    Is this where Professional football is going ? (Or may go.)

    Stuff that - And also stuff any notion that City should look to sign a 'Target Man'. ;)
    (May as well make CB's redundant, too :D)

    Leave the game alone, I say.
    Not one of my football related injuries was caused by my heading a football.

    They quote lots of players who have died from dementia etc.I'm not sure it tests the cause and effect. Players will be naturally fitter etc. Therefore its more likely they will die from dementia rather than heart attacks etc.

    As long as people are aware of the risks then that should be ok. At younger ages the ball doesn't spend that long in the air and the velocity is far lower

    And let's not forget the biggest 'risk' by HSE standards are 'trips and slips' ............ They never happen in football ............................ Do they ?

    there are risks in many activities in life as long as people are aware of them that should be enough.if people want to box climb mountains, drive fast cars on race tracks or head a football let them get on with it we don’t want a nanny state

    My thinking exactly. Players will have to sign an extra disclaimer form if they want to play for Phil Parkinson or Neil Warnock
