    Years ago, I was on a flight from Santiago to Antofagasta in Chile. Big Mick was managing Ireland then in the World Cup. It was in the days when there were several TVs in the ceiling, rather than individual screens. An interview came on with Big Mick. I think I was the only one who understood him, and that included the English speaking American I was traveling with, never mind all the Spanish speaking passengers.

    Hope they don't extend the identification of brain irregularities to the private sector and substitute us as I'd be fk*ced.

    They could look at making the ball a little less aerodynamic so it slows down more mid air, taking some of the impact out of it. They've spent the past four decades or so making it fly faster.

    A good project for Adidas to work on so they can debut the results at a World Cup with only Germany having played and acclimatised to it.
