Did you read in the mirror the other day that a school (I forget where) has banned trainers and football boots because it increases the risk of getting hurt, so they have to wear plimsoles to play football. Despite the fact they still use a leather ball, surely kicking it with plimsoles on will increase injuries.

This country.......

This country really is an embarassment!!!

Check this out aswell, this is Junior football in Aberdeen

Another crazy story i read in the Star last week, see the ladbrokes advert with Kris Kamara (Sky pundit), McCoist and Ian Wright were they are sitting in the cafe, thats getting the plug pulled on it because 4 people out of 50 million complained that it will encourage people to gamble as the people on the advert are celebs. KIN CRAZY

The country is pathetic.

SURELY THAT'S THE troutING POINT!?!?! IT'S AN ADVERT FOR LADBROKES! IF IT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GAMBLE THEN WHY MAKE IT~!?!?!?!? :blink:

Other things banned at some schools -

Conker fights (must wear goggles)
Snowball fights
British Bulldog (used to love that game)

Biritsh Bulldog's been banned! What?

Yup, the teacher's stop us from playing it down this way because "someone will get hurt" or "someone walking through the playground will be run into" - well they should walk around or look where they're going. Jesus!! :rolleyes:

Ye, apparently its 'too dangerous.' Didn't stop us though :D

Rumours coming from Westminster that they will ban everyone in England from getting out of their beds each morning to fully eliminate the risk of people getting hit by a bus. Have to say I agree with that - you don't know what risks and dangers you will face when you walk out your front door in the morning. I know it's extreme but better safe than sorry!



;)

Which is why they should've given us British Bulldog sections. This fkn government :angry: :D

Haha.

:)

To be fair though, we only play it in a certain section where there's no one else - but, yes there are still people that walk through that part...HAHA..

They banned British bullog years ago here, so we started playin rugby bulldog, which is even worse. Im a bit ol to be running after people trying to grab their legs to pull em down now, so we keep ourselves contained by kicking the ball at the smokers in the corner. They ban something slightly dangerous we'll do something more dangerous.

PC Plod is after a promotion round here so he decided to come in and have a chat about snowballs. Basically he's made it his law that snowballs are missiles and anyone caught throwing one will be dealt with in the same manner as if they were throwing a sponge, a rock or a cluster bomb. The summer time came and he had nothing to do so, in between doing drivers for not wearing their seatbelt in the car park, he threatened ASBO's for anyone caught climbing trees and put out an 8pm curfew for everyone.

Next thing you know our head of police in North Wales will be asking for all drugs to be legalised. Bastard, too late.

Anal Health & Safety implementation just for the hell of it is not the reason for all this (although some of it is).

Somewhere down the line somebody has realised that they might get stung very heavily (or already have been stung) for a claim because of something happening under their watch.

Blame the combination of reckless imployers and government bodies who aloud dangerous actions to go on for years and then the over reaction so we now have this compo culture which isn't going to go away.

Snowball fights!! Jeezus! Used to love a good snowball fight back at school. We used to get heaps of days off cos of the snow (none of yer poncy 2 inches and the whole country comes to a stand still up here) more like 2 feet! B)
