Delighted to have to wait to access Atherstone top lock yesterday while @NarrowBoatTrust NB Nuneaton towing butty Brighton through. Beautiful working reminders of the UKs canal heritage.
Maybe misunderstanding the AFL decisions today but don't most clubs already have full time sport psychs? Even if not full time, surely they could refer a player who needs it to a clinical psych outside the club/salary cap?
If Carlton sped Lij home to avoid spotlight (media/testing or fans) then I hope he wasn't left on his own. That seems an additional level of risk for someone in MH crisis. Also if the Pies footage is legit, should they have said something, and if so, to whom and when?
Sad times for a Boro institution. Gi-Gis fuelled the many last minute assignments and post-club early mornings of my student life. Abdul was as nice a man then as he is now. Wish him all the best. https://t.co/qMcav5GhwU
Isn't there an indie doc there to look at head injuries? If none of the players, umpires, club officials didn't take Lij out of the game, shouldn't a doctor have been able to do it?
Collard: has prior, said he didn't say what was alleged, no evidence but found guilty, career possibly done. Butters: most fined player (easy target if Foot is trying something) said he didn't say what was alleged, no evidence so....what next?
Yes he has prior, so it's easy to assume, but also the other lads don't remember what they themselves said but absolutely convinced on what Collard said? Stinks either way round imho.
Well #FinalSiren ep 2 got me. Really resonated with the stuff about how can you trust your body when it lets you down through injury, the shame and embarrassment coming with that And I'm not even close to an elite athlete so can only imagine how much worse it was for Fyfe.
The funniest thing about calling genAI haters "Luddites" is that the actual Luddites didn't smash sewing machines becase "technology bad." They were protesting that their jobs were being automated out to mass underpaid workers, using garment techniques they had developed
