What the heck happened there?

[earthJoker]

He (the trainer) was angry, the referee let one of his player on the field just a moment before he continued the game. The opposite team scored just after that.

[Flixy]

Did he get a card for this? Would hope so.

[earthJoker]

Yes, the red

I didn't know trainers wore three piece suits like that.

[earthJoker]

Many football trainers do





Well not all trainers can be as fashionate as Arsene Wenger

[Timbuk2]

Those are managers, not trainers.

Trainers isn't a word that would really be used here. Coach would be the equivalent word. And coaches would indeed normally wear sports gear, not suits. Managers wear the suits.

[earthJoker]

In English everything is a manager Even janitors are called facility managers

Seriously, most of those managers are trainers of their teams as well, and if they do a training they wear sport suits. Just not at the matches:







Are there actually teams that are not trained by the same person that manages them? I don't talk about physio or other special trainers.

[Flixy]

What the English call manager is called trainer, or coach, over here. And depends what you mean by managing, there's also technical directors etc.

Regardless, they have always been known as managers.

And while the manager may oversee some of the coaching (training), coaching sessions are normally run by the head coach.

Mourinho for instance has four first team coaches, who will actually do the coaching. Then there are the fitness coaches, the goalkeeping coach, the technical director, medical director, academy director, scouts etc etc etc.

Mourinho as the manager manages all of them. That's what management is.

EDIT: just saw your post Flix. Might be a translation issue then ...

I was under the impression training is called training ( ) and done by (assistant) trainers, while coaching is being by the sideline instructing, deciding the line-up, substitutes, etc. Back when I played volleyball we had a trainer, who did the training, and a coach who was there for all matches, and in charge of lineups, substitutions, and time outs, and coaching the team in general.Playing in the second to lowest league we didn't have a manager

[Timbuk2]

But then who directs the coaches who train the managers of the players being assisted by the physios under the oversight of the scouts?

The sport director?

For example in Bayern München. Pep Guardiola is the trainer (or in English manager), but Mathias Sammer is the director. Sammer is the once coordinating all the stuff.

Somebody with far too much time on their hands has created versions of the London Underground Map.


1. A circular tube map



4. The London Underground-style map of the world.



5. And, while we’re at it, the London Underground-style map of the galaxy



6. The life expectancy map.



7. The (extremely) minimalist tube map



8. The orbital railway - plotting the Tube, rail and DLR, tram, and cable car line onto a topologically accurate map.



9. London, as it would look if the tube map was totally accurate.



10. And the tube map as it would look if it was actually accurate.



11. The delightful anagram tube map.



12. The actually underground map of the underground.

[Timbuk2]

14. The Tube-map of the Doctor Who universe



15. The Daily Mail’s “moral underground” (2010)



17. The spiral tube map (spirals out from the most densely connected station)

Wow, I have a photo in that exact same cover buried somwehere. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that event photobooths have been using the same backgrounds since the mid 1990s.

The Milkyway Galaxy tube map is also a joke about Long Island since it includes both The Hamptons and Levittown.

Is that a small airplane flying alongside ("above") or just a scratch on the photograph's negative?

In front of Brooklyn? Looks like a good old double decker to me.
