...................in football, now we are heading towards no heading in football by the looks of if it. I totally understand the heading but tackling is an integral part of football as a contact sport. It's not for the likes of Elton ****s and Queens. Should heading be banned or do you think? No need for Derpsters on here to comment.
It’s should defo not be allowed at youth level (heading) . Constant ‘blows’ to the head will definitely cause damage leading to dementia etc Different sport but US is looking into the impact , pun,‘American football has on the brain . several players have developed psychological problems later in life (or even during built career - Aaron Hernandez )
If you head a football properly it won’t do you any harm. these guys from the 60s n that were heading big heavy balls. Ooh err missus
I'm surprised my coupon managed to survive the numerous times it was struck by one of those hard as **** orange mitre balls on a freezing cold Saturday morning in the 70's. Legs as well.
The balls are whipped in now at a million miles an hour you will be getting the same damage no doubt about it
Mitre Delta in the face and a big gravel gash down your leg was preferable to being an altar boy on a Sunday
Those red blaise pitches in the Glasgow area were ****ing brutal. I remember us playing on one that was half covered with ice at 9am on a Saturday morning. Still, the half time orange segments sorted it all.
If we don't have tackling football will be the same as basketball where each team rushes towards the opposition and gets a free shot. Might as well have 4 quarters, make the goals twice the size and get scores like 110-112 Might be onto a winner here though, hotdogs, popcorn and cheerleaders works for me.
