ALMOST 6,000 men in Notts have pledged to help end domestic violence as part of the Post's Man Enough campaign. The year-long drive, which was launched on Valentine's Day 2012, has been described as a "springboard" for the future.

"The sad part of this is that many abused women go back to the abuser time and time again and even refuse to press charges or give evidence. Domestic, or any other form of, violence is to be deplored. It would be interesting to discover how many cases are drink fuelled."
BLawrenson
"Calling it 'a minority' suggests it is negligible. It isn't. Men were the victims in over a quarter of incidents, and since under-reporting by men is likely to be even more extreme than that by women, the real figures could be even worse. It's a shame you perpetuate the stereotype that domestic violence is a gender-specific issue, particularly with your silly slogan. Any domestic violence, whether it is carried out by a man or a woman, and whether it is against a man or a woman, is unacceptable."

"Agree – but if you looks at any stats you like, they'll show that most domestic violence is man on woman. The reverse is a minority."

ANDY Reid says Nottingham Forest must find some stability if they are to forge a late push for promotion. The winger remains convinced this season should not yet be a write-off, despite a stormy period of change off the pitch that saw Billy Davies become the club's fourth manager since July.

"Stability is the key. Unfortunately we are getting daily examples of how unstable the club is. Let nobody believe the line that backroom unrest doesn't affect the players. With all the instability and changes how confident are the likes of Darlow/Henderson/Majewski feeling that they will be part of future plans? Take Darlow. He's come up through the Academy and will have had the full backing of Marshall/Pemberton and Barron. Now they've gone, he has no backup, nobody to influence the manager. First time he makes a mistake his confidence will drop, and his place is on the line."

"Andy, if all your team mates had performed up to your standard this season, we would be top of this division. There lies the problem."
