Harry “H” Francis passed away just a few weeks ago aged 101. One of the first members of the SBS.

I will be celebrating every time Dowman goes down easily and plays for free-kicks and penalties.
The FA have confirmed that this is the correct thing to do, as a genuine reaction will be punished as harshly as possible. Diving and playacting is now the only logical way to play.
Do you know what I found appalling
Grown men trying to attack a 16 year old kid on a football pitch
That’s all

This is really poor by @FA. The governing body is supposed to protect players. It should be disputing this regulatory commission verdict by members drawn from the FA judicial panel. Max Dowman could have suffered a bad injury to his standing leg from a dangerous challenge which went unpunished. Arsenal 16-year-old shouldn’t have reacted but his frustration was understandable. Some other players might have rolled around and ensured a bad challenge was punished. Dowman didn’t. He doesn’t stay down. The FA should have shown some understanding towards Dowman. Instead, it has suspended him for three games. FA priorities all wrong: tolerating a poor challenge and some weak refereeing but punishing a kid who objected to a bad challenge that could have dealt him a serious injury. Protect players. #AFC
Well done boys
Credit where Credit is due - Well done Lads
Three schoolboys, just 12, 13 and 14, acted heroically by stopping to help a stranger in distress on their way home.
Shawn Young, Devonte Cafferkey and Sammy Farah were walking home from St Mary’s High School in Cheshunt when they spotted a man in distress on an overpass in Waltham Cross.
Devonte and Sammy grabbed the man’s arms as he edged towards the edge. Shawn shouted for help and waved at passing motorists.
Two passersby quickly rushed over to help hold the man until emergency services arrived. Later, the boys were honoured by the Royal Humane Society for their bravery.
As Devonte put it: "We could not have lived with ourselves if we had kept walking."
