@naedanger @alexmassie @iainmartin1 Have you tried getting on to an apprenticeship in plumbing or joinery lately? They are rare and incredibly competitive. As a minimum you are going to need good grades at GCSE maths and English plus 3 other GCSE

@smsmith70 @alexmassie @iainmartin1 Yes! Plumbing and joinery and building trades and electricians no longer exist here today in the year 3026! Let's go, to infinity and beyond!

I'm pretty sure that 43% of pupils do not in fact need additional support but that we have instead, as in other areas, expanded & lowered the criteria for eligibility so it seems as though 43% of kids need this. You could easily create a scenario in which 70% do too.

43% of Scottish pupils need extra support. The SNP cut it anyway. Scottish Labour will fund 1,500 more classroom assistants - including 300 for ASN - so no child is left behind. The choice in May: more of the same, or a better future for our kids.

@daviesGDD To be fair, I did 10 years Dad coaching and looking back now I would only be happy with the last 2 years. I think most clubs would love to be approached with some coach education. It was the @TheMagicAcad guys the turned me around

@smsmith70 You'd think not, right? I've just had a live experience. I'd dearly love to be able to help the coaches (& the clubs) to make simple tweaks to their delivery that would have a really positive impact.

🧵5 Things that are alive and well at rugby clubs that I wish weren't (+ simple fixes!) ❌ Long lines of kids waiting to have a go (+ coaches getting frustrated that players 'aren't concentrating' ✔️ Break them into smaller groups & spread the coaches across the groups

❌ Auckland Grids (running forwards, passing forwards then joining....a queue) ✔️ Use passing lanes, short/long drills, groups of 3 or 4 passing races over 10m. Play 3v1/4v2 games in small spaces. Develop the skills they need in the game!

@MarkPalmerST The maddening inconsistency both week to week and even within games is a massive indictment of coaching. This team capable of beating a full strength Toulon for goodness sake. The SRU absolutely MUST revisit the Everitt decision

@TonyJWheat @john_keim Jags v AN Other at Spurs then Jags v Commanders at Wembley followed by Commanders v AN Other at Spurs. Both teams are in London for 2 Sundays

@smsmith70 @john_keim Don’t think that really works though if the games are played on successive weeks. Whoever is the home team first at Spurs would then have to wait 2 weeks to play at Wembley.

@smsmith70 Not what I’m hearing. Hard to imagine since both their home games at Tottenham. Hard to see nfl having Wash play one as a home team and one as a road team in same stadium.

@PTSport123 @stephenjones9 There is no such thing in Law 12 as a “quick” restart following a score and no requirement to use the same ball mentioned.

If that was a quick restart?? Then ball was changed. Try should not have stood.

@TEnglishSport Really don’t understand the decision to keep Everitt. I can only assume he is cheap. Other than occasional flashes (like Toulon) he hasn’t been able to move the squad on or get the best out of some very talented players

With only two professional teams the SRU can’t have one of them being a lame duck. Humiliated by Bath tonight. Genuinely terrible decision by Alex Williamson and David Nucifora to give Sean Everitt two more years. Staggering and lazy

@Type1Tony @GBDocInfo Yeah, tried Fiasp for almost 2 years but when you are already high it does nothing. Back on NovoRapid now. It’s taken a while but much better now
