Re: Sacked and barred from working with children

I'm too old for this trans & pronoun lark I don't understand the fuss being made about it.

I struggle to understand why someone going through the trauma of a gender change would even contemplate the challenge of elite sport.

I struggle to understand lots of modern offences

I might be old but I'm not deaf

Whether it actually was a foul on the keeper is another issue

Except he'd already blown for a foul on the 'keeper. I heard the whistle before it got to Kudus

IN the modern world a lot of youngsters from abroad support players rather than teams
Not just abroad, my 10 yo grandson has a collection of shirts of all his favourite players, I've bought a couple for him, too. He claims not to support any team.

My view was that he saw Emersomn pointing and deliberately flipped the ball at his arm, ala Salah v Tomkins a few years ago
