  1. The headline is more of a problem than the content. The physical and mental benefits of taking part in sports are well documented. This isn't about little Johnny being forced to play rugby for half an hour a week for about 6 weeks a year in the very controlled, risk assessed environment that is a Tuesday morning PE lesson, I think we're talking about kids that are really into rugby, that play at a decent level outside of school 2 or 3 times a week, or the kid who tried boxing as an 8 year old and loves it and goes to the local boxing gym twice a week. Increased exposure to the sport does increase the risk of brain injury and it is for (in conjunction with the child) the governing bodies of the sports, the local clubs and coaches and the parents responsibility to manage the risk. I dare say that there is room to improve in this area with all sports, but to suggest that allowing your son or daughter to play a sport that they love is child abuse is ridiculous and takes gravitas away from actual criminal child abuse.
  2. Line up tells me everything thing I need to know about Enzo. Complete lack of ambition. You can't win anything with kids.
  3. If you are in a town or city, most networks are pretty good. In rural environments they can vary, if that's you then you should ask around or test different sims. I'm in a village and O2 is fine, Vodafone is patchy and EE/Three almost non existent, but that's not the same everywhere. EE are currently quite aggressively turning off 3G at the moment... Depending on your device/plan, this could have a bearing on your current experience. All networks are committed to switching off 3G by next year. Looks like Vodafone and EE will be first.
  4. It's the club that gets punished because the club did a bad thing. It's ok to sympathise with the fans, but ultimately fans will support teams through the downs as well as the ups. If someone has a well paid job and their family enjoy a comfortable life but then that person decides to get drunk and drive home one night and gets arrested, which leads to the courts banning them from driving which in turn, leads to them losing their job and the family falling on hard times... Is it the court's fault that the family have to majorly adjust their lifestyle? No.
  5. That's because they knew that FFP wouldn't really be applied to the big clubs. The only problem is that it turns out Everton aren't actually that big of a club in the grand scheme of things.
  6. 11 v 11 we win that game 100 times out of 100. Us receiving a red card with half the game to play was literally the only way they get anything from the game. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter so we move on.
  7. I'm just watching the snooker. The referee is a stunner! Don't know her name. She has blonde hair and glasses.
  8. You'd probably like "Spoons" by Grant Sharkey... It's a bit different, but give it a chance
