    With the end in sight, how have our online participants dealt with the bitter blow of a countries exit from the tournament and has this impacted on a willingness to participate?

  • A comedy of errors

    Now we’re in the knockout stages mistakes more than ever cost big. So who’s slipping up and will they overshadow the tournament? Will they overshadow our panel? With so many teams knocked out we take a look at the effect upon our World Cup panel and if they’re still playing ball off the pitch irrespective of national achievements on the pitch.

    Hi there Anonymous, Our panel is a qualitative project we're running at Discovery. It's all online using The Thinking Shed which is a tool that allows us to engage respondents using lots of different web based applications such as bulletin boards and visual stimulus annotation. In terms of who they are, everyone is from the research industry; we've got agencies, clients and suppliers all of varying seniority from CEOs through to junior researchers. I've been running the recruitment of this project for about 6 weeks and have representatives from most of the qualifying countries (we struggled with North Korea, Uruguay and Paraguay as they aren't easy to crack but all the other countries have one or two researchers representing them). There's also a UK panel where we've got qualitative researchers from all over the country giving us their views. If you or anyone else would like to join us then please feel free to e-mail me at - michael@discoveryres.co.uk and I'll be happy to help.

    Thanks David... would an England vs. Germany fixture liven it up enough for you?! Our panel aren't happy about that!

    Hi Mike... as I said though "early mornig kick offs" for Australia. I remember being in Sydney when Spurs were playing Man United in the Carling Cup final in 2009... that 3am kick off was tough for work the next day (not even including the loss I had to deal with!)
