Deuce Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 The whole "merrr it encourages kids to play a certain style of the game which is flavour of the month" is a silly argument. Because you say it is? I'd say being able to properly control the ball with your chest/feet and pass accurately along the ground are pretty fundamental to any style of football. It's an important part of the game. Just because it isn't as trendy now doesn't mean it isn't a useful skillset. It's an entirely facile argument when the real issue is whether or not it's giving kids brain damage. Never said heading wasn't useful, simply that it could be introduced later if there are concerns about safety. Doesn't take much parsing of the forum to know where I stand on the concussion issue. I've been pretty open about it. Clearly the salient issue here is indeed safety, and my previous post didn't indicate otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Just checked the origin. Looks like it's "average number of consecutive seasons played by footballers on the pitch in the first-team squad of their club". In other words, because we've got so many young players, they've actually been at our club 4-5+ years, but only count as 1-2 because they've been in the U-21s, or on loan. Interesting nonetheless, but pretty useless in our case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
