Don't disagree with you CaptainPenguin. Can't think of 1 photographer I know who'd rather shoot manual focus! by skill I was meaning more the ability to read the game know where the best positions are and anticipating the shot. Its the technology that's improved (AF, lenses, hi ISO's etc etc)...

Press Association Images also had the same T&C's - we politely declined these laughable terms and I'd suggest anyone else who doesn't want to hand over all rights to their images does the same.
