smcc Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Over the past few years discussions about heading the ball have centred on the effects on the brain. One thing that has always interested me is why so many players close their eyes when heading the ball. There is a piece in today's Herald about Ryan Jack accompanied by a picture of him rising to head the ball against Serbia, with his eyes screwed tight shut. When I was a young boy(a very long time ago) I was always taught to keep my eye on the ball when heading it. Perhaps this explains the many misdirected headers prevalent in today's football.

Agree 100%. The "art" of heading the ball has dwindled over the years I'm surprised they are trying to say they should stop practising in training as I don't think it's a big part of the training routine. There's been many "great" headers over the years, Drogba in the Champions league final a few years ago was a corker. (I hope he didn't have his eyes shut) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Maybe they have been told to shut their eyes, so they don't see the damage they're causing to their brains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I fell backwards off my Dad's Garage Roof when I was seven and landed on my head. That may explain an awful lot of my life's history. So be it, I am cool with those consequences. Better than dying at the time. Anyway, never mind my brain damage. I DO SEEM TO BE PERMANENTLY LIVING INSIDE QUITE A FEW PEOPLES HEADS ON THIS FORUM. That fills me with glee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 The Arbroath yin will continue to kid on to ignore me because he is not a decent man.

Perhaps you are suffering from MRE disease - Must.....Respond......to.....Everything. Colloquially known as Bazil Syndrome. The nature of the ignore function on BAWA means often responses still get back to the person when either 1. They are quoted 2. The person removes you from ignore because they use the ignore function as a statement of how upset they are There is nothing "stupid" about continuing to post to someone that has you on ignore for these reasons, often they still keep an interest in your posts by responding to other people's replies. Very simple to understand, surprised you don't. A further caveat, if anyone wants to full ignore me, fine I would leave them to it but I would include not bringing me up in other topics and raging over responses to me in that as well.

You ARE a twat. I do have him on ignore. I don’t do ‘banality’ very well. (For a small period, on someone else’s PC in summer, my ignore list wasn’t functioning. I saw some of his shit.
