Earlydoorsjones Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 Quantum theory is seriously strange, and bizarrely, applies to football in all kind of ways. For example, Heisenberg's 'Uncertainty principle' can explain, quite perfectly, why a manager (or fan for that matter) becomes so obsessed with one facet of a players game that he completely ignores obvious weaknesses in other parts of his game....... Einstein loved his football too, the theory of General Relativity was specifically written to explain why a tackle, seen be a fan to be a clear foul is, when seen by the same fan on the other side of the ground, a clean tackle because the ball is clearly and correctly played first..... Nothing revolves around anything, or anyone for that matter, Either you believe Newton, in which case Col and Spherical are revolving around the center of mass of their two substantial intellects, or you believe Einstein, so that both Col and Spherical are proceeding in totally independent straight lines through curved space. Bitchiness is a well known side effect of Quantum Mechanics acting at a macro level, the tensions caused by the conflicting quantum probability functions make this inevitable. Another side effect, of much lower propability, is an unusual and quite unexplainable interest in expensive ladies handbags......
Earlydoorsjones Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 I liked it when we talked about football and stuff.
marbelladave Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 I liked it when we talked about football and stuff. So did I........ Sadly it has become 'the Maynard Show' on here recently and the shear weight of unsubstantiated rumour and speculation is enough to collapse a small star. However it may please you to know, my calculations show that in fully 7% of the available quantum probabilities (parallel universes, if you prefer) Nicky Maynard signed for us several weeks ago and scored twice for us in an easy win over his old club.....

So there must be a parallel universe where marbelladave thinks Wellens is great!
marbelladave Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 So there must be a parallel universe where marbelladave thinks Wellens is great! Undoubtably, Quantum theory guarantees that, it's just a matter of probabilities....... In fact there are probably a fair few quantum realities where Galagher is good in the air and loves taking on a big opposition center half in a pysical battle. Wouldn't hold my breath trying to find it though........
Wherethefoxhat? Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 If you read the full post you will see that the formation I suggest can be just as attacking as on saturday, more so as the Fernandez / King pairing will offer more in attack than King on his own and more in defence than Wellens will ever manage. I suggested Wellens on the right, where Fernandez played on saturday, because I did not want to change the personel which I thought might blur the argument. As I am sure you know I would not have Wellens anywhere near my starting XI. "There are some fantastic players within our side and once everything slots into place, there is no doubt the team can reach its full potential. Richie Wellens is always a class act, but for me the player that has impressed me the most has been Gelson Fernandes. He caught my eye in the game against Coventry and looked brilliant against Nottingham Forest. "The same again this weekend from every player on the park – and we’ll be celebrating a win against Southampton." For more see... http://www.soarmagaz...show-our-steel/
Fox92 Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 I'd take £3 million, especially if we got a striker in.

A day has passed and you haven't endeared us with yet more tales of quantum physics and their rship to football Can you enlighten me on Einsteins theory of relativity at this juncture? And how it relates to the modern day game of course....

marbelladave Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Dave... I'm a bit worried mate... A day has passed and you haven't endeared us with yet more tales of quantum physics and their rship to football Can you enlighten me on Einsteins theory of relativity at this juncture? And how it relates to the modern day game of course.... Which theory are you talking about? Special Relativity relates to the way matter and energy behave under extreme conditions, at the center of a star or at extreme velocities. Largely irrelevant in in the modern game, specially since the introduction of lighter footballs. General Relativity on the other hand is hugely important in football, before i continue, you should re-read the third paragraph of post 100.... General relativity is dead simple, put bluntly, and without the math, It says that any observation and measurement (opinions as we call them in football) is only accurate and meaningfull from the position of the observer. Post 100, mentioned above, explains how a different physical position, being on the otherside of the ground for example, can completely change your view on an event. Foul tackle from one viewpoint, fair tackle (because the ball is seen from the other viewpoint to be taken cleanly) from another. OK so far? Interestingly General Relativity also applies to the physchological 'position' of the observer, sounds clever but again is pretty simple. Put simply it means that the observer will adjust the quantum probabilities of what he observes to be happening, in line with the median propability of what he expects to happen. An example - Your team is on the attack, a midfield player slides a pass into the box towards your center forward but a defender steps out, makes an interception and clears the ball. One observer, who does not much like the midfielder in question, sees the pass as over ambitious (Hollywood pass) and simply giving the ball back to the opposition. Another, more kindly disposed towards the player, sees it as a positive attempt to create something that only failed to bring a scoring opportunity due to a lucky interception by the defender. See? Different viewpoint (either physical or physological), different observation.......
marbelladave Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Wherethefoxhat. Now I am really beginning to believe you are stalking me...... Did a fair amount of work with Graham Nash, post CS&N, in the late 70's. He was doing well in the US but we could barely get him a gig in the UK, decent enough bloke but a bit full of himself. Still after what he had done in CS&N and CSN&Y, who wouldn't be. Stevie Walsh was involved in a 'celebrity golf weekend' business in Marbella when we were still there, used to see him a fair amount at parties and events. Used to get very loud after a few dinks, mostly good value though. How the hell do you know all this, are you going through my bins?.......

marbelladave Posted 27 August 2011 Posted 27 August 2011 I was gonna take the piss but that actually is quite interesting Dave.. And even I get it It really is pretty simple. It gets more complex when we begin to analyse the way a football behaves in 'Einsteinian' space. Newton's classic laws of motion derived from the simple equation - δv/δt = f where f is the acceleration due to gravity, give a reasonable approximation but for truly accurate analysis you need to consider the way the ball moves in 4 dimensional space time. Failing to understand the difference between motion in Newtonian space and Einsteinian space explains why Weale is so useless at saving shots hit from more than 20 yards, beyond his own personal 'event horizon'.

I lied... you're like my mate 'Chris' from University... he was a PHd in Physics... he was a great bloke, we played for the Uni footy team and had a great laff..but get him onto Physics and he went off on one!!

'He has a PHD in Physics'. Unless he looks like a piece of certification paper, that is physically impossible.
