Not to come across as a Piers Morgan type but think the sporting world has gone mad this week. Olympian doesnt get what she wants, quits and is given superstar status for her honesty. Its elite sport. Its going to get tense.
And then the rule where a professional player can only head the ball ten times a week and thats him done.
What is a manager supposed to do with that. Ration his tactics and all you hear is how good it is by people, with all due respect have nothing to do with it.
By all means do your research, do your report, make your suggestions and let adults choose. Go one further put on a mandatory course, each player gets the education, signs to say he understands and even that no manager can force him to take risks hes not willing to but for god sake let adults make adult decisions.
We know smoking kills. Obesity kills. Alcohol kills. But we still give people a choice and free will.
I expect any football from the last 100 years would sign a waiver to allow him to play the game.
Enjoy your Olympics whilst theres still gold medals to play for. Seems that some are going down the "they're all winners route".
Wonder the scenes at Lostock when a Logans Run bubble comes for Santos after his tenth header? What now? Go and unlock Owen Coyles table tennis gear?

Sadly OM, this whole situation is getting really out of hand. I haven’t heard of the 10 heads rule but surely that can’t possibly apply to professional football without totally destroying the whole fabric of the game. It’s not like we’re playing with the old leather Casey ball any more, they could hardly get any lighter. Every facet of life is now under threat from the pressure groups who feel they have the right to tell us what to eat, think or do. It’s been getting that way for years but it seems to be accelerating rapidly, assisted by a woke “Conservative” government, who are more liberal and left wing than any in my living memory. Maggie T must be turning in her grave? As I’ve said before on here in similar discussion, get used to it because there is nowhere you can go to stop them. BoJo and Rishi, proved they’re certainly not recently by backing down from their original decision not to isolate. I just shake my head and let them get on with it because the battle against woke is lost I’m afraid.

Its in training, 10 a week.
And Whites they're saying because the ball is so light it travels so much faster. (Shall they make it heavy again then?)
I'm for investigating and letting players know thier findings but dont tell grown men they cant do thier jobs.
Think they've outlawed it altogether for U16s. Which is all fine until 16 turns to a YTS and has no ability to head the ball and head it correctly.

Ooom I’m under the impression it’s 10 headers max per training session, not per week, that means theoretically that they could do 3 training sessions per week = 30 headers, then a game comes up and they head another 10 (defenders) Total = 40 (theoretically) that’s not going to help their young heads!! Am I wrong with that?

Its definitely 10 per any training week.
So 2 a day.
And ive yet to hear an interview with anyone in football who will call out this nonsense.
And I dont mean because they all agree, just mean they arent giving any air time for this.
Any manager must be perplexed by this. Many will just be getting thier squads assembled and now they need to sub in and out thier strikers/centre backs every 3rd cross maybe
