:04:48. > :04:53.save lives? Absolutely. There is a screening programme in Italy that
:04:54. > :04:57.has been in progress for 30 years, where every single person between
:04:57. > :05:03.12 and 35 who participate in competitive sport needs to have an
:05:03. > :05:11.annual fitness test including an ECG. There death-rate have gone

:05:16. > :05:22.reduction. He has now been asked by the Football Association to look at
:05:22. > :05:28.their current screening procedures. I would say we should be in line
:05:28. > :05:35.with the recommendations by Uefa and Fifa or, and they recommend one
:05:35. > :05:39.screening every two years at least. A undercurrent FA procedures it is
:05:39. > :05:43.mandatory for all sixteen-year-old to have a thorough medical which
:05:43. > :05:49.involves screening. After that is his really up to each individual
:05:49. > :05:55.club as to how often it is done. The Professional Footballers'
:05:55. > :06:00.Association spends around �300,000 each year supporting the tests for
:06:00. > :06:05.sixteen-year-old, but recognises further screening can be costly.
:06:05. > :06:09.The errors are cost measure involved. Because it is not
:06:09. > :06:14.mandatory some clubs with times being hard, think it might be one
:06:14. > :06:19.step too far. But when you get a circumstance like this, I do think
:06:19. > :06:23.cost should be a factor, we are talking about the safety of a human
:06:23. > :06:28.being, never mind a footballer. That must be of paramount
:06:28. > :06:32.importance. The very elite top clubs do have screening in place by
:06:32. > :06:36.virtue of the type of sportsmen they have on an annual basis but
:06:36. > :06:45.there are other clubs in lower divisions who may only be screened
:06:45. > :06:51.once or twice in their entire career. But screening doesn't
:06:51. > :06:57.detect 100% of problems. And on Reid had had a medical at 16, and
:06:57. > :07:00.Fabrice Muamba had been repeatedly tested before his cardiac arrest.
:07:00. > :07:07.We will make sure everybody gets Greens who is eligible, but the
:07:07. > :07:12.real problem is it does not pick up everything. Anton's mother has
:07:12. > :07:20.campaigned to raise funds for screening clinics. An ECG costs
:07:20. > :07:24.just �35. The the obvious question is, should
:07:24. > :07:29.the FA make heart screening compulsory?
:07:29. > :07:36.I think so, when it comes to lives at stake. We have moved to a level
:07:36. > :07:41.with recent events over the last couple of weeks, it has given the
:07:41. > :07:48.football industry to scrutinise the actual area. I would agree, yes.
:07:48. > :07:54.He should be mandatory. Anton's mother said six months, I wouldn't
:07:54. > :07:58.disagree. In professional sport, the 92 clubs we have, their unique
:07:58. > :08:02.group of clubs, is that the heart muscle is being used on a day-to-
:08:02. > :08:08.day basis to the maximum. So you have to look after it like you do a
:08:08. > :08:15.hamstring or a calf or anything. I was just saying to Darren earlier
:08:15. > :08:18.Aston Villa have wonderful facilities, why not allow Walsall's
:08:18. > :08:22.youngsters or in the catchment area, some of the smaller clubs that
:08:22. > :08:25.cannot afford to be able to do that to go and have those cheques, use
:08:26. > :08:30.it every five or six months. It wouldn't cost Aston Villa anything
:08:30. > :08:33.extra. It is good communication between the clubs, and should be
:08:33. > :08:38.mandatory. The big issue for the lower league
:08:38. > :08:43.clubs for those tested at 16, if they stay at those clubs and don't
:08:43. > :08:46.play for their country, they will not get tested again. You have a
:08:46. > :08:51.situation whereby you sign a two- year contract, you have a medical,
:08:51. > :08:55.I only had an exercise ECG twice, at Liverpool and Aston Villa
:08:55. > :08:59.because they will be clubs, but you can quite easily have a four-year
:08:59. > :09:06.contract, resign and not have one for seven or eight years, it is not
:09:06. > :09:12.acceptable. A procedure needs to be set so once you do have want you
:09:12. > :09:16.updated every single year. Again, I look at the centre at St George's,
:09:16. > :09:23.they will have these particular facility available and it is up to
:09:23. > :09:27.the club's to get regularly checked. Interesting what happens now in the

:10:16. > :10:25.best yesterday as one did it has to Marshall. They did go ahead when
:10:25. > :10:29.this was set up. Cardiff's equaliser caved 12 minutes from

:10:50. > :10:57.
:10:57. > :11:02.looked like a team was going to win, when this equaliser was scored, the
:11:02. > :11:05.4th League goal of the season. Two minutes later a martial completed
:11:05. > :11:12.the turnaround with a spectacular shot which turned out to be the

:11:29. > :11:35.fast. We have got a few problems in terms of midfield player's
:11:35. > :11:39.availability at the moment. We will get through that. If the players
:11:40. > :11:48.showed the same spirit and application as they showed today,
:11:48. > :11:54.it bodes well. Derby are only five points off a
:11:54. > :12:01.place in the top six in their victory against Crystal Palace. It

:13:41. > :13:49.opponents have got a lot to play for. Brighton away at Reading at
:13:49. > :13:58.home. They have been the worst team in terms of form in March. They
:13:58. > :14:01.have won one game. They need to rejuvenate. Finally, Leicester.
:14:01. > :14:07.Gutsy performance against Hull at the weekend. Renewed hopes once
:14:07. > :14:15.again. What about those? They are all tough, a local derby against
:14:15. > :14:19.Forest. Burley, never easy. West Ham, the good thing is looking
:14:19. > :14:22.through this that earlier one in March they have scored 13 goals in
:14:22. > :14:26.six games, no problems about them moving forward but they have
:14:26. > :14:36.conceded too many. If you can get the defence right they have got the
:14:36. > :14:38.
:14:38. > :14:44.As for the bottom of the championship, Nottingham Forest is
:14:44. > :14:52.still inching their way to safety, but after scoring at Leeds, goals
:14:52. > :15:02.were harder to come via. Forest hit the post instead of the net twice

:15:04. > :15:14.more. There wasn't Cashel defending and it was Brighton's first attempt

:15:44. > :15:49.team. We played very well. There was an excellent team spirit. To
:15:49. > :15:53.score a late goal, it would have been easy to accept defeat. They
:15:53. > :15:59.did not do that. The fans were tremendous today. Between them and

:16:24. > :16:30.nearest rivals. There has been a long, hard season, but if we keep
:16:30. > :16:37.battling on will be fine. Coventry beat the drop this season?
:16:37. > :16:42.Yes, without a shadow of doubt. has been another roller-coaster
:16:42. > :16:46.season for the Sky Blues. Just 35 points from 39 games has seen them

:16:58. > :17:03.stay up or go down? I think they are going down. I decided to do my
:17:03. > :17:10.own survey of 100 fans on Saturday. To the Coventry faithful think they
:17:10. > :17:17.will stay up or go down? I think they are going to stay up. I would
:17:17. > :17:21.say we are going down. The we will stay up, absolutely. The prospect
:17:21. > :17:27.of a third tier football next season would be devastating for Sky

:20:07. > :20:13.definitely showing that they can pick up results. I am looking at
:20:13. > :20:16.them and they have great momentum. They fancy themselves out of those
:20:16. > :20:19.fixtures there to continue. It is just worrying that away from home
