Aouachria and Sarpong-Wiredu extend their contracts

Was quite impressed with Sarpong-Wiredu when I saw him in the Checkatrade Trophy game v Swansea U21 and when he came on in the FA Cup replay v Mansfield. Can definitely see him featuring next season.

What has happened to Wassim Aouachria? I did not notice his name in any of the pre-season friendlies. Is he injured or unwell, or has he left the club?

Injured I believe

poor bugger, hope we give him another year post injury to prove himself

We're just getting too many of those types of injury at the moment

Kennedy | Clarke | Forster-Caskey | Aouachria, surely cant be right within the game in general?

Could be modern boots or could be the increase in use of the 3g pitches at training grounds or a combination of both of these and players not doing their own training to stabilise joints in the gym.

I heard a rumour that JFC's was not caused playing football...and that horseplay was to blame

3G, modern boots - both considered to be at fault but it could be any number of things.  I'd never heard of an ACL until Gazza did his and then it got named..maybe historic "knee injury" was actually a ruptured ACL and nobody had given it a name.  A bit like ADHD....when I was a kid there were kids that were just dicks but nowadays they have to label everything so ADHD was created.

Kids who had special educational needs didn't get any real support back in the past. It obviously was simpler just to label them 'dicks' but it didn't really help them.

We can pretend conditions like autism, dyslexia, ADHD etc don't exist and save a lot of money in the process.

I'm not saying they don't exist but there are some children that were just naughty.  

I'm aware the other conditions exist and are labelled and rightly so - but nowadays there are a lot more kids acting like dicks and a lot of it comes down to crap parenting and not ADHD

Attitudes like this show a lack of understanding and knowledge on the condition and the history of which it has been around. The first acknowledgment of it was back in 1952. However, it wasn’t included in the DSM until it’s second edition in 1968. Treatments and understanding of medicines and conditions were still very much in its infancy.

We are now at DSM 5, the criteria for diagnosis of mental health and psychological disorders, the latest edition was published in 2013. Understanding conditions and disorders are developing all the time. Of course there are poor parents out in society but the diagnosis of conditions such as ADHD isn’t just, “That kid is a bit naughty, they have ADHD.” There is a process which is followed.

Attitudes like the one you have shown don’t help anything and only shows complete ignorance to it. But I suppose ‘nowadays they have to label everything’ so on your basis, I label you as a dick.

Feel free to come back with whatever you may wish, but until you have studied it extensively and understand the mental health related well-being of people, don’t bother.

You clearly know all there is to know and must therefore be right. There are no such thing as naughty kids.

Not sure what you’re getting at because I’ve clearly said there are poor parents in society which in turn would mean there are naughty kids. But saying everything nowadays needs a label and that is how ADHD is created is clearly wrong and shows ignorance.

I don’t claim to know everything there is to know about it, but I certainly know more about the psychological and mental health related disorders, conditions and well-being than you. Even if it’s from the attitude you have shown, not from what I know personally.
