You'd have more to say if it was a drug dealer shot by a cop. We'd be hearing the #'s bleating away.

It was 4 more words of empathy and commiseration than you managed u arsewipe.

I was the one who posted it u dickweed. The likes of you only think it's "tragic" but get outraged when some drug dealer gets plugged and support the lootings and riotings that follow.

I know you posted it.. Without a single word of commiseration or sorrow. You are happy to use this young lady's death to score points on a discussion board when you quite obviously could not give a shit avbout the human tragedy that was her death. A disgusting thing to do, but clearly a defensible position for you.

[Ireland is not pulling its weight in this regard.At a minimum our racial makeup should reflect our nearest neighbours. To say otherwise is obviously racist.]

Ireland is like a racial vacuum and we all know how nature abhors a vacuum.

Racial vacuum? Complete nonsense even by GAABoard standards.

Ireland is the least diverse country in Europe. Ireland is not pulling its weight in this regard.
At a minimum our racial makeup should reflect our nearest neighbours. To say otherwise is obviously racist.

Please stop this nonsense, you're embarrassing yourself.

Can't stand that overpriced, overhyped Apple shíte.

+1.

Couldn't agree more. 

Dyson the same.  Looks great but couldn't suck your...... thumb.

Any updates? Anyone??

I must say I am surprised at some of the vitriolic comments on here against this coach when no-one, including you Molly, seems to be in possession of all the facts about what participation your son has actually had and how he has been treated.

I am fairly certain that this man has been in the same situation with many other parents questioning why their child has not started/been taken off/not been put on/not playing instead of Johnny down the road who is useless. This man is giving up his free time to encourage young people to play our games. I am certain sure he is getting loads of abuse over the sideline and by telephone calls and on social media from irate parents. He is probably not an expert in EO. That doesn't make him a clown or an idiot or a d**khead.

It is unclear whether the issue that your son is unhappy at not getting enough playing time and that you are unhappy that the coach is not giving him a fair chance in matches and in practice and that the coach is acting unreasonably and unfairly in doing this because of your son's autism/dyspraxia, or whether he is being too competitive and playing people based on their ability in his determination to win.

Well if is the latter I will wager that every other player and their parent/s who's son/daughter is not playing full time in their preferred position has exactly the same attitiude as you. You did say that he spoke directly to your son and told him that he was very welcome to train and play with the club and that this undermined you. In what way did this undermine you?

You said your elder son was quite a good player, what would your attitude have been if he had been taken off regularly or not starting when children who weren't as good footballers as him were taking his place? If you werre happy with that you would have been in a very small minority of parents in my experience.

I know from personal experience that anyone who doesn't get playing all the time will be unhappy, I've heard similar complaints about coaches at every level imaginable, including senior. It's impossible to keep everybody happy all the time when there are limited opportunities for participation.

If your son enjoys going to the training and the matches IMO you should encourage him to participate to the best of his ability.

Really Keyser, that is a terrible response, your lack of empathy and ignorance is worrying, please don't tell us that you coach children?

Not at the minute I don't., but I have in the past, though not at U-10.  In my professional capacity I deal with a wide range of kids on the spectrum inc SEN, ADHD, Aspergers, Autism,  Downs Syndrome, Dyspraxia and Dyslexia.

If asking for some clarity surrounding the situation is perceived as lacking in empathy well so be it. I always found that it is the best to get some facts with regard to the situation rather than rushing to judgement based on emotions.

My empathy is with this young lad who loves his football and is begging to be allowed to go to it.

You took no cogniscience of the coaches comments, which are very insightful to his ignorance and his very poor communication skills. An ignoraimous is a accurate summary of his dealing With the the child and his family. Because you work with a range of people who have difficulties does not mean a whole lot, as working with Downs and then someone with Autism is like living in Africa and then in the North Pole, they are absolutely worlds apart in communication needs and how they each view the world and the skills required to engage them in a positive relationship. However I do take your point about clarifying some of the info presented although your manner in doing so again for an alleged professional in this area would worry me more.

What I did do was to ask those commenting to consider that there are two sides to every story and to give some cognisance to the fact that Molly is relating events from her perspective, as indeed she is perfectly entitled to do.  However this man has no right of reply here and is being pilloried without being able to relate his side of the story. To illustrate this I detailed some of the pressures that coaches, even at U-10 level,  are being put under in general. From the information given on this thread already I am sure it is fairly easy to identify who this individual is for anyone from that neck of the woods, and I sure there are people from that club following this story post by post.

With regard to my manner, it is not I who have come on here questioning anyone's character or name calling, I merely asked for a bit of perspective on the situation and stated that IMO the wee man's desire to be involved should be the main consideration.

I do think that my work does give me an insight into waht all the parties - parents, coach, his brother and the wee lad himself - are facing in this situation.

Perhaps you could point out the specific parts in my previous post that are giving you cause for worry?

Are u saying that your son never gets playing at all? Can you define in detail how much participation he has had over the last year in training and games.

Only one name for the Dubs..............Cheeky 

Apology accepted

Don't let it happen again! 

Or satire.....  Whoosh indeed.

No clue how Liverpool allocate their tickets but i'll eat my hat if last night wouldn't have been one of the easier aways of the season to get a ticket for...

Your hat should be fine, mainly because you can't prove a negative. Where I am coming from is the situation that my brother-in-law finds himself in. He never has any problem getting League Cup away tickets but getting FA Cup away tickets is an exercise in torment.

But what if he used a delicious condiment?

I don't see how that would make the process of getting FA Cup away tickets any more palatable.

He is referring to the condiment being used to aid the hat eating, not the process of getting away cup tickets!!!

Tbh I think you knew this fine rightly Deiseach. You are lucky on this occasion that points aren't being deducted.

Wish to **** I had never quibbled about the food issue now, it's taken over the thread lol.

They make great films.
