Have I failed as a Father
Sat Jan 30, 2016 1:34 pm
I have 2 boys, 18 and 20 and always brought then up to be honest, respectful and do the right thing.
Well the other day I picked up my youngest boy from Uni and everything seemed fine. As we got onto Eastern Avenue he said "Dad, I have got something to tell you".........................well my mind was working overtime, "what have you done son".
He replied "Well me and my mate had some spare time today, so we caught a bus and went to Newport". "Go on" I said.
"Well" he said somewhat nervously - "I bought a Newport County football shirt"

Better still, buy him a Newport County season ticket. That'll sort him!
And if it doesn't, threaten him with a Cardiff City one for next season, if Slade stays!

This story reminds me of the 10 year old lad from a family of Jack supporters, who was given money for his birthday to go buy a football shirt and he came home with a Cardiff city shirt on.
His old man give him a hiding and said what the hell have you got on there? - go and show your grampa! The grandfather also gave the lad a few clouts and took him back to his father who asked the young lad if he had learned a lesson from what had happened to him?
Yes, said the boy I have! And what is that? said his father to which the kid replied: I have only been a city fan for an hour and I already hate you Jack bastards!!
Out of the mouths of babes eh!?
