The Daddy Thread

[backinatracksuit]

My 9 year old is a good enough basketball player, a bit rough but I put that down to desire to compete.

The other night walking home from training I asked her what was her favourite thing about basketball, the answer surprised me,
Her favourite thing is when the ref blows his whistle because she’s done a foul

Mrs Hunt completed the full back line last night. Another boy. I dunno how they do it. They spent an hour stitching her up and she’s in flying form this morning even with no sleep. I’ll be putting the girl in the full back position.

Congratulations Mike

First ever GAA session for 2018 born kids this morning. My older lad in the enclosed astro pitch dying to get out and his younger brother born in 2020 on the outside dying to get in.

That’s tremendous

Sounds like that younger lad has great potential. Get him kicking off both feet and find a suitable Corkonian S and C coach to set him up with a developmental plan. He’ll be following the process for Philly McMahons sky blue army in 20 years time yet.

Our eldest played his first U9 soccerball game this morning. My advice of shoot on sight worked well as he scored 4 goals. Himself and another lad who lives up the road from us ran rings around the other team. Of course it’s non competitive and noone was keeping track of the score

However the most satisfying thing of all was seeing the local ‘gaa royalty’ parents aghast at how the soccer club run things cos their little darlings don’t get preferential treatment.

I went as far as minor level before retiring. The gaa royalty in this town are an absolute shower. They’re actually making a mess of what could be a brilliant club and ironically making other sports stronger in the town

We’re actually up at some tournament run by your crowd in the morning in UCD. Not sure if you’ve any kids in that age bracket

[TheUlteriorMotive]

No. We’re older. That’s a great day out. Hopefully your lads enjoy it. It’s usually well done and run and finals for everybody.

We had Salthill this year and they were unreal.

How did it go @Mac

You’d great weather for it

Savage day. Kids had a ball. Parents came home hoarse. Poor teenage ref got a bollocking from some parents in the last match and they had to be told to cop themselves on

Unlikely that there were 15 U12s who could run in Davidstown, unless they picked U10s ahead of him.

The worst type of cunts, a blight on the game.

Correct, poor teenage refs need to be run from the association.
