It's a difficult one mate. The fact is the benefits to doing boxing far outweigh the risks .The discipline ,fitness , self esteem ,respect for others etc are all obvious. It is also less dangerous than other sports.Many a boxer would never cycle on the road or play rugby yet are happy to spar anybody in the squared circle. It is all about learning defence as anybody can throw a punch but you have to be taught the art of defence ; footwork ,slipping , blocking and if needed holding. If you or you boy feel this is inadequate in his present gym then you should find another gym. Also mate tell your boy never be afraid to say no to sparring or fighting a particlur opponent . Boxing his all about levels and experience and there is no shame in your boy saying he is not ready for that task at the moment.

By gollum BBC Scotland's Chris McLaughlin The Scottish Football Association will consider changes to refereeing and disciplinary procedures, including proposals to introduce officials from overseas. It follows a heated meeting between the SFA, the compliance officer and the 12 Scottish Professional Football League premiership clubs on Monday. BBC Scotland understands an agreement was reached for an SPFL working party to look at fundamental change and report back with proposals. These could be introduced as early as next season. A number of clubs expressed concern about the standards of refereeing and are in favour of increasing the pool of grade one referees by calling on officials from England, Wales or even further afield. There was also much debate around the issue of compliance, with most clubs in agreement that the current system needs to change. Stewart Robertson says SFA disciplinary system needs addressing Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson said on Tuesday that Scottish football is "re-refereeing" games under the present disciplinary system. "That is placing intolerable pressure on the referees, which places pressure on the compliance system and disciplinary system," he added. Clare Whyte took over as compliance officer from Tony McGlennan in August to become the third person to hold the post. The duty of the role is to oversee the judicial and disciplinary process at the Scottish FA. Referees feel under threat - analysis Clubs questioning the standard of refereeing in Scottish football is nothing new - it happens to varying levels most years but this year it feels different. Not since 2010 has there been such focus on the failings of officials. Back then referees felt undermined to such a level that they withdrew their services. Foreign officials stepped in until the dispute was resolved. Could the talk of foreign officials force similar action almost a decade later? It could if the SPFL and the referees can't find common ground. There's little doubt the men in the middle feel under threat. Some clubs will now try to convince them that foreign help could actually be a benefit. It will be a hard sell in a pretty tense and often toxic landscape.

Barry Hearn has made a Jeremy Hunt of it.

Tommy Burns , when he became manager in 1994 , wanted Cairney back . Why would he do so given that he must have known about the 1991 allegations against Cairney. When Burns started playing for the tarriers he remained a close friend of Hugh Stevenson the serial child sex abuser and SFA referee/linesman, having met him as a boy at Eastercraigs A.F.C. around 1969/70.

Could end up in a pub league.

Alfie should only leave us to go to Barca / Real Madrid or one of the top 6 English sides.

He is as good as Louis Suarez was at the same age.

Hope it is done and dusted and he doesn't have grounds to drag us through a tribunal or the courts.

This is making The Sun look stupid as clearly no Rangers fan gives a fuck what religion any of our players are.
