Fairbairn Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/new-school-football-rules-pc-gone-mad/ Political correctness gone mad I tell you!! Some of the things on there are absolutely ridiculous. It would also be good if whoever composed it could pay a wee visit to the English teacher to get the spelling and grammar double checked!!

I have nae idea, but it doesn't have the sound of something that should be allowed on a fitba pitch. The thing is, these same "teachers" will probably be the same ones moaning like fuk about being "overworked" but they still have time to churn out pish like this.

kumnio Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I think a wahoy is spelled wrong, it should be wheyhey. When you make an erse of someone, you shout wheyhey at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the only reason he is able to "hogg the ba" is because he probably IS better than everybody else. We called the greedy wee bastrds. They were always wee.

iainmac1 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 We have a football contract at our school that had to be signed by pupils and parents before they could play. Didn't go into as much detail about the actual play but governed behaviour, basic rules and picking teams etc. It's not that uncommon.

AberdeenAngus Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm not as surprised as others. Some kids today are nasty wee *****s compared when I kicked a ball about at the same ages. Act the big man and take other players out in kick abouts. I assume this is an attempt to stop that. Nothing wrong with a wee shout for a nutmeg though - that is mandatory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just smacks of teachers who want a one size fits all, blanket approach instead of actually dealing with any issues individually and appropriately as they arise. They're scared to actually investigate incidents, weigh up the evidence and make decisions based on their findings. It's a wholesale abdication of responsibility by those who should be intelligent enough and capable enough of dealing with playground nastiness. A very poor state of affairs indeed.

Plenty of times originating from football. It also isn't individual teachers who implement this. Football at many schools is also quite a flash point and leads to many fights, falling outs and problems. It's just a way to try and get kids to play properly and if they don't they sit out for a day or so. Issues are dealt with individually in relation to this. It's no different to class contracts where they agree to the class rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolf_1980 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The only thing that's missing from that, from a South Lanarkshire viewpoint, is "nae moochin". It seems that youth football these days is being run by pompous arseholes who are being allowed to do what they want without SFA intervention. And that's a shame. And detrimental to development in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Couldn't justify a new thread,but my boy (8) got most improved player at his school today. Been training about 4 months and only played about 6 games. The look on his face was a sight to behold when his name was read out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 That's appalling! Is the grammar on display on this 'pupil contract' symptomatic of the standards within the classroom at this school? If I had a kid at this school I'd be quite concerned. Sounds like a primary school populated solely be women teachers who simply can't be ersed with the bairns kicking a ball during breaks & are looking to swiftly get the whole cohort grounded for the session - what a bunch of zoomers! How about a few more: I will not play long bawls I will not say "year maw" I will not play tick-e-tack style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
