When you have someone else recording information on performance the validity of the results are dependent on the observers focus and attention during the match and the importance they place on the process. Football is a very fast paced sport and there is likely to be a number of incidents and patterns of play. If an observer takes their eye of the match to complete the record they may miss something which brings into question the reliability of the findings. The content of the disciplinary record has to be correct in the first place to focus on key elements of emotional performance. The information which is being collected is based on an observer’s perception of what represents a negative behaviour or action. Subsequently, this could impact on the validity of the results as it could be a bias assessment.
