New chants

[Ed2607]

I guess you neither a physicist, nor a mathematician, because after being struck the ball would only get slower. Its the strike of the ball that accelerates it, and immediately friction with the air starts to slow it down.

Wrong. Your ignoring the very force which thrusts an object to its target, acceleration.

Secondly, I'm afraid to disappoint you on your guess but my knowledge on the subject is not derived from guesswork or conjecture. Perhaps my explanation in the last post wasn't clear so Ill try and clarify if it makes you happier.

Simply put, it takes an object time to build up acceleration, in this case the ball. From leaving the boot the ball will not accelerate to 70 mph immediately no matter how hard it's hit. (Eg: A car will not go from 0 to 60 in 0 seconds no matter how powerful the engine) this has to do with inertia, motion and Mr Newtons gravity and the forces of physics.

Regardless of this, the ball is full of air, it will not kill someone otherwise we might have a few more people ducking out of walls because by the time the ball travels 10 yards the force, speed and power of the ball is far greater than one travelling over a few feet which means impact would be far greater over the objects prime distance. (The distance where it achieves maximum velocity before, as you point out, starting to reduce in speed)

Bacon face was wrong to say what he said and you can defend it all you want but fact is better than fiction in most instances.

A Yank who doesn't get irony or physics... What are the odds?

;-)

Why get involved when the subject has been amicably Resolved? However, for your information, clueless retorts on Bluemoon is why I rarely post. I am not a yank, the pond means the Irish sea, I've been a Blue for close on 50 years and I have forgotten more about Physics and Anotomey and Physiolgy than most will ever know so catch yourself on coming on the thread and being ignorant to a fellow Blue about a subject which you likely have never been educated on or experienced.

too many plastics on this thread. Don't know the words or have never heard of 'city don't worry bout a thing, cos every little thing is gonna be alright' oh yeah and let's sing more songs about united player's than our own, brilliant

Anyone know around what time the van rapist songs were sung?

top top quality ...hats off


''LOL he could've been dead''

It was a stupid statement based on no knowledge or fact from someone with no medical experience. He should stick to berating referees or insulting other clubs, at least there's more truth in that!

It wasn't a stupid statement, it was meant to be outrageous in order to take the attention away from van persie lunging and punching the guy in the stomach after the event.

To be fair Hart couldve died when they scored their 3rd. We're lucky to still have him.

Very true, strikers need to be stopped kicking the ball, where is the health and safety executive when you need them ?

Posts 22 to 24 of this thread are the worst series of posts I've ever seen.

I don`t suppose Sky or BBC aired the "your worse than Clattenburg" chant near or at the end of the game?

It's no laughing matter. The poor bloke could well have ended up dead. Let's have some respect, blues.

I hope this is a WU Jim!

for the record, it wouldn't have killed anyone. The ball was too close to him and therefore traveling slow. Wouldve done more damage hit from distance as the speed would have built up to 70 plus mph, from short distance no real speed would have built up.

Also, a football is filled with air which means the outer surface will be displaced on inpact and implode as much as possible to allow for the impact, different story if it had been a golf ball or a cricket ball.

Don't take my word for it, if you don't believe me check it out with your resident neurologist.

Just Spot On.
