I have to admit H & T are a class apart and I admire them and would love to test myself against these class players, and see how much I still have to learn football wise!

But I have one question. How the hell did Real Playerz get into the premiership? You lot really messed up this time. Blackburn Catering in the third division? Wasn't it supposed to be the other way round?

And teams in the community league playing each other once?

WE SAY: Real Playerz wanted to play in the Premier league and they are a good (although inexperienced) side. The problem we sometimes have is teams registering their clubs days before the league kicks off. Plus some teams prefer to play on particular days. With regards to the Friday league we had too many teams and only so many pitches. It did stop the argument some clubs come up with regarding which division they should have been put in.

I wanted to ask what happened to the level of discipline in some of the local tournaments. I've played in quite a few and I see players getting away with a lot more. Have referees gone soft? Sometimes I get the impression the referees don't like certain players and then make their life miserable.

I try my best to listen to what referees have to say but sometimes it's just stupid decisions and that's what makes some of us angry. If they were consistent then everything would be OK but they are not. I know it's a difficult job but what happened to common sense.

WE SAY: Referees are human and all of us make mistakes. Everyone complains about them but all players (professional and amateur) know that having an argument with a referee gets you nowhere. Such is life. So try concentrating on the game for a change and let your feet do the talking. When we get TV cameras and action replays down at Witton we'll be able to judge them better!

Regarding the article 'Keeping politics out of football'. I wanted to say it was pretty silly getting protestors down just because teams had Muslim sounding names at that tournament held in the US. If it was the other way round and teams had names with derogatory terms about Muslims I don't think anyone would have said anything. Football should be about football and nothing else but even here I've seen players with Osama on their back. People take it as a joke.

It was great to read about the tournament in Audley last month where youngsters got together in the spirit of football. If they start playing at that age and then they grow up knowing everyone is the same regardless of their colour and religion.
