Just in the door from seeing my young lad get his first run at senior. Learned during the week he was getting a run and was named on bench. Hour before is told is starting midfield against Holycross of Tipp.

More than held his own and learned theres levels to this shit. Back to minors next weekend with a bit more added to his arsenal.

Proud day in the household.

Always a big moment. It’ll take the lustre off the Mothers Day celebrations however.

Play this cool and you could be in for the :dart: later. (@caulifloweredneanderthal)

My youngest has become obsessed with Bayern Munich in recent months since randomly getting their jersey as a Christmas present from my sister. He’s got into learning about the club & all the players, & I’ve been showing him You Tube match highlights weekly.

He also stayed up to watch the Real Madrid & PSG Champions League ties with me, which probably wasn’t great parenting on a school night for a 5-year old. He’s even started to DO HIS OWN RESEARCH on the club, typing ā€œFC Bayern Munichā€ into You Tube & just letting various clips segue into the next one.

Anyway, it was my life partner’s Mam’s anniversary lately so she popped into the church across the road from the school after collecting him the other day to light a candle for her. He was telling me about it when they got arrived home & I asked him who he prayed for…

…He replied ā€œGranny in heaven & Franz Beckenbauer.ā€

A lovely wee tale, you’re clearly a great dad, they’re lucky to have you.

I also formed the impression that your nerves are in tatters in advance of tomorrow’s activities. If I were you I’d abandon those sissy/girly Baileys coffees and tear into a bottle of whiskey for an hour.

My young fella is the same age and he is obsessed with Ronaldo.

He’s never seen Ronaldo kick a ball but he does be watching shite on YouTube about Ronaldo being the goat.

I’ve told him messi was better and that Ronaldo wasn’t even the best Ronaldo. He just keeps telling me that Ronaldo is the GOAT.

I asked him what the GOAT is and he has no idea.

I should probably take the tablet off him. But apart from the Ronaldo propaganda all he watches are stupid YouTubers playing soccer so it seems harmless enough.

Just back from a pal’s 80th, his two teenage kids in attendance, along with a smattering from a previous marriage. He invited us all back for his 90th, then his missus mentioned that she’d be 60 in a few years. Don’t know what to make of the whole shebang.

The fact that he’s still talking to his missus?
