If it genuinely led to potential health risks, then this shouldn't even be an issue.
Nobody should purposely put themselves at long-term risk, if it can actually be avoided.

For £100k a week I’ll head a football.
Not like they used to be either are they?
I’d get in the ring with Anthony Joshua for silly money as well.

I didn't need to know that
If you ban heading, you'd have no rework corners and every goal kick would be those high risk low reward faffing about at the back ones. Wingers would also be affected as crosses would need to be different.
Leave it well alone imo
Ban it. Get teams to actually try and play the game properly. Also would mean the likes of Burnley will feck off for good

Aye but it’s be classy like pretty woman
I'd sooner see players wear headbands than ban heading from the game.
Depends if the players would agree to wear them I guess.
Fellaini trying to wear a Petr Cech style hat would be pretty funny tbf.
Ignoring the health issues, how would this work for the actual game? No more small teams trying to get some sort of advantage against better technical teams by getting big guys into the box. Parking the bus becomes much easier as the centre of the pitch becomes more compact. Etc.

His head isn't actually that big. It's mostly hair and air between the hair the creates the volume. I don't think he would have as much trouble as you make out to be completely honest with you Mike.

There'd be almost no point in corners, or crossing the ball.

Fair point well made.
Would he squish his hair right down (which could cause discomfort and upset his game), or have really long chin straps so his cap can sit atop his hair?

He doesn't actually have an afro anymore Mike so it's a pointless discussion. Can we just move on from it please?

I didn't know that, and no, I'll come back another time with a different example once I've looked at the current haircuts of all pro footballers.

Football would probably look a lot like Futsal!
The studies into CTE in the NFL (and also NHL) saw that the use of helmets actually contributed to the problem. In that when there is impact to the head, the brain 'bounces' off the inside of the skull, (imagine shaking a fish in a goldfish bowl). Both sports are considerably more physical than football.
I think you're right regarding football (at elite level) however, as the push back from fans and stakeholders alike would make it difficult to ban heading outright.

Hamza Choudhury has already Tweeted his concern regarding Robbs skullcap sugestion.
This nonsense comes into force. Then they will have to ban boxing Ufc rugby ect..
their trying too ban the poppy and then next santa because its offensive too muslim's weve had ENOUGH
Total sh!te!
I get the players from the 50’ & 60’s are having problems now but they used to head a football that was heavier than Gemma Collins and that’s before it got wet!
The balls nowadays are lighter than fack!

Whilst that is (weight of football) true, studies have established the weight isn't the real cause of CTE.
It is the consistent heading the ball (30/50k times) over the average career which scientists claim cause the damage.
