This sort of nonsense is really beginning to worry me. It's not just in sport, it's getting out of hand everywhere. Teachers can't comfort a sick or distressed child with an arm round the shoulder, nor can Youth Leaders. My daughter, Nik, broke all the rules, recently, when a brand new Brownie was howling and sobbing at her first meeting. Nik (mother of an 8 year old) gave the child a cuddle, to calm her down, and, thank goodness, the mother was grateful and not complaining. She shouldn't have done it, though, it's "not allowed".

What worries me is how much further all this is going. We've already had a case of "indecency" when a mother photographed her daughter in the bath, now adults and children can't play football together as they might have bodily contact. What next?
