Not sure if this is the right forum, but I see the Scottish government is considering banning kids under 12 from heading the ball, and the US have already done it. I guess in future less worry about corner kicks against us to worry about https://www.thejournal.ie/poll-heading-football-ban-4968798-Jan2020/

Good move. Sure look at what heading a rock hard frozen dirty Mitre Multiplex has done to me.  I don't know who I am.

It's the Scottish Football Association that is going to ban heading for kids aged under twelve - not the Scottish Government.

If it gets kids to learn how to skilfully move the ball up the pitch, keep it on the grass and not resort to aimless punts to hopeless target men then that's good. 

There have been quite a number of cases of former Scottish football players suffering from dementia in recent years and doctors strongly suspect frequent heading of the ball was responsible. So that's why it's under the spotlight here.

The UK MEP’s said their goodbyes in Brussels today.
Dominic Raab signed the official document ratifying the deal for the UK side.
Raab said it was “the start of a new chapter for an independent, sovereign Britain, looking forward to a decade of renewal and opportunity”.

In other news today....

Don't think Brussells will be too sorry seeing the back of Martina Anderson. An embarrassment at the best of times

That Irish jersey stunt was mortifying.

She says she'll be back when Ireland is united.I'm going for 30 years on that so she'll be a deranged old biddy of 88.

I don't think I've a more shameful video than that of Farage and the other MEP's waving goodbye to the European Parliament LOL

It's like something out of a comedy sketch.

She already is a deranged (not quite so) old biddy! LOLTongue
 
I thought the day she went into full fishwife mode when she told Teresa May where she could stick her backstop plan was even more mortifying. Embarrassed  Never mind the Ireland football top, she might as well have worn her pj's and night gown and had a cigarette in her hand - and delivered her speech from the doorstep of a rundown council house - to finish off that full fishwife effect. LOL

Agreed. Embarrassing. Thought Mairead McGuinness handled it well
Farage is some fooking goon

Personally I’ll miss Farage as an MEP.

His hatred for the EU and constantly sl*gging everyone off and just being a complete bastard made fantastic news
