About

Get Goalside is, at varying points, a blog about the football data industry, a blog about football philosophy, and a blog doing some analytics on occasion. In slightly morphing forms, it's been going for over five years now.

And I'm Mark Thompson - into football data since 2013, working in the football data industry since 2019. I've had the privilege of attending numerous data conferences, working with data from (almost) countless amount of providers, and working with a variety of organisations in the professional game.
