... but it did!
a while back, in disbelief, i posted this...

... well, even though my boy is in the process of joining the local rugby club, who's training i am very impressed with, he wants to see the football season out.
so after the last match, that prompted my original thread, once again against said team where they were this time deliberately going in studs up at ankles in tackles, and in one instance, if front of their parents, kicked a kid who was on the ground i really did'nt think it could get worse.
it did.
today, a kid took a knock. turned round jumped on the offending player. wrestled him to the ground and, no joke, put his arm around his neck and tried to strangle him!
gets better... it was in front of his parents who did nothing.
seriously, if this is grass roots fotball and these kids are allowed by parents and the ref to do this what hope is there!
