So Gordon Brown , who - a fellow-'blogger reminded me -  lost the sight in one eye after being kicked during a school rugby match wants there to be much more competitive sports games in schools - That's brilliant for the pupils who want to take part but there should be alternatives for those who do not .
I was absolutely terrible at football at my 'junior school' , just did'nt have a clue and did not want to play it or enjoy it in the slightest , and at another school that I was breifly at had the indignity of always being the last one chosen to be in the teams for basketball which I was similarly hopeless at , and , being made to go cross-country running - May not have done me any harm but certainly did'nt do me any good either .
At another school I did'nt so much mind volleyball , except if having ones foot accidentally landed on by the teacher .
