great stuff, you will forever be in his heart after this, especially if we win.I am sure he won't mind that, just make an excuse saying it is because you are old.
He'll probably be explaining it to you!
Not that it seems you will but don’t moan at anyone about swearing if hes not in the family stand - it’s football.
‘No worries dad you f***ing twat’
Do not give him the option of doing anything other than watching the game. I have friends who take their kids iPads to football ‘in case they get bored’. Of course they’re going to say yes if you ask them half way through whether they’d rather play on that! Just keep him engaged the whole time by talking to him about the game and telling him which player is which and basically give a running commentary on what is happening. You need to accept that you won’t be as engaged in the game yourself as you would be normally, today needs to be about getting him hooked rather than your enjoyment.
In front of him anyway, you may do a zouma when you get home though.
Trossard?
I’ll try and keep it down, but it does largely depend on the referee.
If kids need bribery to get them to games then it’s not for them.
Well I suggest you don't have 5 pints before the game so that you don't need so many toilet breaks and you try and restrain yourself for once from calling the ref a f*cking c*nt and giving the away fans the finger...
That’s nice for you but everyone is different and some kids need a bit of help as the young ones now aren’t used to concentrating on something for long periods of time.
Brentford fans? Seems reasonable.
I’d advocate taking potential first time fans to county league games to see what their attention span is. Granted this doesn’t help the thread starter, but I’d only want to take someone who has the ability to watch the game without bribes or distractions.
Yeah this. It actually works. They still look at each and giggle their way through it but they know it’s a football thing and not to repeat it. I took them to the Pompey v Derby game on Tuesday night, now being around some rough Pompey fans was an experience for them! It made a trip to the Amex seem like a parent and toddler club!
