Get rid, Get rid, good lad

Anyone involved in kids football who has said the above please hang your head in shame.

Collectively, you are to blame.

kids footy in this country is why we are so bad. We're a joke.

Most dads are out there on the touchline living a dream that they couldn't realise and because of them their kids will never too.

Should be silent touchlines in kids football - anyone who speaks should lose points.

Notts Forest used to have a wall at their academy - every parent had to stand with their back to the wall and keep their gob shut - if the parent mouthed off their kid was out - more of this.

Ok, I was a little drunk after the England game when I started this thread and I can see why some have misunderstood my point.

Basically, my stance is that the way kids are brought up to play football in this country is archaic and a large proportion of parents just want their kids to win rather than develop.

Getting rid in defence is the beginning of why we are so technically inept. Yes, there is a time and a place at the top level to get rid but the kids should be encouraged to try and play their way out.

As for parents not being allowed to shout / speak, most are not qualified to and most do so with aggression rather than encouragement from my experience.
