      Swansea name Luke Williams as new manager with Star Wars video as fans say ‘he should rip up the contract’

      SWANSEA have announced the arrival of new manager Luke Williams with a bizarre Star Wars video.The Championship side sacked Michael Duff in December after less than six months in charge following a run of just one win in eight games.

      Now they have appointed a permanent successor in Williams, 42, who leaves League Two side Notts County to join the second-tier outfit.
      But the unveiling of the club’s new head coach was carried out in an unorthodox manner.
      Swansea shared a 34-second video with the caption: “Luke, you are our gaffer 🦢.”
      In the edited Star Wars clip, a person walks through a door on a ship with a green lightsaber and a black hood covering their face.

      It then pans to a number of characters from the film, before it switches back to the individual with the hood as they remove it to reveal themselves as Williams.
      But the incredible video didn’t end there.
      Yoda pokes up from behind a chair and edited onto the iconic green Star Wars creature is the face of Swans forward Jamie Paterson.
      Some fans praised the attempt, with one saying: “Welcome Luke 🙌 brilliant signing and very excited by it. Swans Media team – you have won the internet too 😂👏”

      While another added: “Absolute work of art lol 🤩😭🙌🏻🦢.”
      But others were not a fan as someone responded: “What the f*** is this?”
      And a second replied: “He should rip up the contract and come back [to Notts County] after this monstrosity.”
      Williams, who has also coached Swindon, led Notts County to promotion from the National League through the play-offs last season after they finished second behind Wrexham with a club-record 107 points.
      He was previously a member of Swansea’s backroom staff under Russell Martin during the 2021/22 campaign.
      The Welsh side sit 16th in the Championship table, eight points adrift of the play-offs and 10 above the relegation zone.

      Star Wars-style pod racing which could be regulated like F1 may emerge by 2025 as one of leading tech innovations

      by

      A LEADING futurologist has revealed how tech will change sport – including AI training sessions, micro-technology skin implants, and Star Wars-style pod racing.Dr Ian Pearson, who has more than 1,800 inventions to his name – including text messaging – has predicted what innovations we can expect in sport in coming decades.

      The new tech will enable athletes to improve their performance and give fans the ultimate viewing experience – and wouldn’t look out of place in a sci-fi blockbuster.
      And it’s not just participants who will benefit from the enhancements.
      Dr Pearson, who has teamed-up with 888 Sport to share his insights, believes fans will be able to wear special glasses at sports events which display real-time stats and allow them to zoom in on the action.
      Some gadgets are even likely to be commonplace within the next couple of years – including Star Wars-style pod racing which he claims we can expect to see in 2025.
      READ MORE IN SPORT
      Dr Pearson said: “Drone races would be a bit like pod racing in Star Wars.
      “So that’s an emerging sport which could be regulated in a similar way to Formula 1.
      “The drones would be restricted in terms of power to ensure competitors are on a level playing field.”
      Numerous exciting developments are expected when it comes to improving the performance of athletes.

      These include the introduction of augmented reality (AR) glasses to training sessions for elite footballers by 2025.
      While it’s predicted the 2030s will see athletes wear electronics on – or even under – the skin to enhance their performance.
      And tech called ‘active skin’ – an example of sensing technology – will be used by pros to improve their technique in sports like tennis or golf, to help develop muscle memory for a particular action.
      Dr Pearson added: “AR glasses will adapt to what happens in real time, so I can see heavy use of augmented reality in training.
      “Printing electronics straight onto the skin’s surface, or putting tiny electronic capsules into the skin, you can get direct access to your blood and your nervous system.
      “This way, you can monitor exactly what’s happening inside your body at any given time and assess this with your coach to devise the best strategy for you based on this continuous data that is available in real time.
      “Active skin would enhance how fast you’re learning quite considerably, and it would allow you to develop the muscle memory much faster.
      “A younger athlete would be able to get to a good level in a few months instead of a few years.”
      But it’s not all about the athletes – tech such as AR and AI will change how fans enjoy sport come 2027.
      Dr Pearson said: “For fans who are watching football for example, rather than participating simultaneously, future designs of AR glasses could be used to zoom in on a particular area of the pitch.
      “You’ll be able to see the pitch from any angle and zoom as you like to see expressions and get closer to players.
      “If you’re obsessed with statistics, you can have all the statistics you want in your field of view.
      “Even if you’re in the stadium, you can still use this AR technology to improve your view while soaking up the atmosphere.
      “Another option to give fans an entirely new view of football would be for the players to wear cameras in their kits to give fans the exact view of a player and to see where they’re looking.”
      Other possible innovations include using boron to make sports equipment, improvements in how data is used to boost decision-making in athletes, and a technology-enhanced Olympics.

      Dr Pearson said: “We could see a technology-enhanced Olympics in 2050 where people are allowed to use all sorts of technologies.
      “Whether it’s equipment, clothes, genetic enhancements, or smart drugs that are all available and could give athletes an advantage and may make some sports more exciting to watch.” More

      Millennium Falcon flies injured players off pitch as Mexican club Xolos put Star Wars spaceship on roof of golf cart

      by

      THE Millennium Falcon was on hand to fly injured players off the pitch as Mexican club Club Tijuana brilliantly transformed the medical car.
      Star Wars-mad Los Xolos added the famous spaceship on to the roof of the cart.

      So without making light of the crocked players in the Wars, it certainly made for entertaining viewing when the doctors were called on.
      In the absence of the traditional stretcher, the stars were helped on to the glorified and modified golf buggy and ‘flown’ away in hilarious fashion – like an attack of the drones.
      Unfortunately the force was not with Xolos as they played out a 0-0 draw with Tigres in Liga MX.
      But unsurprisingly, Twitter could not get enough of the Star Wars adaptation.

      One said: “See no reason why this isn’t rolled out across the board. Mandatory.”
      Another joked: “Made it from the centre circle to the dug outs in 15 parsecs…”
      And one simply but very cleverly quipped: “Han Xolos.”
      But Tijuana’s director of marketing Esteban De Anda revealed there was a slightly more serious note to the nod to the film franchise. Slightly.

      He said: “The agreement reached to celebrate the end of the Skywalker saga makes clear testimony of two important objectives: innovation and vanguard.” Right.

      However, this is not the first time – and hopefully not the last – Xolos have integrated Star Wars into the club.
      Last season they had a Star Wars-themed match with the players walking out to the iconic soundtrack accompanied by… stormtroopers.
      And to top it off, they even wore their specially-designed, custom-made Star Wars kit, with Darth Vader across the front of the red-and-black shirt and a stormtrooper on the goalkeeper’s jersey.
