Listen lads, we are all guilty of putting “our rules” on our kids and it’s a really hard thing to remember that they have not had to live our lives and they are their own people. My lad is a big athletic unit and he was having a bit of bother in school with a couple of traveller lads so of course silly bollocks here says “hit em round the f***ing head with a chair and beat them with it until some body drags you off.....make sure they never want a bit of you again” My lad looked horrified and he has a gentle nature which I love so all that turn out is never going to be a bit of him...

I have my own rule mate, if someone is getting out of hand I’d just stop the game and take my kids away. Not has to do that as yet as normally a little whisper of “Here mate, shut up” is enough. The stop the game rule is actually a proper rule in under age football in England and I think it’s a great rule to be honest.
-
Yep, I know exactly what you are talking about mate.

I hope they make Thornberry the next leader, they will get wiped out again ! Lol

They are trying very hard to bring socialist European style politics to the United States from what I can see of it......America will decide if it wants that. Think of Obama, a man cast exactly in Blair’s image.
-
Yeah, that’s a fair one that mate Totally agree
-
I think it’s easy for a first reaction to lads like that to be “oh for f**k sake” but actually the world needs colourful, fun, larger than life characters who just go off doing one mad idea after the other. Im much too introverted and not nearly well off enough to be like that but lads like that make me smile. Football especially, if it was down to the cold reality of bean counters then nobody would ever invest.....as you say, it’s more like a charitable donation than anything else but, it’s also the life blood of the game. Without it mate, kids would be falling into all sorts o

The previous man was off your patch and a football lad to go with it mate. I don’t know how much Dave and his pals are into football but they certainly have a nice business and a few quid round them. Football and what it means to people is where having a lad like you on board comes into its own I suppose mate. I have spoken to them a couple of times, very brief pass the time of day out of politeness type stuff, but they seemed nice people.

My lad is funny, he can follow instruction for Lego or puzzles all by himself and you won’t get a peep out of him for hours but if he has to start making multiple choices in a social situation the old brain frazzles! Lol

My youngest is ASD too mate and he can’t deal with big crowds and instructions at all !
-
Parents can be the worst mate, for a start most of them have absolutely no concept about the fact that’s it’s NOT about winning football matches at junior level. Then of course you have the parent who never volunteers or gives up his time to coach or even help, more over you can see they have never played the game in any sort of serious way but come the match.....they are Johan Cruyff !! You give your kids a set of ideas, tell them to focus on certain things in the game, encourage them and there’s this prat screaming at his kid from the side lines to do this or do that.......poo

A sponsor may cover the cost of a kit mate at local kids and adults level but that’s about it. Everything else requires support, lots of support. It probably cost me £500 a year to coach my youngsters teams, I buy all my own equipment, medals, trophies etc etc ......it’s a pain in the arse waiting for the club or committee to do anything so I just do it myself and f**k em. Badges in England are an investment because you can see money going back into the game with facilities etc In Ireland I refuse to pay and do them because absolutely f**k all gets put into the game here.
-
At a guess I’d say it’s going to be some right on, warped prick who thinks a duck should be able to identify as a tree and that saying “I don’t like winter” is a hate crime.
-
Most clubs, especially grass roots clubs, walk a fine line I reckon mate
-
I have just read Trumps letter to Pelosi, it’s a belter. !
-
That sounds decent that mate. I don’t know if clubs are giving grants but one thing I know 100% is that all clubs rely on support in the community and it sounds like them boys have the right idea. Theres a simple truth in football and that is, built something good and people will come but you have to be very, very pro active. If you build a good thing you will get: Players wanting to play for you People wanting to send their kids to your youth teams People wanting to watch you Business and sponsors wanting to be associated with you But it means a hell of

Same for every European club mate I’m afraid (obviously in jock land it will be different ! Lol ) The gate pays for f**k all, it’s the merchandise and sponsors that pay the bills. I was in the PSG shop on the Champs Elysee 5 years back and they couldn’t stack Ibrahimovic shirts on the selves fast enough, as they put a pile on they were gone at €90 a pop ! They must have sold thousands that day and that shop was rammed the day I was in there and the others days I walked past as well.
-
I’ll message you mate.
-
Ohh, is that the club you have a little interest in.....just dawned on me. I like that little ground, I’ll buy you a cup of tea when I’m over there next.....that’s if the hoi palloy have tea with the oiks? Lol ?
-
Or Marco Boogers, Collins, Reid, Lomas, Bishop etc Good job we had them in the tool box and could afford to f**k off Ferdinand, Lampard, Cole, Carrick etc etc lol ?
-
Point is, even AC Milan are saying that if they don’t do something modern then they will diminish !.......this is AC Milan we are talking about.......can you ever imagine uttering the words “Remember AC Milan?.....yeah, they play in division 3 in Italy but years ago they were one of the best ever” I can’t.......
-
Watch that AC Milan video mate, tell me, do you think they should keep the SAN Siro or build a new gaff ?
-
That’s true about non league, Paul Konchesky has a few games down our little local club last season. Its also a decent place to watch up and coming youngsters out on loan and cutting their teeth.
-
This is the honest answer mate: The football fan in me would have happily stayed at Upton Park forever.....that is absolutely what my football “fan” nature is all about. The player and student of coaching in me would move because you have to.
