Where are you going to send the lad to secondary school @Bandage - Paulās, Fintanās, the Ard Scoil, Mount Temple or Belvo?
Wexford CBS.
Thereās nothing wrong with a technical education - subjects like woodwork, technical drawing and home ec will stand to him in life
Youāre piling pressure onto Bando Ćg, itās not as if the Herculean feats of Pops are that widely known. Bandage would be better advised giving him driving lessons and some rudimentary DIY skills ahead of rubby shite.
Its too late.
He might only be on the wind up
Are you going to give him a pen knife to go with it?
Iām not going to deprive him of something just because of my own hang ups about what is a despicable activity. If the boy wants a rubby ball then a rubby ball heāll get.
Youāre going to encourage brain injuries ?
Weāve truly come a long way as a nation.
We should all strive to be as open minded and supportive as @Bandage.
Where and who is influencing this??? This is outrageous ā¦You need to give full disclosure here.
As the old saying goes ālet your children run wild and freeā
@bandage will have to tweak that to ālet your children run perfectly timed lines off the blindsideā.
Fuck sake. How dehumanised is the police force in America ?
I have a lovely American football that I always keep in my classroom, weād often go out to the yard and toss it about, we play a sort of touch football game, you canāt run with the ball in your hands, all about passing and catching and gaining territory, on Monday mornings during the season weād watch highlights of some of the games from the Sunday night, theyād have a team that they root for.
But do these Limerick children call it the American football?
Do they fuck, ācan we take the rubby ball out sir? Can we throw the rubby ball around? Can we play American football with the rubby ball?ā
Fuck sake, thereās no talking to them
Limerick is rugby county
A rubby county with an American football problem.
As long as heās playing any sport thatās all that matters, vital for children to develop socially
This years champions league semis. Couldnāt shout for any of the 4 teams.
