    It takes a strong person..

    impossible to say that. if the goal had been allowed who knows what would have happened. we over stretched ourselves in the second half looking for the equaliser and got punished.

    Why kids have no respect.

    not all kids are the same, but i do agree the internet and the hugh amount of dross on tv (especially the american garbage) does have a major influenence. The biggest influence is peer pressure from other kids and you cant be there 24 hours a day for it. Theres also that thing called being a...
