Following on from our discussion yesterday about adopting one or two of the techniques the enormously successful GB Olympic cycling team there are other areas where a technical advantage can be sought.
Football is awash with metrics these days. Clubs know things about their players they never even wondered about 10 years ago, leading to more informed decisions. It is probably no exaggeration to suggest that a club like Celtic will have some information on thousands of players. At the top level, much of this information will be fresh in the minds of coaches and scouts, and will easily be recorded on a database, but scouting permeates through youth football. Acquiring and assimilating information on the many hundreds of players on view each month is an information challenge.
The US sports were early to get on top of this problem. SportsBoard is a iPad-based data capture and management app which enables coaches and scouts to record information on players (their own players and others) as they watch the game. Data is uploaded from the iPad to a cloud-based database. Information and comment on each player or opposing team can then easily be analysed.
The alternative would be to scour through unstructured notes without any way of controlling the up-flow of information.
The app has also been used to provide instant metrics to first team squads. Players can get home from training, login and see how their performance was rated that day, allowing them to adjust their own target for the next session. I spoke to the designer, Gregg Jacobs, who has received a ton of media coverage in the US over the last two years. He told me this was about providing “more meaningful feedback”. Take a look at the Assessment and Contact Management features, which has screenshots of the ‘soccer’ app.
So this week we’ve covered orthopaedic pillows on tour and leg heaters from the GB cycling team, as well as a scouting management and instant metrics system from US sports, all low-cost and designed to reduce risk and improve performance.
Should we do it?

See Vidukooper has knocked back the final celtic offer of a contract extension because he wants to play in England. Good luck thanks and get lost. Wanyama can go take a hike as well if he doesn’t want to be here. We need players who want to be here, it’s as simple as that.
Jobo – have you got St Lucia sorted yet ?

Dont know if this is a problem ?
I donated via text earlier to BELF88 and got a reply from 70110 thanking me for my donation to the Neuroblastoma alliance.
But they still have not taken the money of my pay as you go phone , which is unusual as donations usually come of immediately.

Paul67 et al
Great to hear the old vuvuzela back on the scene, for me the highlight of the 2010 World Cup. I was probably one of the few on here who actually supported Peter Lawwell’s attempt to introduce it to Celtic Park a couple of seasons ago. Things could have only been so great had Peter’s vision been implemented, instead of being shot down by those determined to live in the past. A blast in a Green Brigade steward’s ear, or a Sammy hater, or even just annoy your neighbour’s dug, a lot of fun to be had, had it not been for the Calvinists amongst us.

Interesting article written in 2003 in the Manchester Evening News. Long before the UEFA Cup Final. Why Rangers hate the Reds?

Victor is too good for the EPL, he can play with better Players, emulating Henke…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Celtic would take the EPL by storm ….
