Robot helps Jack McLinden, 14, to be Everton mascot

A 14-year-old Everton fan has made history by becoming football's first "remote" match-day mascot - with the aid of the robot.

Jack McLinden, who has multiple health conditions, experienced joining his heroes on the pitch before their game against Newcastle United on Monday.

Everton captain Phil Jagielka carried the robot, which fed panoramic live images and sound back to Jack's tablet.

A microphone enabled him to chat with players in the Goodison Park tunnel.

The robot, called AV1, was made by Norwegian firm No Isolation and was designed to help youngsters with long-term illness battle loneliness and attend school from home.
The company has worked with UK charity WellChild to give Liverpool teenager Jack, who has much-reduced mobility, an unforgettable experience.

Everton's head of engagement Scott McLeod said: "The most important thing for everybody at the club is that we have had the opportunity, through this amazing technology, to do something incredible for an inspirational young Evertonian.

"We are thrilled to have had the chance to do this for Jack and we hope it has provided him with a memory he will always treasure."

Karen Dolva, chief executive and co-founder of No Isolation, said: "For Jack, the dream of being a mascot for his favourite football club was not likely to happen given his condition.

"Working with such a wonderful and inclusive club as Everton to give Jack this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is a moment myself and those working at our company will never forget."


 
Just seen Hegazi won’t be charged for his unprovoked punch on Ings.

So raising your hands and touching someones face no matter no matter how hard is a straight red. Yet 3 people on a panel have decided that clenching your first and punching someone’s stomach while laying on the floor is a perfectly acceptable thing to do.

Next time we play West Brom (could be a while to be fair) wonder if Ings will give one back. Gets sent off then just appeal it and throw this whole incident back as evidence.

He also slapped Salah on purpose.

Holgate has already proven you can shove a player into any object you like.

Well that's Mo, brushed off the BBC top football stories after winning the top players accolade, but they've left the later story on there about "A sense of destiny about Roma" to show which mast they've pinned their flag to.

Twats.<laugh>
