					<description><![CDATA[Thanks for your comment, Barry.

You make a very good point. The study didn&#039;t say why the link might exist and, as you say, children aren&#039;t heading the ball very often in their matches. That&#039;s the main reason why the FA haven&#039;t done anything yet. It&#039;s also why some of the criticism surrounding the decision pushed for children to be taught how to do it properly and safely. It looks as though the FA will need more information and to look at other aspects of the game before they change anything.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have no idear what they are on about but the way they are putting it like every time you head a football you have a problem.  In games the children only head a ball in most cases maybe 1 or 2 a game at junior level some of the children dont head it at all. The problem is not junior football. The profesional teams have to chalenge for all balls and in a lot of cases they hit the other person verry hard so not suprizing they get hurt. But they get paid to chalenge for the ball so if they went in like fairies they would get an early move to another club. At junior level we dont hardly see clashes I watched our U14s last week and 12 headers in the game and only one was chalenged by the oposition the rest were good headers to clear the ball by the defence most of the time the ball is kept on the ground which is what we teach them. But it is not the ball that dose the damage it is head on head and that dont come till the move to the higher levels where the chalenge is total comitment.]]></description>
