My going on the pitch thoughts(as it seems flavour of the month!)

Accusing Cunning Stunt of bad parenting just because he let his young un have a few minutes on a football pitch is ridiculous. Some folk eh?

 

the OP is misguided at best. CS i know you do a lot with the fanzine and take a strong view on football however if the rules ask us not to go on the the pitch then lets abide by them. call me miserable, call me whatever. i know its not the crime of the century, thats not really the point

just because the governemnt ask us not to go over 70mph and some choose to doesnt make it ok to do what we like when we like. its not hard.

 

Of course it is bad parenting. The announcers constantly say 'don't go on the pitch' for you to then say 'yes, course you can go on the pitch' cannot be described as anything other than bad parenting, it's certainly not good parenting is it? And no, I haven't done any of the other things mentioned above as they are also against the law. And yes, my life has been full of joy and happiness, I don't need to speed along a road or take up a disabled person's parking space to have fun.

 

As a teacher I'm sure you'll see far poorer forms of parenting in a daily basis, parents fetching there kids late to school, smoking in front of them, sweating at them, letting them run wild in the streets till silly o'clock, feeding them ***** on a daily basis......those are poor forms of parenting not letting a little boy go on the pitch for a few minutes!

It's quite clear that I'm in a minority on this subject, maybe I need to be strung up with my testicles and stoned for my outlandish views.......

 

I hated it when mum sweated on me...

 

Jesus get a life some of you.

There just youngens running on the pitch at the end of the season and jumping about a bit. If the Club really wanted to stop it they could by better organised stewarding.
It's probably the only laugh they've had all season watching BFC...

Make them sign a form when they buy their tickets. No running on the pitch after the last match .
No standing up during games
No banging on the back of the stand
No swearing
Promise to just sit quietly moaning like all the adults.

 

At last some reality applied to this subject

 

I've had a brilliant upbringing. I got joy out of a lot more than breaking rules to embarrasses myself on a football field.

 

I take your point fella. It's really royal of folk tho to tar me with the 'bad dad' tag for allowing my young lad to spend 5 mins on the pitch. I've had no 'sensible' or I reckon 'honest' answers to their own rule breaking misdemeanors!

Bought a pint pre 18 years old?
Been over 70mph on the motorway(I hope not with kids in the car that that's life threatening)?

I sure you get my point as I do get the others. But FFS, anyone on err will vouch for my parenting skills. I'm not really sure I need to explain them on here(even tho I am?!?) But if allowing my lad to grace to Oakwell grass and for him to say it was the best match ever(5-0, got Turnbulls gloves off Toby, met schoolmates on pitch) makes me a bad parent then google '**** fatha' and ring the social.

 

You're refusing to see the reality of the other side of the argument too.

 

I'm not at all, first and foremost I don't condone players, officials, stewards or police being attacked, people who do that want banning for life in my opinion.

What I can't get my head around is people getting all heat up about young/old un's that go on a pitch after a massive win or end of the season.

My big issue was the critiscm aimed at Cunning Stunt for allowing his little lad onto the field, him being labeled a poor parent.... That's a real **** comment really.

If Barnsley football club wanted to do something about then they would line all the stewards up around the track and not have them waiting in the West stand at full time to run on and form a line at the half way line.........

 

what's all the fuss about its a bit of grass. Not even a particularly well kept bit of grass. I'm a terrible parent I was driving the other day with my little girl 25 miles from services she needed a wee desperately so Iet her break the law by peeing on the woods at the side of the road. Phone child line quick

 

I don't think you're a bad parent. Well, I don't actually know, but from what I do know of you, the thought hasn't crossed my mind and you allowing your lad on the pitch doesn't make me think so either. I happen to disagree with you, but I would imagine we disagree on all sorts of stuff, doesn't make me think any less of you and it certainly doesn't make me think you're a bad dad.

For what it's worth, I don't have any points on my licence, I don't think I've ever had a parking ticket and I certainly don't park in disabled bays. However, I speed all the time. ALL THE ******* TIME. I'm not talking about a few mph over the limit either, I drive fast. If there are enough corners, I've never encountered anyone, whatever they drive, who can beat me in my clapped out old man's Toyota. I believe I'm a safe driver, the only accident I've ever had was over 20 years ago and I was travelling less than 5mph at the time, but that isn't really the point, I break the law regularly. The reason I haven't got any points on my licence is a combination of luck and being very observant when it comes to spotting speed cameras.

I first started going round tarn when I was 14. I've taken illegal drugs and prescription drugs for recreational purposes. I've never robbed anyone or killed anyone or raped anyone, but I've done some pretty shitty things in my life.

I don't judge you, I just disagree with you.

 

Some proper sanctimonious ****** in this thread.

Ive known gaz a few years and although I wouldnt describe us as good mates or anything the bloke is one of the most family orientated blokes ive ever met be it his brother, mum or now with his son

Some of the ***** about is lack of parenting skills is nothing short of a base insult.

******.

 

Well done on teaching your lad that his personal desires are more important than everyone else's, that its OK to break the law if you want to. That no doesn't always mean not and generally that he can do whatever he wants because his dad does.

Cracking parenting.

Sorry if that sounds harsh but it is unbelievably irresponsible

PS I don't think that makes you a bad parent in general at all. In fact I'm pretty sure you're not. It does however mean that in this situation (and this situation alone) it was bad parenting.

 

Ah well

Being a nice bloke and family orientated doesn't automatically make you a responsible parent does it?

 

Geez the bloke let his bairn ont pitch. That's all.

 

To be fair they do do something about it. They announce publicly that you are not allowed to do it. That is enough isn't it? I mean if you saw a car with its door wide open and the keys in the ignition would you take it? Nobody is physically stopping you but you know you're not allowed to do it so you dont

 

If he'd been a good parent he'd have run ont pitch his sen and saved his lads little legs. Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.
