That’s great coaching.

Was the goal on?

@mikehunt

Got this message from one of Rascal’s coaches last night. Mighy sound gesture. If I wasn’t there to witness it I’d be thinking I have a Ja Fallon on my hands.

[mikehunt]

A yard out but at 6 years of age a point is worth 3 goals.

[myboyblue]

Ye’ll hardly stay going for much longer?

[mikehunt]

They had their year end party last week so reckon next week is the last one. He’ll be sad.

[myboyblue]

Aye, but the weather is going to shit and at that age group you’d be calling off every other session anyway if you tried to keep going.

Come on down mate. Its a brilliant movie so far

[Horsebox]

I’d be having words with your friend mate.

Well behaved kids mate…
There’s scores of kids aged 13/14 around the estate here drinking. They’re ridiculously young and openly walking around with cans… The girls are literally wearing hotpants and belly tops. One girl on the ground in a bad way too…her mother had to be called.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

yes, these in fairness seem to be talking about anime & shit like that, they are a bit of way from that.

Best of luck mate. Kids these days are big into physical fitness and the environment.

Go down and tell them about your friends on the internet who ran the marathon yesterday. If that doesn’t work tell them about your anti-cager campaign.

If you’re still struggling at that stage just give them a few cans

Edit: I’m dreading it too btw

When this happens in my house, I’ll make a point of sitting at the kitchen table oiling the double barrel. “Howye lads.”

[TheUlteriorMotive]

The only double barrel in these parts are the surnames.

[croppy_boy]

If they’re locals they’re probably Shels fans.

[Juhniallio]

Closer timewise to drogheda anyway…

My 4-year old wanted to watch Blippi on You Tube Kids yesterday so I told him to go ahead. He brought the 2-year old with him & I was enjoying the peace and quiet for a while.

Then I heard some un-Blippi-like dialogue coming from the living room TV so I followed them in. They’d gone into Netflix instead of You Tube Kids & were watching Series 1 Episode 1 of Big Mouth.

According to the series description, it’s an animated comedy series for adults about a teenager’s puberty journey. The “Puberty Fairy” was chatting to the main character in Episode 1 when I stopped it to the dismay of the two lads. That series opening episode was called “Ejaculation”!

We switched over to Blippi then & enjoyed the main man having fun in an indoor play centre. All in all, it served as a little reminder to set parental controls on the TV & other devices, & to maybe not leave 4 and 2 year-olds unsupervised.

Who can predict the long term psychological impact of prematurely lurching away from peak big mouth and back to blippi. I didn’t pursue psychology beyond first year college, but i think you can abandon any notions of being a grandfather
