    This is stupid.............

    Neymar has been given permission to leave Barcelona as he looks set to join Paris St-Germain in a 222m euro (£198m) deal.

    How does this relate to football in the park that we all grew up with?

    It's ridiculous Eric and as my dad always said that he could break his leg in his next match and be finished.

    The thing that gets me is well how does this relate to the game we know. It's a bit like thinking watching F1 is anything to do with the Renault, or similar that most of us could be driving around in. It's all to do with TV and advertising. The way of the world I guess that one person services could be worth as much as a small country and he will get paid 200x more than your average person.

    Not yet Mate, it's a bit of a big place but we will I'm sure. Fortunately or unfortunately I'm not in Brisbane, but I do go there occasionally.

    So where are you, Eric? Think Josh is in Sydney, but might be wrong.
