The trouble is we'll never win anything with kids.

We should never of forced him out.

Including anagrams: fit, focussed and avoid off the field distractions

It was actually an email I received from work but there were certainly a resonance :thumbsup:

I guess what you're saying is that a learning difference is a learning difficulty that has been addressed. But I am not sure it becomes a difference until it has been identified as a difficulty. The learning difference would describe the alteration in training and/or assessment that levels the...

Fair point. I may have suggested previously that if a player is conscious and makes a massive fuss requiring a stretcher they must be subbed off, not sponged down and allowed to trot back on 2 minutes later.

Anything we record must have captions. Apparently this is the law. Unfortunately the captions are terrible. Voice recognition gets the words wrong. We had a near catastrophe when we found that 'nigrostriatal pathway' have been captioned as if by Alf Garnett. If deafness is going to be an issue...

Very minimum, make referees follow the rules. There is no rule that says play has to be stopped because a keeper (or anyone else) has cramp, and if a player is injured they should go off for treatment. These are the rules. If refs and players don't like the rules they need to be changed.

It is the same everywhere, just dressed up differently, with different rules. I liked to think there was little class bias in Vancouver when I lived there (the head of department chatted with the cleaner, unheard of in the UK at the time) but of course the attitude to 'East Indians' (Sikhs...

Yep. If you are injured, go off for treatment. And anyone rolling back onto the pitch before calling for the physio should be red carded. And play should never be stopped for someone going down off the ball unless they are in VF (cardiac arrest) or injured sufficiently* to be subbed (and they...

Interesting. Am I reading from that: if difficulties can be overcome then differences cannot. I am not sure this would be my understanding of the definition of either. I remain suspicious that 'difference' has been adopted as terminology to mitigate against the pejorative implication of...

RDZ told March he was brilliant and suddenly he was brilliant. Scored more goals in a few months than previous years. Seven of his 21 league goals were all scored in one of his eleven seasons.

Perhaps there are people on NSC who can clear up something for me. I have noticed that when our students (I am a uni lecturer) are given extra time in exams owing to dyslexia or ADHD, and when staff are asked to provide captions for recorded lectures to assist students who are deaf, these...

I'm now torn. You make good points. When I was a kid and went to church, St Nicholas' in Portslade had a rather traditional vicar, Reverend Hellaby (crazy name, crazy guy) and there was a longish bit where he warbled something and we warbled something in reply, and so on. Luckily, there was a...

Precisely.

Not sure I like the tone of your 'surprise' ??? :cheery:

Indeed. The last thing I want to see on the screen is a load of people not singing.

No change there, then. You should have seen it at the Goldstone back in the 1970s in front of 12,000 yawning, sorry, adoring fans, me laddio. If I fancied a quiet cigarette and plastic cup of Bovril on a Saturday afternoon, I knew just where to go. For a few bob I could lean against a...

You mean....our legendary atmosphere.....has been destroyed? I am distraught.
