Mobile Phones and Football Fans (lecture 5 by James Orwell)

Written by: Jonathan Briggs

James has sent through the slides he used in last night's lecture and is happy to answer questions for you.

This is an exciting area of work and a good example of how different (and often non-mobile) technologies have to be pulled together to create an application.

Jonathan - I cannot find the lecture notes for 'Mobile Phones and Football Fans'. You said that you've put them up, but they are not under lecture 5.

Jonathan replies: Sorry about that Jo - I had put the file in the wrong place. Check back and it should be OK - on the RHS as usual.

I have a question that has intrigued me for a long time.

When managers talk about formations, from 4-4-2 to christmas tree etc... I often think.. well they are roughly in those positions at kick off.. but how close to their actual positions throughout a game is it... and does it matter?

Could you take the players positions, average them out and then tell the manager what formation they are actually playing? I don't know why but I'd like to think this may be useful to coaches and footie pundits alike. I'm sure Sky would pay and whip up some fancy graphics for this kind of visualisation.
