Kick It Out chairman Lord Ouseley has backed Greg Dyke’s proposals for FA reform but admits it will be a struggle to get them accepted. Outgoing FA chairman Dyke is keen for the organisation to modernise, particularly with regard to the number of women and individuals from black or ethnic minorities who sit on the FA council. Of the 123-strong body, just six are women and four come from black and minority ethnic backgrounds but, although Ouseley is supportive of the push for change, he is not convinced Dyke will succeed. FA chairman Greg Dyke outlines his proposed changes for English footballs governing body I hope he does but I am not sure he will, Lord Ouseley said of Dykes proposals on Sky Sports News HQ as he attended a Kick It Out fundraising dinner at Stamford Bridge.He is a reformer and he clearly recognises the Football Association needs to get into the 21st century.He is trying to make sure that happens by making sure some of the protocols within the council are modified, reformed, to enable wider representation of what the country looks like. Outgoing FA chairman Greg Dyke wants to bring about reforms Also, the board and the council, with its broad representation, especially at grassroots level, can collaborate to bring about changes for the benefit of the game.I think Greg Dyke requires all our support in order to help him get [the changes] through but the council are a law unto themselves and he is probably up against it.As for the need to ensure more council members come from black or ethnic minorities, Lord Ouseley feels such a change is necessary but may take time to become a reality.I was one once but there is a long way to go with that. It is slow going that one but it really has to happen, and it will, he added.There are more women now than there was a few years ago but it is like trying to climb Mt Everest with that one but we will get there one day. Sky Sports News HQ reporter Anton Toloui explains how FA Chairman Greg Dyke plans to reform the FA Lord Ouseley believes the game has improved in its attitudes in recent years but insists there is still plenty of work still to be done.There is a lot more work to be done but football is in a much better state today than it was even five years ago, which means it is a much better experience to watch or go and play, he said.What we are concerned about is, while we make progress on the regulatory front, there is a big issue about attitudes and prejudice.We are seeing a rise in statistical evidence, both from police and in football, of anti-semitism and Islamophobia-type incidents.We are trying to ensure all our clubs, particularly the ones who have got community foundations or trusts, are putting a greater emphasis on educational elements, not just playing football. Andrea Barzagli Jersey .R. Smith realized how easily basketball can be taken from him, and he wasnt going to take his place in the NBA for granted anymore. Juventus Jerseys .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit. http://www.juventusfcpro.com/Kids-Mario-Mandzukic-Jersey/ .

The opponent, Croatia and all its football might and will. As opposites do attract we are set for a corker of an opener. Daniele Rugani Jersey . Tests earlier this week revealed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain for Sabathia, who was hurt in last Fridays start against San Francisco. Its an injury that will require about eight weeks to heal. He finished a disappointing campaign just 14-13 with a career-worst 4. Medhi Benatia Jersey . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers. Long gone but never forgotten, Friday is the 20th anniversary of perhaps the best non-NFL game in American football history. Arena Bowl X pitted a pair of quarterbacks who would move on to bigger things, trading scores throughout the night in a tiny auditorium filled with 11,411 fans dressed as farm animals in Des Moines, Iowa.What was it like to play Arena League football, and that game in particular? ESPN.com has the video and spoke with the quarterbacks -- Jay Gruden of the Tampa Bay Storm and Kurt Warner of the Iowa Barnstormers -- for details. (Theyre now known as Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden and surefire Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner, but youve probably made the connection already.)On this particular day, Grudens Storm held off Warners Barnstormers with a late goal-line stand to win 42-38.Warner: Jay was the best Arena quarterback up until that time. Im not sure what has happened since then, but I consider him the best Arena quarterback ever. He was a smart guy that maybe wasnt the most talented physically, but he had that intelligence and the ability to put the ball where he needed to. He threw a very catchable ball, and, at that point in his career, he was like a coach on the field. People make such a big deal about arm strength, but that doesnt matter as much if you can throw the ball with anticipation and accuracy and make it catchable, and he had those skills and he did them so well. He was the model quarterback of the Arena League. He really was. We all wanted to be like Jay.Gruden: At the time, we were pretty damn good and we had a strong reputation. Had we known what Kurt was going to turn into, it might have been a different story. But we were the intimidators.Warner: It was a great back-and-forth game, very much like what Arena football was in those days.Gruden: I remember Steve [Houghton] hit me about six times, and one time he hit me in the end zone and I fell into the security guard back behind the wall. It was fun. Those were my favorite kinds of games.Warner: Ive always said, if everything was equal, from money to retirement to endorsement opportunities -- all that stuff -- if everything was equal, Id play Arena football over the NFL. It was built for quarterbacks. It was just backyard football. You ran the ball 4 or 5 yards per game. It was always a two-minute drill. There was always pressure on the quarterback to score. If you didnt score on one possession, you might lose. Those scenarios to me were so much fun.?(Note: Warner and Gruden combined for ninne touchdown passes in the game.dddddddddddd)Gruden: I loved the crowd. It was like 9,000 [actually, 11,411] people packed in this little barn dressed like farm animals screaming. I can remember Johnnie [Harris] fighting a fan who had grabbed him. It was so loud you couldnt hear from me to you. It was a blast. It was a lot of fun.Warner: It was a typical, last-team-with-the-ball-wins type of game, and thats exactly what we had the chance to do. We drove inside the 5-yard line.Gruden: [T]hey complained about their guy getting called out of bounds at the 3. They thought he got in. Oh, boohoo. But they had a first-and-goal at the 3 and we stopped them four plays in a row.Warner: We werent able to finish inside. We had the chance to win and I didnt make the plays to finish the deal. It was a classic Arena game where you were just going back and forth with guys making plays all over the place.Gruden: We had to get one first down, and I threw a pass out to Stevie Thomas on the left. Game time.Warner: I dont think theres any question that the Arena League allowed me to flourish. I played three years in a league where the quarterback wasnt supposed to be stopped. We never wanted to kick. When I went into the NFL, I had that same mentality. We were very good on top of that. But we had that mentality [with the St. Louis Rams]. We were not going to punt. We were going to score every time.Gruden: We were all young guys trying to get the chance Kurt got. I tell you what, he had a quick release and he was accurate. He showed no fear in the pocket. For quarterbacks, say what you want, you learn a lot about the position playing Arena ball as far as anticipation, timing and getting the ball out of your hand. That was a different era. We had defensive linemen playing offensive line, so the pressure was a lot different as far as the pass rush was concerned. It was a great experience making the tight window throws on the goal line, anticipation throws, fades, touch. It was good.Warner: When you think back to Jay in those days, you think about a coach on the field, how he handled things and managed things. The way he led his teams, to championships and just on the field, its absolutely no surprise the kind of offensive mind hes become and the success hes had as a head coach. He was a very fiery competitor, but a great leader and a very smart player -- you see all of that now in his current job.
