Klaus Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 All you have to do is read the comments on twitter. People really are thick like. 'never did me any harm' Okay, we should ignore the experts then. Let them play with fire as well, because I was never burned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Going to be a lot of angry people about this. Edit: Also that kid in the dark top should get the whip. Closing your eyes when up for a header is a serious offence. Could have the unintended consequence of producing better-skilled players. Having to learn to trap the ball with your chest, foot, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closing your eyes when up for a header is a serious offence. Could have the unintended consequence of producing better-skilled players. Having to learn to trap the ball with your chest, foot, etc. Its not banned from matches though, so all these kids heading the ball incorrectly in matches will end up worse off. The email I got from the FA states they can train to head the ball once a month with a maximum of 5 headers at the age of U12, once a week at U13, increasing to 10 headers a week up to U17. At U18 do as little as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 It's a tough one. If studies show that repetitive heading can lead to brain injuries similar to concussion then yeah, something needs to change. However, most of the professionals they've scanned have played professionally for 10+ years heading the ball way more than a child will. HOWEVER, the skull and the development of a child's brain still isn't hardened or matured, so yeah. It's a tough spot. You don't want anyone getting long term brain injuries in their later years.

Which currently has a big FA push and initiative with Pokémon to push it in schools and youth level (despite nationally a lack of facilities and understanding of the game). Most people think you can rock up on a five-a-side pitch and play 'FUTSAL INNIT'. I love the game, no idea why the UK is so behind the times with it. Indoors. Fast paced. Skillful.

Stifler Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Baffles me why we don’t have beach football pitches at our seaside towns.

Disco Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 How much is a £3.20 going for these days? Also can’t think of anywhere I’ve been that has official pitches at or on the beach. Volleyball usually. All about the courts in neighbourhoods for the soccer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Nowt better than a stroll down the beach, hoying your tops down as goals and having a kick about.

Tribesman Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I might be overreacting here, but I think all matches in Europe should at the very least be played behind closed doors though if it were my choice I would just call off matches altogether. I know clubs will lose out financially especially for lower league clubs, but the public's health should come first. If UEFA and countries football associations refuse then take the decision out of their hands because this is getting far too serious now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
