Shrewsbury are the first club to trial safe standing. Good for them.

Good stuff, I think we need someone to lead the way on it and show that rail seating can be perfectly safe. A lower club is a good start!

Celtic have shown it's perfectly safe already. Their standing section is immense.

Luton goalie retires after suffering depression. It's good that mental health issues are becoming accepted more and more. It wouldn't have been that long ago he'd have been told to pull himself together

[Paddingtonwolf]

It still happens now. Buffoons like Alan Brazil still come out with exactly that stuff.

 

[YoungWolf]

Agree, Steven Caulker has come out today about his own mental health too. Need people to keep breaking down these barriers

Having depression without being a public figure is difficult enough. I can't imagine the added stress of being a professional footballer on top of that.

Very brave of them to come out and speak about their struggles.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Over 70 fan-group delegates at the FSF AGM have voted in favour of a Sun boycott.

The motion was brought forward by the Liverpool led 'total eclipse of The Sun' campaign and seconded by the Everton delegate.

I'd love to see the look on that horrible old bastards face if all clubs followed supporter lobbying and banned them.

I reckon Jeff Shi is the same..

 

[The Bear]

Michael Appleton. Find a shirt that fits FFS. He looks like he's just broken out of prison and killed the bloke behind him.

 

[Langers]

:icon_lol:

 

[Tony Towner]

That's a first day of training deliberate low level attempt at intimidation

 

[PuntsWolf]

It does fit...

 

[lemonjelly]

terry's press conference for his villa signing seems to be about him wanting to manage chelsea one day...

 

[Freddeno]

Personally i would prefer John Terry to Danny Batth

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

I knew Jeff Hendrick was in court on assault charges, but didnt realise the severity of the attack. Shocking stuff.

The taxi driver sounds like a right cunt too.

 

[Tony Towner]

Unless the attack is caught on CCTV he'll get off as the victim doesn't know who exactly carried out the attack. The taxi driver should be charged with being an accomplice

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Another Irish footballer in an assault charge.
