    The Best Thing About St Andrews

    Probably more suited to the match thread, but i thought the ref HELPED the atmosphere. We were united against him rather than people getting on the players' backs for not getting stuck-in! A point was a great result - but was so close to being all 3 towards the end. Bit confusing with two sets...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    The traditional rugby towns & cities have solid fan bases and there is massive appetite for the game. I'm thinking of Gloucester, Leicester, Northampton, Bath and Bristol. Chuck in Quins too. But anyone remotely nomadic or yo-yo (Saracens, Worcester, Newcastle, Irish and dear W*sps) just haven't...

    Heading Banned.

    It's from association studies rather than causation, along the lines of bacon sandwiches causing bowel cancer, which is patently not proven, and date from the use of the heavier ball. I'm afraid i am (as a research scientist) always dubious about interpretation of this kind of data. Sorry.

    ... or a wannabe centre-back challenging a centre-forward for an incoming free kick (yes, i have heard that sometime happens at other clubs!)

    Even with the so-called "protective" headgear that kids and amateurs have to wear, the impact is far greater than a 410-450g football. They need to be taught how to head properly, or they are going to suffer a higher risk of injury when they are faced with heading the ball later on.

    Starts again tonight, according to a colleague. Never watched it myself - don't think i have the right platform!

    And yet the media still endorse the continual, far more severe percussive risk from boxing?

    Didn't people get their cars done on Emmeline St, just off St Andrews?

    A call to Arms !!!

    My first night game on Tuesday. Can anyone suggest the best place to park where the car isn't going to get vandalised (no distinguishing features like COV reg plate!)? Little Green Lane area, maybe? Ta in advance.

    What are Rotherham thinking

    Don't forget that we have lost the fewest league games of any side in England other than Liverpool, but they will try to boss McCallum the way they did Mason. Our CB3 will need to avoid having one of their "off" days. How many times did they give it away cheaply yesterday?? Can't happen against...

    The Stranger

    Stuck with it, and it turned out quite gripping with some interesting twists. Thought the perpetrator had something to do with the disappearance (affair, etc) but wasn't expecting it to turn out the way it did. I don't think the stuff with the kids contributed to the main plot, so could have...
