[Big Joe]

Ive just logged back on for the sake of Russthemink. Here is a case study for you Russ.
1974 I'm playing rugby for the school. Its cold wet and muddy. I'm the ball carrier, go into a tackle, and offload the ball game moves on. Pick myself up run on. Whistle goes. I'm blood subbed. My right incisor tooth has been knocked out in the tackle. ( Never found it ) spent five minutes on the touch line biting on cotton wool then back on. We lost by the way. After the match got the bus home alone. Blackburn to Accy. Got home. Mum is annoyed because my good looks have been spoilt, Dad gets home "should have got lower in the tackle son" End of. Fast forward same incident today.
I would have been taken off and a teacher would have taken me to A and E.
Having been assessed I would be offered trauma counselling.
The referee would be suspended as would the sports coach. The lad who tackled me would be arrested for assault.
An ambulance chasing parasite would contact my parents offering to sue the school for letting me play without a gum shield, putting me in harms way without adequate protection, and not calling a halt to the game to allow me to find my tooth. They would also seek huge compensation for my life changing facial disfigurement. My parents would be investigated by social services for failing to provide a gum shield and I may be taken into care because of their neglect. The school would spend thousands defending its actions but would be deprived of the sports coach until the issue was resolved several years later.
Do I still sound like the Monty Python sketch Russ?
