Working Paper Series Working Paper No. 2018-10 THE SUPERSTAR CODE - DECIPHERING KEY CHARACTERISTICS AND THEIR VALUE Franziska Prockl May 2018 THE SUPERSTAR CODE - DECIPHERING KEY CHARACTERISTICS AND THEIR VALUE. Franziska Prockl Paderborn University, Management Department, Chair of Organizational, Media and Sports Economics, Warburger Str. 100, D-33098 Paderborn. May 2018 Working Paper ABSTRACT The purpose of the presented research is to advance the superstar literature on the aspect of superstar’s characteristics and value. Typically, superstar research is faced with one problem: They apply the same criteria to determine who their superstars are as to describe them later because they lack “an objective measure of star quality” (Krueger, 2005, p.18). To avoid this complication, the author chose to study Major League Soccer’s (MLS) designated players as this setting present a unique, as discrete, assignment of star status. MLS has formally introduced stars in 2007 under the designated player (DP) rule which delivers over 100 star-observations in the last ten years to investigate MLS strategy of star employment. The insights from this data set demonstrate which characteristics are relevant, whether MLS stars can be categorized as Rosen or Adler stars, and what the MLS pays for and in this sense values most. A cluster analysis discovers a sub group of ten stars that stand out from the others, in this sense superstars. A two-stage regression model confirms the value stemming from popularity, leadership qualities, previous playing level, age and national team experience but refutes other typical performance indicators like games played and goals scored or position.
