Benson- is Hedges our next signing ?

[malwayne]

In our local junior school( which John Toshack and a few others ) started kicking a ball about, they don’t have a football team of any sort. The only time they play football is in the school yard at play time. Teachers no longer give up their “ free time” after school or every Saturday morning. When I was growing up, we couldn’t get enough football, and teachers were always happy to encourage you to take part. We went all over the city playing against other schools at the time.
It’s good to see girls playing alongside boys in several sports- rugby being the most noticeable being Wales national sport. Unless the mentality changes in the near future , I don’t see it progressing as they’d like it to. It’s over to the education authorities to make this happen.

malwayne ----the education authorities would rather promote the agenda for pupils to fall in line, not think for themselves, tell them that it is essential to get degrees, that sport is not important, nor is music. A lot of them won't even accept any volunteer help when it comes to coaching sport. I have been DBS cleared and have coaching qualifications, it would cost them nothing but they are not interested.

Such a shame is that sinkov, because playing team sport promotes the ethos of "esprit de corps" and togetherness besides providing the obvious benefits of mental and physical wellbeing.

All very true BT and music is also very important for mental wellbeing and, if playing in ensembles, can also promote the ethos of esprit de corps and teamwork. Sadly, the focus is always now on the individual and that promotes a feeling that only the individual matters and the rest can go to hell. Do you see where the breakdown in society come into this?
Would your parents have relied on the school to give you breakfast? Would you have sent your kids to school without them having been fed and watered? Nowadays, so many parents consider that it is the school's responsibility ------why? -------because they say that they are working and too busy!
Anyway, I digress yet again. The bottom line is exactly as malwayne said, there will not be any progress unless the education authorities promote things and there is fat chance of that happening because they are too concerned with feeding children!
Where is sinkov ----lunatics, asylum etc., etc.

Sure a lot of women don't like football, but they are mainly of a generation that weren't given a chance to do it themselves - and in a patriarchal society it wasn't considered a feminine activity anyway so the kitchen sink robots didn't want it.
Football wasn't a working class sport - it was strictly for Eton-type toffs for a long time, but when working class males were given the chance to play that changed.
Give girls a chance and provide them with role models and before you know it the whole family will be able to go to games and watch jug ears together.

Bt, you can blame him for whatever you want, however, the blame lies with parents absolving themselves from any responsibility towards their childrens' upbringing.
Boris's outburst in 2005 just made himself look absolutely stupid and will always get dragged up in any argument.

My question today is Just who won the European Championship in Womens' Football as far as Sir Keir and several others are concerned? They do not know what a woman is, therefore, my question is very relevant. Just what was our team? Men, women, trans, non-binary?
Please ask your leader.

Well said, Supersub. I am surprised that no one has suffered trauma because everyone has been calling it “Womens’ football”. Clearly a ***ist label that is designed to exclude whole swathes of society who apparently don’t know what a woman is, are one of the 29 other genders identified by the NHS and feel hurt, humiliated and shocked requiring expensive therapy, paid for by the taxpayer.

Who's leader would that be Supersub6? It was this daft old bitch who started the decline in out-of-school activities - you know the one "there's no such thing as society"...
