Yes to all. Not running is difficult for a while. Takes some getting used to.

Refs need to be sterner with blue cards. We have serial runners over our side. Needs sorting. A worldwide unified set of rules would be good too. What they play here in Spain and at FIFA is very different to what is played in Perth.

Do your power walking stints help, with regards to walking football? - ensuring you don't break out into a mild jog?

Seems you don't think enough pal.

He's about 3,600 kms away from Perth.

"Where have you been?"

"I told you it was an away match"

"Four fucking days!"

Hadn't considered it but they probably do!

It's like owt else matey. The more you do it, the better you get at it. You might become a reet Nostradamus in a few decades.

Being sprung for running at Walking Football hasn't happened to me for a good few years now.

Aren't you 20 years too young, and lacking in the required plumpness to "play" (and I use that word very loosely) walking football?
