TBH I'd prefer Sam Tomkin's wrist slapping my forehead then Stevie Gerrard sliding across the floor for 10 foot and smashing my ankle with his studs. I can't believe some of the football players can walk let alone play on after watching some of the slo mo replays.

Sometimes RL players look softer than football players when they are throwing themselves down at the play the ball to milk a penalty.

You've given two very extreme examples that don't really support the argument; for example, I'd prefer FuiFui MoiMoi tickling my ar5e with a feather, than PeeWee Herman stamping on my testicles. What does that prove?



I can't agree; footballers are pansies - fact.

A lot of what you post is spot on.........that is total rubbish



They might not all be in the mould of Peacock or Morley etc........but to label ALL Footballers as pansies is just stupid or trying to provoke a reaction???? - fact

Truth be told, a bit of both; I'm not a fan of the game and I abhor the type of role models it produces for our youth, so I'm not a good source of insightful or intellectual debate on the subject.

And I still think they're pansies. Over-paid, over-indulged, over-rated pansies at that!

And if you'd said 'most'....i would agree

Just not ALL





Some set a good example, just most don't.

need some help from my fellow wakefield fans.

is there any fairs or anything on in the wakefield area at the moment?
that would be suitable for an autistic child??

need to take my foster brother out and i know he enjoys them.

Mods, if this is not something you want on here please feel free to remove it not wanting to upset people just after some information.

cheers guys and gals

Moved it to the chat thread - you can post all O/T stuff in here mate

cheers pal..... take it you dont know of one though

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't. I don't even know if there's such a thing as an autistic child-friendly fair, tbh, but if your foster brother likes fairs in general, where's the problem (other than finding [ia [/ifair, of course)?

"Horbury Gala 27th June" fella, lived in Horbury most of my life but I don't think I've ever attended, sounds like a hell of a lot going on though this year by all accounts!

I attended a few in my childhood days, seemed good from what I could remember. Queen Street closed to traffic, good choice of stalls, bouncy castle in front of the church. Although that said, my dad used to work at Pegasus Youth Club and sometimes volunteered to be on the stalls, can't exactly which stall though?

Bet its change massively since then...
