TheScope Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Send him in with no trousers on. When anybody asks, he says he supports Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Skies Are Grey Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Nice to see MF full of its usual levels of misery....... Says the man who probably spends half of his life wearing an Everton shirt . I don't share your love of football and I don't want my son to feel excluded or different because he has no interest in football. How many children know what bowel cancer is? I've a rough idea Bobby Moore played football for England in the 70's or something but he means nothing to me, I'm sorry he had bowel cancer and I'm sorry if he is dead but really? It's not for children. It's actually very sinister, taking a pound off a 5 year old to support a charity who are paying their directors +£140K pa. How about they teach children to write, spell and add up? Never mind filling their heads full of popular culture rubbish! Blimey that escalated quickly...... I do agree (at least in the HBN letter) that the wording wasnt the best in the initial missive that went out....i did look to exclude kids that didn't have any interest in football per se. But to call it "sinister" is a tad sensationalist.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bees Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 So, I got him a football shirt (borrowed) would he wear it? Absolutely not! It seems the school aren't the only ones sucked in by this UK charity, my daughter went off to work in a rugby shirt this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 In Manchester today. Considerably fewer City shirts than this time last year. And no Utd ones obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you really did want cake? I did actually have some but I thought you didn't want it so I ate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moghrey Mie Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Wsag, I often voice my unease over the big businesses charities have become, I don't like it and I don't like football and I'm a moany crabbit ald boot (sometimes) I get fed up with all this charity stuff especially little children at nurseries who are expected to take part in sponsored events for causes they can't possibly understand. It makes me wish the health services and medical research were properly funded. Here's another one coming up. http://www.clicsargent.org.uk/content/wig-wednesday-0?gclid=CNDkiYqvgsUCFYuWtAodTjsADQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freggyragh Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 If you're not sure Premiership shirt to go for, perhaps you could can base it on what your child would like to advertise, and their favourite colour: FX Trading is available in claret or white. Payday loans is available in black and white stripes. Accountancy software comes in white with black pinstripes. Insurance is available in white. Online transaction services is blue and red stripes (other financial services are available in either red or white). Online gambling is available in orange and black stripes, claret and blue (two styles), or red and white stripes. Middle Eastern and Asian airline companies are available in red and white, sky blue, or blue and white hoops. Lager is available in blue, as is airport based duty free sales. American cars and trucks is available in red. Wholesale food vending is red and white stripes. Consumer electronics comes in either plain blue or red and white stripes. If the type of enterprise your child would like to advertise is not available on the right colour of shirt then ask if the shop stocks other colours (known in the trade as 'away', 'third', 'goalie', 'goalie away', 'goalie third', 'European', 'European goalie', 'training', etc), or, see what colours were available last year. Be warned however, whilst this option means you are more likely to get change from £50, your child may be sneered at. For extra style, and a substantial extra wedge of cash, your child can get the corporate logo of a bank printed on each sleeve, the number and name of a morally reprehensible sportswear or fast-food salesman printed on the back (but be warned - this may render the shirt instantly out of date during the 'transfer window'). The shirts really are lovely, they are made out of the finest polyester and generally feature the manufacturers logo on one side and a little 'crest' on the other. Hope that helps.
