I guess you don’t volunteer to be a role model you become one by repeatedly encouraging, inspiring people and making other people feel good about themselves coming from a place of authenticity. youd need a positive mindset, you cant fill others up if your own cup is empty. So a negative, victim mindset and constant negativity would make you a very poor role model. other character traits that would make poor role models are piety, No one wants to be preached at, they need to be inspired if you’ve got someone on your shoulder all the time bleating. Preaching and whinging on about what you should be doing then that’s going to cause resentment and annoyance no one is perfect and most people has a few skeletons in their closet but when you’re trying to build others up to make up for your own past mistake rather than caring for the actual individual then this isn’t authentic and trying to make you feel better about yourself than inspiring others out of genuine empathy for them. as well as piety no pity, not looking as someone who has fallen down the well and looking down at them telling them how bad it must be. the role model gets in the well with them and help them out of it rather than telling the person and others what they need to do whilst not helping themselves for sure it’s not easy and not everyone can do no matter how many books they might pretend to read about it. Certainly it’s needs to be authentic and empathetic whilst at the same time positive and inspiring.

Too bad he’s so bad at it and it usually backfires

Course you have 😂😂😂

thats very funny for you, well done.

Does anyone, apart from himself, take anything he says seriously these days? Considering he tries so hard to be the voice of the forum and a bastion of all things noble he, almost daily, shows himself to be a complete and utter crumpet, the above post another brilliant example, bit like the other day when he thought he'd achieved some sort of victory because he found a thread i started on Andrew Tate, so desperate to get the win he failed to understand the thread was taking the piss out of Andrew Tate.

Apart from the bit where he said he deserves to be in prison you mean? In your desperation to have a dig at one of the usual suspects you didnt even bother reading or understanding what he said What a bitter, odd person you are.

Clearly there is. The media and government will control the narrative they want at that time, im surprised anyone would think otherwise. On the one hand we've got people up in arms about the influence bellends like Andrew Tate have yet at the same time dont see there is a narrative from media they want to force. Im not specifically talking about discipline here but more generally. I'll probably get criticised for this example by certain people but take the BLM stuff, it was drummed into everyone they had to support it, bad if you didn't. If you dont agree with taking the knee you were made to feel like you were racist or there was something wrong with you. Same with Brexit, vote to remain good person, vote to leave thick racist.

I think you'd be surprised, i cant speak for other sports but football the club we are at has 3 teams at most age groups up until U15s, then one or two up to U18s. We have 3 leagues in our age group with 9 or 10 teams per league so in a relatively small town you've got about 400 or so kids just at U12 age playing on a sunday, expand that from U7s up to U15s and it'll be thousands. We also do two other sessions mid week which both are full with about 50 kids per session, again they do age groups from U7s up to U16s i'd say it's more now than ever and the standard is way higher than when i was the same age. But as i mentioned whilst we have strict boundries, other teams dont, i've seen 10-11 year old kids chasing the referee calling him a wanker and a cheat, telling parents of the other team to f*ck off whilst the coaches and parents join in rather than telling the little shits to wind their neck in. As for discipline again it goes back to the parents, they dont accept it because they aren't used to it. Parents seem different these days, rather than when we were young you were told to respect your elders, parents on our estate were allowed to tell me off so were friends parents. Now i swear parents think their kids are gods and cant do anything wrong. Even a friend of ours is a teacher when we told her something her son had done she refused to believe he done anything.

Same for me and I like to think I do the same with my son and also the kids I coach at football. They have boundaries and know any bad behaviour won’t be tolerated. I agree with you it starts with the parents and then there are teachers coaches and adults around who kids can look up to. It’s inspiring, for example hearing stories like Ian Wright when he talks about the guy who was a massive influence on him when he was a kid Unfortunately a lot of parents these days are too busy working to spend any quality time with their kids, not necessarily their fault as cost of living means the days on being able to survive on one wage are long gone. Teachers have no power to discipline any more and as a football coach if you upset any of the precious kids for being out of line to end up dealing with angry parents. Not a problem we have in our current team as we set the standards high but in the last tell one of them off and you’ll be dealing with the fall out for weeks.

It’s what they do Hypo. It’s all controlled and they manipulate the media, entertainment and social media to condition people how they want.

This is what happens when you create a society where masculinity is demonised and traditional family structure and moral values are considered outdated.

Yep that’s the one, good times

Anyone remember Steve Grant being prick on a stick? 😂😂😂

Shite wasn’t he 😂

Who is Ley and why does he/she/them deserve to be burned? Now you mention it when will Blackburns racist name be made to change?

I’ve seen the Courteneers about a dozen times thankfully never at the Guildhall and they are brilliant live Saw Amy Winehouse there and she was very good, Primal Scream around the same time not so much but seen them at other places and they’ve been great

Playing the victim the posting cycle is complete on this thread 👏👏👏👏👏

😂 What utter bullshit!!!! You are funny. I dont acknowledge you for a few days and thou and behold there will be a post from you either responding to me or talking about me. You love the attention. I'm still not sure if you are a compulsive liar, have memory loss or incredibly thick, although i suspect it might be all of the above. It's absolutely hilarious that you've given up with the "got you on ignore" line now after you got caught out bullshitting about it so many times.

she's 59, she's probably someones nan! Still sort of hot in a mumsy type way.

one of the biggest failures of the SR era IMO

From that era Sarah Cracknell from St Ettienne

THIS IS THE GREATEST PERIOD IN OUR HISTORY!

I’m not a U2 fan either, well not post Achtung Baby but went to see them just anyway 20 odd years ago. love them or hate them they put in a good show. It’s the same for me, some people can’t stand me on here but they can’t help respond, usually with aggression and attacks (see SOG and Sue Whistle who despite claiming to have me on ingore seem to know everything im posting and in SOGs case has managed to diagnose me with a personality disorder 😂, whereas Sue just calls me a w*nker from time to time) as I said on an above post it would be very arrogant to think in a world of 8 billion people everyone is going to love you and agree with you so the fact I respond to people who openly don’t like me shows how humble I am and arrogant they are thinking I should be agreeing with them.

don’t need to be desperate 15 laughs today show I am. Remind me how many you’ve got? I reckon I’m pound for pound the GOAT of football forums For someone that claimed only last week that you don’t pay attention to my posts you’re doing a very bad job of it. Or was it yet another lie Pinocchio?

You are James Blunt, nailed on 😜
