BFTD Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Uh-oh. Hopefully Mulraney's moving our hoard of riches into Swiss bank accounts even as we speak. Harry94 - you sure it's not a different type of rubbers that you've been guzzling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Second Andy Goram Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Well one type might. http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-huge-scandals-happening-right-now-weve-been-ignoring_p2/ (Scroll down to number 5) A bunch of high school and college level players are getting cancer in America and the majority are keepers and they've all spent most their lives playing on 'crumb rubber' astroturf. A worrying trend. Played on this every lunchtime in school for 5 years. f**k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Former Aberdeen strike Arild Stavrum wrote a book a couple of years ago, decent crime fiction called "Exposed at the Back". That book mentioned the link between recycled tyres and the long term effects. A quick google turned up this article where he talks about it.

Sergeant Wilson Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 When I play on a astro I've noticed I'm slow, can't turn, I lose all spatial awareness and can't judge distances or speed of the ball. I'm just glad we have some sort of explanation for it all now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I slipped and slide tackled a guy on it by mistake last night and ended up face down on it. Then the guy in question landed his full weight on top of my head and my face got buried/scraped along it. Been picking the rubber bits out my skin for about 12 hours. May need a skin graft.

JamboMikey Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Maybe that's why FIFA wanted the Women's World Cup held astroturf pitches. Get rid of that sorry excuse for football once and for all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
