 Doncaster Rovers reserve games do not usually attract fans from across Europe - nor queues hours before kick-off. But when a member of One Direction is in the line-up things can be quite different. Fans of boy band star Louis Tomlinson are believed to have travelled from as far afield as Denmark, France, Italy and the US to see his debut match. Yorkshireman Tomlinson joined Rovers on a non-contract basis last summer but this was his first match.  The teenage girls in the crowd were treated to a goalless draw Thousands come to watch their heroes perform, to sing and cheer their team to victory. In fact, about 10,000 turned out for the Championship clash against South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley on 15 February. However, when the first team are not at home it is only the diehard few who make the journey to watch the reserves play, with an average crowd of about 100. Today's match against Rotherham United in aid of Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice was different, though, with the club saying more than 4,000 tickets had been sold. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-26356722

I'm glad he has recovered from the brutal tackle by Gabby to take the field again.

I kind of want to say wrong thread because it was for charity but fans of boy bands are stupid as hell.

quote:I wouldn't want Reina back personally but peak or no peak, his distribution is better than Mignolet's. That's not least because Mignolet hasn't had even a full season working as the sort of goalkeeper Reina's been for years and years in terms of on the ball work. Measure their passing by completion stats is only part of the story, there isn't really a stat that measures effectiveness or impact of goalkeeper possession yet - key passes aren't helpful as a goalkeeper's pass will rarely register (though for what it's worth, Reina would beat Mignolet on that measure by about 0.2!) I guess .2 is supposed to be 20%? This just read really oddly to me. Eric Cantonese fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Feb 27, 2014 |

quote:In a paper we published recently, using an entire season of ball tracking data we showed that home teams had significantly more possession in the forward third which correlated with more shots and goals while the shooting and passing proficiencies were the same. Using our automatic formation analysis, we extend this analysis, and show that teams tend to play the same formation at home as they do away, but the manner in which they execute it is significantly different. Specifically, we show that the formation of teams at home is significantly higher up the field compared to when they play away. This conservative approach at away games suggests that coaches aim to win their home games and draw their away games. Additionally, we also show that our method can visually summarize a game which gives an indication of dominance and tactics. While enabling new discoveries of team behavior which can enhance analysis, it is also worth mentioning that our automatic formation detection method is the first to be developed.

When I googled "The players are as much to blame for this season as passengers on a commercial flight", the first link was the Munich air disaster. Coincidence?

The Guardian has an article about American football fans. Here are some quotes:quote:I saw a goal Ryan Giggs had against Arsenal in the 1999 FA Cup, he says. He picks up the ball past half and dribbles 60 yards while beating four guys all on his own and ropes one, top shelf. Its an absolutely brilliant goal. My love for Man United began right then and there. quote:His level of dedication is both severely ironic and ironically severe. He says things like: Its a relationship, or even a marriage. Arsenal is my wife. quote:As a fan of Doctor Who and Torchwood, I asked if Cardiff had its own team. This was in 2011, so they were still in the Championship League. I said perfect, because then I felt like there was less pressure to become an expert on soccer overnight.

I posted a link to this guy in this thread in the past week, but I am just constantly amused by his "promotion/relegation in the US is a civil rights issue"/"you're either with us or you're the enemy"  stance: https://twitter.com/soccerreformIn response to Eva Longoria tweeting that she signed a petition that is trying to bring an MLS club to San Antonio, his immediate response is to do this: quote:Ted Westervelt @soccerreform Feb 27 And just to show you how committed his is to his trolling: quote:Ted Westervelt @soccerreform 43m
