Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

FOOTBALL
At the beginning of Bobby Williamson's reign as Uganda manager, the Scot asked his employers if they could record previous matches of upcoming opposition in order to study their tactics. He was told by the Ugandan FA that it would not be possible because they did not own any VHS video recorders or tapes, let alone DVD players. BBC Sport's Alistair Magowan speaks to Williamson about his hopes of leading the Cranes to the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time since 1978.

Yep, there are still very poor football associations in Africa. It's a bit of a shame really. Uganda has been decimated by corruption.Originally posted by Chazza1978 View PostAre we winning?Comment

And no doubt you'll soon be blaming it all on Labour and the unions.

Surely the football authorities need to do something about that.

Just watching SSN and one of the Oldham players (Lee Croft) has been accused of racism by a ball boy.
The footage clearly shows he says something and the way one of the Sheff Utd players reacted certainly made it look like it was more that just a bit of swearing.Comment

With regards to the Wonga/Muslim players story-
Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra told BBC news that making money from loans was regarded as forbidden by Islam, but it would be up to individual players and supporters to make a decision about whether to wear the shirt.
But thats always been the case so I don't see what the story is here. Someone is just making a story out of nothing. Alcohol advertising had been around for years, some supporters bought Liverpool tops without advertising on them for that reason.
For me its more about morals than religion. From a moral perspective it makes more sense to not want to wear the jersey because it advertises a loan company that charges 4000000% interest
As always the players themselves are obligated to wear what shirts their employers ask them too, but they knew all this before they moved to the UK so they will accept it as part of living/working hereComment

England players given matchday Twitter ban under new code
England players will be banned from making any match-related comments on Twitter for 24 hours before a game under the new code of conduct to be introduced by the Football Association.
Details are beginning to emerge of the code, which will come into effect in November following a number of recent indiscretions by players.
The code also places a greater importance on the role of captain.
And it includes rules concerning time spent playing video games.
The full details of the code of conduct are not being made public, but it says comments on Twitter about "the opposition, management or individuals could all result in disciplinary action".
Comments on match day or the day before can only be posted "with management approval", it stipulates.
The privilege of the captain's role is also emphasised. "[The captain carries] expectation and responsibility, both on and off the field," the code says.
Players have been told to "always acknowledge supporters" at the end of a game and have also been directed to walk through the post-match media mixed zone as a matter of course.
While the FA says introduction of the code is not a direct response to the actions of any specific players, Ashley Cole and Ryan Bertrand recently found themselves in trouble over comments they made on Twitter.
Cole, who insulted the FA later deleted the tweet and apologised to chairman David Bernstein.
Bertrand, who swore on Twitter after he was withdrawn from the squad, deleted his account and apologised.
The England team were presented with the code at St George's Park last Monday.
Adrian Bevington, Club England managing director, said players could be suspended from England duty if they breached the code.
Bernstein, Bevington, FA general secretary Alex Horne and the FA's director of football development Sir Trevor Brooking gave the senior England squad a 10-minute bullet-point presentation on what they expect in terms of behaviour.Comment
