    In one sentence max, can you explain what Forrest Gump is meant to imply?

      Forrest Gump used to play American football. He cpuld run but was too stupid to know when to stop. The crowd had to lift up a sign telling him to stop running when he reached the end zone.

      I was referring to Madueke and his habit of running the ball out of play. It was an unkind reference.

        Why? It's not like rugby that if you run out the end of the goal zone bit without touching the ball down it doesn't count. No need to stop in their sport. It's a try as soon as they cross the line with the ball in their hands.

        But harsh on Noni. If you ask me what I see in my head when I think of Noni it's beating the guy near the goaline/box junction and cutting into the box looking for a diagonal cut-back.

        Really, who better do you think we'd get knowing there's no-one who's clearly better than B on the right {and if there was B wouldn't play 2nd fiddle} and they have the young doctor coming through.

        We're lucky to have him, not Sterling, Reiss, Will-I-Ain't etc

          Agreed. All this is very unfair and silly.

            Surely we are allowed to be silly?

            Unfair is a bigger conversation.

            Anyway, Edu is currently unemployed. I'd have him back tomorrow.

              You still haven't explained why he had to be told to stop once he'd crossed the try line with ball in hands. Or why they call it a touchdown when they don't. Or why they call it football when it isn't.
