Dean Windass - dementia

[SydneyTiger14]

There are a load of them trying to get paid out currently in Rugby League, the usual suspects led by Goulding. It won't go far.

Very naive

Not being insensitive, but did she have it at 41? I think that’s the point here.

Not when he's 55 its not.

So she had it at 55?

I’d say he definitely isn’t fine in the pub. A former colleague of mine told me he sexually harassed her in a pub.

He’s had a lot of problems with drink over the years and he doesn’t seem to be getting better with it.

The "man" is an utter buffoon....wish someone else had scored "the goal" tbh

 

[balkan tiger]

I’ve had lots of nights out with him over the years, he’s ok when sober, but yes after a few drinks he gets difficult, if he gets well pissed he gets unsufferable. Like most footballers tbh.
His fave trick is walking around a pub …”do you think I’m a legend” most say yes…”are you going to buy me a drink then”

The obvious reply would be, who are ya

It explains why young players like Kamara go up for the ball and lead with their shoulder and don’t use their head at all if the can avoid it - he did it on Sunday - he’s not the only one it’s become very common now . Hughes , Jones and Macca are the obvious exceptions !

The obvious answer to heading the ball is to have a certain number of nominated headerers per team. I think 3 is about right.

Those nominated wear crash helmets, thus protecting them from future harm.

Problem solved.

Helmets actually don't necessarily offer much protection as the brain still 'rattles' inside the skull upon impact. I'm not sure if that just means they need to develop better helmets or if there's still some inherent risk.

Yeah, the whole purpose of any helmet is to prevent penetrating head injuries rather than any and all head injuries.

helmets stop stuff like skull fractures etc

theres nothing you can really do to stop the brain moving about in the skull

if you look at woodpecker physiology, theres no way to limit with the way the human brain and skull exist

 

[Newland Tiger]

Heading in football will definitely be banned , the only question is when

 

[TIGERSCAVE]

The discussion yesterday on radio on this form Nobby Styles son who haded up the campaign Beckham is now endorsing... in his Dads day, it was the weight and construction of the ball, in todays game its the velocity. Think Fin Burns on Sunday.

Who will pay for the care? They were saying that players should pay 1% of salary into a fund, that the PFA should contribute and even ball manufacturers.

Pouring crazy glue into one's ears may help. (wiping off any spillage to prevent the ball from adhering (not adhearing!) to one's head.)
