UniFox21 Posted 21 October 2019 Share Posted 21 October 2019 Swear this isn't a new discovery, I remember watching a programme a year or so back where this was known and Shearer had gone for a scan to see if he was at risk at that point. Constantly heading heavy football's going at pace caused swellings and damage to the brain potentially leading to encephalopathy. This study appears to have just quantified something that was already known Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This study appears to have just quantified something that was already known In 2002, the tragic death of Jeff Astle aged just 59 and the findings that were made post-mortem, raised serious concerns for the game of football and sport in general.

Constantly heading heavy football's going at pace caused swellings and damage to the brain potentially leading to encephalopathy. This study appears to have just quantified something that was already known Thing is, the study is based on a group of players who last played in the mid-1970s, when footballs were much heavier. Tragic as it is, football as we know it in 2019 - or indeed, as we have known it for the past 25 years, minimum, is not the cause of these increased dementia rates, and if this study was carried out again in 20 years time you'd see a notable fall-off in the rate of occurrence. Indeed, while I'm not going to claim it was the primary reason, I'd imagine the effect of heading the ball on players was a key reason for that rapid development of the modern football in the years from the 1970 World Cup onwards. But of course, you'll have the same sort of well-meaning but ill-informed people who oppose safe standing based on what football was like in the 1980s using this to campaign for the end to headers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you, the technology especially of the football's themselves has massively improved. I'm sure the results would decrease should the studies be focused on those in more recent times. Did notice how they focused on the negatives rather than the positives of reduced chance of various other conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire probably is more “complete’, as he’s decent on the ball, but he’s not a better defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most important quality in the best centre backs is probably intelligence , that's why I rate John Terry as one of the greatest ever . Its Jonnie Evans' greatest strength as well.

SuperMike Posted 21 October 2019 Share Posted 21 October 2019 Is it just me or does tonight's Arsenal team look pretty rubbish (other than Au-wotsisname-bang)?
