that's to replace former Saint Kayne Ramsay who has just left. Harrogate have done a bit of business over the last year with Saints, seems a bit strange for a small club in North Yorkshire, Ramsay, Olaigbe, now Abu. i wonder what links the two together???

You could say the same about Katie Hopkins. Before SOG started banging on about her the last i remember hearing about her was about 10 years ago when she made a tit of herself on This Morning to lovely Holly for slagging off people who call their kids names of places when she's got a kid herself called India. SOG however references her endlessly like she's some sort of voice of the right wing and everyone hangs onto her every word. Very odd indeed.

see in your deluded little mind that's what you think. You think you're getting under peoples skin, you think "calling out" people a Southampton football forum is some incredible act of virtue and bravery. Sadly for you the huge majority of people across many forums look upon you as a joke figure and laugh at you.

wow, an entire thread just so you could boast you're going to New Zealand next year.

i did already as couldn't fit Duckhunter in

As someone who doesnt go around deliberately seeking things to get angry about so we can preach about it on a football forum the answer to that would be no.

indeed a bit of gratitude might be nice once in a while

facts dont lie pal

Im kind of with you, As the guy said only 1% of kids are actually autistic, most people exhibit 3 of 12 traits, a bit of bad parenting, lack of discipline, too much sugar not enough exercise and you can see how you can quickly show another 2-3. For some it's a convenient excuse/label Another thing he said which kind of contradicted the view on ADHD which was interesting was that he said and i agree, focus needs to be taught, you dont just have it. One of the main traits of ADHD is lack of attention, so it doesn't take a genius to work out if kids aren't be taught it by the parents at a young age it's no surprise when they get older they lack attention on things they aren't interested in.

It was mainly based around coaching at football. Clear simple instructions simple language, speak slowly. No slang or acronyms, like asking them to play CDM for example. Take a touch was another one,instead say something like get it under control - for most kids take a touch would mean controlling it, for a kid with Autism taking a touch could mean booting it as far away as they can, they've taken a touch and they've done what you asked but not what you meant. Give time out warnings, for example if you're refereeing if a player starts to get wound up during a game take them to one side and ask them if they need to come off for a bit to calm down, if they say no then tell them that next time they behave like that they will be, apparently this works very well If they're behaving impulsively give them 30 seconds, let them boot balls away charge around for a bit, be strict on the time, ie 30 seconds to do what you want, that apparently gives them enough time and space to get it out of the system Ask them to help you demonstrate an activity to the rest of the group during a coaching session, rather than watch you do it. Select positions for them that suit their character, for example he said an Autistic kid is better off as a striker because they can be quite selfish, clear instructions, not got to think about tracking back know what they have to doetc, whereas ADHD tend to be better in midfield as they are more involved in the game and have other players in front of them or behind them for support. Quite a few others bits too, i found it very interesting.

100% hit rate says otherwise pal

As i mentioned last night i attended a session run by the local FA for football coaches to help deal with kids with needs. The guy running it was a doctor with 23 years experience in this field and is also a grass roots coach. I have to say that it was absolutely fascinating and eye opening as to the range of conditions and symptoms. The main points i took away were For an autism or ADHD diagnosis a person has to display 6 out 12 behaviours/symptoms, the average person will display 2-3 of them, some people is certain employment fields such as science, working with numbers and so on will display 4 Autism is in 1% of children, kids who dont have it can often display the same characteristics of autism but it can be down to a whole range of other factors, including parental neglect as a young child. He also spoke at length about the Romanian orphanage case study where all the kids displayed autism characteristics but when they were put with a loving family the symptoms went away in many. however many had further issues in later life as the social skills werent there that you build from parents interaction. ADHD is more prevalent, cant remember the exact figure but think it was 5% Kids with one or both conditions can also display physical signs, like walking on tip toes and other things He also gave us some very good tips on how to deal with kids with these conditions, which was also very interesting and a few things i've never even thought of doing. Also explains why some of the teachers do certain things with kids in class when they cause problems If you get the chance to attend anything like it it's a good use of a couple of hours.

Quite the day for @Farmer Saint about to be inducted to the CoT and opening the welcome letter to the usual suspects.

Few things need to fall into place for this one. But you never know

Your application is awaiting final approval excellent work you will make a fine member

good luck to him, seems a really nice lad and is going to be a good player. Juventus are one of the glamour names in European football so cant blame him. It was clear early on Martin didnt rate him or trust him so probably best move for everyone.

3 rules only deal with friends of ours Loose lips sink ships beware of false prophets

hey farmer, at the moment you're a friend of mine, but keep this up you'll become a friend of ours.

As i've been warning since December #bewareoffalseprophets

No need Dave. Quick Fact check above You can add Brooks - called by platinum member CB Fry in December ✅ Alcarez called by Frannies Tache and me earlier this month ✅ 100% accuracy. The CoT is more accurate than an optical lattice clock

At risk of being accused of only backing up the usual suspects you're right. If he leaves we are one Adam Armstrong injury away from having to start Mara every week who doesn't look anywhere near ready, or perhaps even good enough. Huge risk when promotion is so tight.

Sogs problem is that on the rare occasions he does make a good point his post is usually littered with a load of right wing, trump supporting bollocks every other word. Plus he's also been caught our bullshitting on numerous occasions and then there are the personal attacks and name calling if you disagree. It's no wonder no one takes him as seriously as he takes himself.

Conversely if you say another at that doesn't align 100% with Sogs view of the world prepare for the Tommy Robinson/Katy Hopkins/Trump supporting right wing racist narcissist barrage of abuse that's coming your way. What a helmet.

we already have for the one who is definitely going
