I am thoroughly fed up with the number of adverts for gambling on tv, especially during sports coverage. Gambling companies are just leaches sucking money from the public and causing significant harm to the vulnerable while bringing zero benefit. It has got worse in recent years, both with the volume of betting companies and adverts and with the tone of the adverts implying that gamblers are making investments. They have also invented ever more ways of parting the unwary from their hard earned cash, with in play betting being particularly dangerous. Unfortunately, advertising does have an effect, as it normalises gambling. I too know recovering addicts and the gambling companies do nothing to help those they have harmed. it pains me to see an gambling company name on a saints shirt.

https://www.nhs.uk/news/neurology/dementia-fears-for-former-footballers/ A discussion on the study and what it means can be found here. While it was true that professional footballers had a 3.5 times risk of neurodegenerative disease, only a small proportion were affected. There was no difference observed between goalkeepers and outfield players. Ex-footballers were 5 times as likely to be prescribed medication for Alzheimer’s as non-footballers, but goalkeepers had a lower incidence than outfield players.

I remember being at that game in a period when it was difficult to be a Saints fan, especially if you were going to games. If I remember it correctly, Rod Wallace was brought down needlessly by the goalkeeper when he was well on the way to racing out of the area at full speed. Neil Ruddock then blasted in the penalty and we managed to save the season from there.

That type of weather counts as a fine summer day up here

Perhaps we should get rid off Danny Ings now then, as he is obviously well past his best.

100,000km flying in a year isn’t that excessive - especially in first class as a premier league player. A couple of year ago, I flew more than 90,000 miles in 7 months Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

In Scotland, if you can cover it it batter, it can be deep fried: Mars bar, Bounty, pizza, sausages, black pudding - the list is endless. I must admit that I have yet to see smoked salmon dipped in batter and deep fried. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I also live in Scotland and survive on malt whisky (preferably from Islay), smoked salmon, Aberdeen Angus steak, scallops and langoustines. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Actually, assuming we have an equal chance of finishing in each position and 20 teams in the league, he has only a 46% chance of being wrong every year for 15 years. So, it is just more likely than not to be right at least once. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks. It's working for me as well.

I can't get any sound either

Still not working for me

Actually, that will be 1 goal every 3.3 games, if all 3 are playing at the same time. So, about 12 goals between them in a season. Last season they scored 10 in the league (Redmond 7, Tadic 3). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ouch. I had the same with a lumbar disc. That can take several weeks to settle down. I assume it might be the same for your neck. I first damaged my back 25 years ago and I still have problems several times per year, including 2 weeks off work last month. Hopefully, you won't have the longer term problems. I have also injured my neck and in some ways that can be worse, as it can be very difficult to get to sleep. I hope you feel better soon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Bertrand corner from the right. Unmarked Fonte scored.

Merry Christmas from Aberdeenshire. We have a chance of a white Christmas or Boxing Day here.

If we have won 19 of 38 games, surely that is a win percentage of 50%?

Lies, damn lies and statistics. It is easy to select isolated figures that agree with your view. It does not mean that those numbers in any way support your argument.
