Black and White Tragic Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 For those personal problems that you can't ask people you know for advice, but end up having it aired anonymously in a national newspaper you can use this thread as an alternative. I'll go first. I remember taking my oldest boy to his first game in 2004 a 3-0 thumping of Motherwell. He was only two years old and I felt emotional about the moment, just as the game kicked off. I admit I had tear in my eye. Anyway, roll on nearly 13 years and my boy has just broken some traumatic news to me. He didn't even prepare me for what he was about to tell me. He doesn't like football, and doesn't want to go anymore. He says he's never liked it. It's like he's been living a lie for all these seasons. Advice please?

Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Maybe you should have taken him to see a decent football team. Like Stranraer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 3-0 game was when we had all the beach balls etc wasn't it? When you've seen Derek Young score a goal then run around in a giant sombrero you know football is only going to be a disappointment after that. My first game was against Brechin at East End in front of a few hundred miserable souls. It was only going to be onwards and upwards from there. Now is your chance to do something else with your son. Maybe find a new pastime you can enjoy together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these years I've paid good money just to experience nervousness, anger, palpitations, sore throats, sit in freezing temperatures, pay ridiculous money to eat abattoir floor scrapings in burnt pastry and ultimately, disappointment. We must be mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I don't really like football anymore either, I won't ever watch on TV and Locke is making it hard to watch us, good luck to the lad get him onto something more exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed quite enthusiastic about being a match mascot in 2011.Already have a number of pastimes although there's one that he does and I don't. That'd be his karate where he takes his grading for black belt next. I ain't taking that up now as I'd get my ass kicked!Anyway, my other boy loves the fitba (unless he has immense acting ability).

Isn't it pretty normal for kids that age to go through things like this? It's not always 'cool' to be hanging about with your folks when you're a teenager.

Border Reiver Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Tell him it's ok as your not his real father and have never cared for him. If that doesn't work take him to see some rugby but that's a last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 He'll surely drift back to it at a later age. Let the lad wonder the world until the emptiness grows inside him to unbearable levels and he has to admit to himself that the only thing that can fill it is seeing the mighty, mighty Pars. Either that or move house one day and don't tell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black and White Tragic Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 All excellent advice (apart from the sinister Dindeleux, homophobic, comment).Am just going to tell him to get in the car, he's going. Once he sinks his teeth into the bridie, all the protestations will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
