Re: Driving Eye Tests

I'm 72 and have no issue with tests for the over 70's or lower, but would like to see a broader range of enforcement measures to improve road safety which targets dangerous driving usually by younger demographics.

RIP Willie. No one scored a goal with greater joy. When you got your goal to match Andy's five? I was so relieved. My memories as a youngster were watching you train down at Gawthorpe.

Re: Egan-Riley

CJ excelled in ST's defensive system where he had more time than he will get elsewhere. We will probably never know if he would have improved to EPL defence standards at both ends from defending set pieces and scoring at the other end. Genuinely prefer Michael Keane.
