http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38507682 Here's yet another example of a young football player using social media without engaging the brain. His post was disgraceful and the punishment fitting. I'm sure he'll get back into football, but if he makes similar mistake in the future - that...

Couple I had forgotten about are Glen Hysen and Ronny Rosenthal. The thing that springs to mind about Ronny is his open goal miss - cant remember who it...

The media do seem to protect some players whilst berating others. I’m a Newcastle fan but - take Shearer as an example. He was an excellent player (no doubt there) but he could be dirty. The media (and often the ref) didn’t see it though. He needed his arms for leverage. Barton on the other hand...

Good thread Aber. It’s great to see people discussing mental health openly. In the past I have worked on a mental health initiative that aimd to use football as a means to reach men that are often labelled as ‘hard to reach’. In your view, do you think that football clubs could play a role in...
