avyoursay Posted 17 February 2015 Author Posted 17 February 2015 I can see it has some place in sport. Will help some sports more than others, just think it may be over used in football, it's more a natural instinctive game. I can see both for and against arguments, but glad I did have two or three that agreed with me.

From my limited yet ever developing experience I'd say football is still a sport that is in it's young days with sports science compared to many other sports, I think we will still see these departments develop a lot more over the coming years.
Haydos Posted 17 February 2015 Posted 17 February 2015 I agree with that post. If some of the greats could come back and play, they would have a good laugh at what is going on now. Old people in not understanding progression shocker. Stick Ronaldo and Bale even 30 years into the past and people would think they were from another planet.

Swiss_tony Posted 17 February 2015 Posted 17 February 2015 what technology did pearson use that said play 5 at the back against the worst scorers in the premier league?
foxsake Posted 18 February 2015 Posted 18 February 2015 A few scoffers in this thread but 'robot' literally means 'servant' or 'forced labour' (!) so perhaps the OP is not too far off. Besides, Ray Kurzweil has predicted that by 2029 humans will no longer be distinguishable from machines and after that we'll all exist in some kind of technological singularity so I'm not sure what form football will take by then. Perhaps like FIFA '09 but with better graphics. Nigel will be everyone and everyone will be Nigel, which will lead to some interesting tactics and formations no doubt.

avyoursay Posted 18 February 2015 Author Posted 18 February 2015 I thought posting this thread for discussion would have more people going against my view, but for some to use the cream of today's players as examples against players of old, before all this technology took place, is a bit unfair. Being "old" does have its advantages because you can compare how things were with how things are now. I don't live in the past, I'm all for advancing, but my thoughts are that too much technology exists in sport, or atleast in football, and my view is that it really isn't helping our City players, thinking that their brains have become fogged out with far too much information.

avyoursay Posted 18 February 2015 Author Posted 18 February 2015 Technology plays a big part in preparation, not just at our club either. I read an interview with Cryuff the other day, obviously a great gifted player, and he was saying if he played now he wouldn't get into a youth academy because they look for different attributes these days. Football has changed, a lot. Technology plays a big part in preparation, not just at our club either.

avyoursay Posted 18 February 2015 Author Posted 18 February 2015 How sad is that? To think a player like that wouldn't make it through our youth systems of today, just shows to me that football has changed, but definitely not for the better!
avyoursay Posted 18 February 2015 Author Posted 18 February 2015 Biggest crock of rubbish I've ever heard. And your reasons being....?
Captain... Posted 18 February 2015 Posted 18 February 2015 And your reasons being....? I can only presume he has never read anything else on this forum.

To think a player like that wouldn't make it through our youth systems of today, just shows to me that football has changed, but definitely not for the better! I think it's a made-up fact. I recently read an article about Cruyff which mentions youth set-ups in the Guardian. i'm pretty sure he never said anything like that though. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/sep/12/johan-cruyff-louis-van-gaal-manchester-united What you are saying though is a “crock of rubbish”, although I wouldn’t be so rude as to call it so. Rubbish doesn’t come in crocks for one thing. Anyhoo. Technology is an neutral concept. You can’t have too much or too little of it. It’s like saying there’s “too much knowledge” or there’s “too much ability”. All technology does is provide information. So what you mean is that there’s “too much information” being given to the players. You don’t actually know what information is being provided to the players, so I really don’t see how you can say that there’s too much of it. I’m sure that each player isn’t being given a stream of GPS co-ordinates and being asked to memorise them and replicate that movement on match days.
