It’s also code for he doesn’t know them well enough to be rough with them.

Most young lads are very timid around kids they don’t know at that age especially if the other boys know each other well.

You’re going to have to move house now.

What age is he?

[glenshane]

Surely the credit must go to the indispensable vital crucial yellow t shirt?

Our little wan I think will be more into singing, dancing, ballet all that crap, so her mother can take her off to that. I’ll take her hiking.

At a birthday party on Saturday, all the kids were having a go at the pinata with a stick. Our wan goes up and gives it the most delicate tap. I said to the lad beside me 'she will break fuckall ball in the half forward line anyway '.

@TheUlteriorMotive

Could you find a club his school pals are in?

I think based on mistakes I’ve made myself that’s the key to it

I think you’re right. It’s a herd mentality at that age

I brought him to a few matches and he just stood in the middle of the pitch not getting involved. Tried to encourage him to help his team but he said he didn’t want to hurt anyone which was code for he didn’t want to get hurt.

What age is he? Thats pretty par for the course for 90% of them under 8

She sounds like a chip off the old block.

My problem was I’d pull too hard Fagan. Mightn’t connect with the ball always though but I always connected with something

If the child doesn’t want to play hurling don’t be making him play. There’s plenty of other hobbies a child could have that will be just as good. He could take up music for a start.

[glenshane]

There’s always hockey, shinty or lacrosse

[mikehunt]

Yeah but he’ll end up like me not wanting to do anything.

I’d say we might be in the same boat with our older lad. He’s showing no interest in playing ball games or sport generally. Just about to turn 4 so naturally that could change but he’s obsessed with letters and numbers & shaping up to be an academic sort. The younger lad is wild and has the makings of an adventurous wing back with a bit of a dirty streak. We’ll bring them both along to GAA in due course but won’t force the issue.

TBF you could say the same for the current Tipp half forward line

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Would you not pick a club that doesn’t tog out in a ditch?

I’d say the pushy hoor is thinking about which county
