I'm not :p Never been a drinker, Kate and myself are quite different haha

Seen some pretty horrendous things online over the last 24 hours. Worst one has to be the following statement "The family have said they don't want this, but they don't get to say how we react to a death, their wishes don't matter". That poor family are having to watch all this unfold, they've lived it once and now it's all happening again. Would have been very easy for one of those police yesterday to be killed.. Seen video's of people throwing electric scooters, bricks from above.. meanwhile "influencers" stand at the front trying to live stream it. Not one of those police yesterday deserved that, having to quite litrelly run for their lives at one point from a baying mob. Yes, the one who handcuffed a suspect needs to be deal with appropriately, he got it wrong.. people get things wrong.. but attacking Police won't help. It's hard to have a dignified death when you've been fatally stabbed and lots of people are forgetting the villain in all this is the dick with the knife.

I'd be happy with free's and loans if it helps secure the club financially.

seeing the scenes in Southampton. People just simmering waiting for a kick off, chasing police down and throwing bins at them, there's a rancid powder keg just waiting to go off. Police get things wrong, it's awful and that shouldn't have happened.. but there's no excuse for what's happening.

The ones in Walkden/Farnworth border were modular, Spoke to a guy who was in one of the first ones, said they quite literally bolted together then built around the frame.,

Issue is, often they're not. I've taught NEETS, as part of a learning program to develop their skills, the council tutors help them with life skills, employability skills and IT skills (nothing outside what I teach in a secondary school). The stipulation was they were paid to attend, and so they did, but I got nothing from them, 5 hour teaching day seemed like a week. One turned up purely as "my mums gonna boot me out of I dont". Then there's the ones that don't understand professionalism, why can't I have face tattoos, face full of metal, why can't I sit on my phone, why do I need to dress and look smart, why do I have to start at the bottom. I'm on a good wage now, I can't grumble.. hadn't always been this way and my first job from uni was full time at HMV on minimum wage as I couldn't get a graduate job.. it sucked. Graduates were on 18/19k I was on 12k and had to work evenings and weekends (missed most of BWFCs glory days). Within a year I was a floor manager. Then assistant manager by time I left. Had illusions of grandure in uni and well, that didn't happen. Doesn't matter what you do, you've got to graft to get there but so many young people want the prize without the leg worm that most on here, like myself, will have done in some way.

The army (other armed forces too) male kids credit their GCSEs.. Not saying its right, I'm one of the most inclusive educators around but it's the way it is. These neets are not the ones you speak of doing apprenticeships. For me apprenticeship should be the way forward for most, far better than the college uni route.

Aye.

Anyway, with the current "news" that so many young people are classed as "NEET", it comes as no surprise.. The amount of times I head "they should teach that in school", we do... We're going to have a huge flux of unemployed as workplaces can't meet their needs, in a few years time too.. so it's only going to get worse!

noticed this too.. Army will sort them out.. like we're trusting someone that can't pass GCSE's with a gun.. Had a sixth former tell me they were "over qualified" for McD's.. again, like they're trusting you with food safety when you can't pass maths..

this is why stats are slowly killing football... So he's great at crossing, but shit at passing (unless its a smart pass), can't tackle or head a ball but is defensive, he's pretty average with shots, aside from when they're on target and he's a box to box midfielder thats naff at dribbling.. Just wait and see what's he's like when he gets here, reckon the lad will be ace, big shoes to fill etc..

Pretty much, stepped up a league each season, Bolton fans are very quick to write anyone off tbh, in Schumacher we trust

I'd wager there are a few more than that when people dig deeper, the system's broke which has led to a large influx of foreign migrants. All blamed on asylum seekers mind..

Blimey.. I worked at a school in Bolton, and we had a "mockstead", basically a mock ofsted where the Academy trust big wigs came in and inspected the school. We all stayed late (9pm finish) started early, worked our socks off etc. In the briefing after the head teacher said she was not happy that we work like that for an ofsted but didn't work that hard every day.

Tutu upped his game for a new contract, Worked in our favour and can't fault him
