METALMAN Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 4 hours ago, Gazz said: Well, I mean acceleration is Force / mass. The mass of the football is roughly constant, however, increased muscle mass allows for a far greater exertion of force upon an object, based upon F = ma. Ergo, a large force being exerted onto a football would increase the acceleration of a football over a set distance, say twelve yards. This greater acceleration increases velocity, meaning the distance is covered in less time. This is problematic for the goalkeeper, as he has less reaction time to make a decision regarding his movement in relation to the penalty kick, the faster the reaction time, the less likelihood of the correct decision being made and the goalkeeper failing to stop the penalty kick. It's pretty basic classical mechanics with a smattering of neuroscience. Reminds me of an awful worksheet my physics teacher gave me where we had to calculate the drag on that Roberto Carlos free kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Lineker Posted June 2, 2016 Author Admin Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Blackburn Rovers are close to appointing Owen Coyle as their new manager, according to Sky sources. Coyle returned to the UK last week after two years in American where he managed MLS side Houston Dynamo. Rovers have been looking for a new manager since Paul Lambert left Ewood Park 10 days before the end of the season. Meanwhile, Gary Bowyer is the new Blackpool manager and Alan Stubbs has taken over at Rotherham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm sure a former Bolton, Wigan and Burnley manager being appointed will go down fantastically with Blackburn fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted June 2, 2016 Author Admin Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 They don't even have a board - I'm sure a shit manager being appointed is the least of their worries right now! Leeds United have appointed Garry Monk as head coach on a one-year contract and he'll be presented to the media this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Pleased with that announcement. A young, British manager who got some good experience with Swansea. I hope he does well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm surprised Monk has gone there. That could damage his good reputation quickly, considering the average life span of a Leeds United manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Maybe. Depending on how his run goes, he could also get some sympathy for being marginalised by a poorly run club like Malky Mackay did before the e-mail nastiness was made public.
