Villa fan he may be but a completly useless dad if he is going to allow his son to choose another team.
IT'S NOT A MATTER OF CHOICE PRIME MINISTER!

I'm not sure what is more depressing, our recent run of form or the connection to old ham face.

Cameron is a fan as he is related to William McGregor; a former Villa director and founder of the football league; there is a statue of him outside the ground.

Just in case anyone was under the illusion that he actually is a Villa Fan:

Many of those who have spoken in the debate or have written about the subject are either lawyers or football fans, but I have to confess that I am neither

I don't have a child but if I did and took one to a Villa-Chelsea game only for them to tell me they were now a Chelsea supporter, I think that would be just about as bad as it gets. I think a course of brain washing would be in order. The Bells are Ringing on loop on a low volume while they slept perhaps.

That would probably make me support Chelsea!

He's not really a football fan is he?  He smacks me as one of these post 1996 bandwagon jumpers who links football with some kind of credibility.

Give him a break.  Politicians get enough shit (maybe rightly so) for their day job.  He has a liking for Villa & makes a few innocuous humorous comments when asked about it.  What's wrong with that?

I may not agree with his politics but I find his comments about Villa always pretty funny.

If he wants to remain a Villa fan the least he could do is include; the introduction of the standing areas and reverse the draconian law of being unlawful to have a drink whilst in sight of the playing area, in his next manifesto.

If he said he was a Man U fan then he'd be getting slagged for that too. This really isn't a big deal, and is completely separate to his political position. Villa fans come in all shapes and sizes, colours and creeds etc etc. The more the merrier is what I say.

Consider yourself lucky.  I was up in Scotland at the weekend and there was a bit on the news about them trying to overturn the law that does not allow them to drink in grounds up there!

I'd certainly give him a break. Maybe several. After all he deserves all the crap he gets for what he and his 1980's tribute government have put people through the last 5 years.

What would you suggest? Beating them until they like the same things that you do?

Fair enough.  I think the only question mark is whether he is a proper fan (whatever that means?) he could make more of an effort to get to some games, and I don't want to hear any of this 'he's running the country' bollocks!  Because we all know he isn't really...

I'd suggest teaching them the importance of supporting their local team
Title: Re: Cameron on Sherwood
Post by: Dave on February 20, 2015, 12:16:58 AM
That's a perfectly sensible thing to do.

And if they choose to completely ignore you (as children are wont to do), then that's also fine.

*incidentally, by local, presumably your lesson only works in your favour if they are growing up within a seven mile radius of Witton? Otherwise won't your lesson be about how being a Villa supporter would be wrong and that they should be West Brom, Walsall or Tamworth supporters?
Title: Re: Cameron on Sherwood
Post by: myf on February 20, 2015, 12:30:54 AM
Yep it's fine but don't encourage it by buying them expensive replica shirts for the usual suspects.

Perhaps I should have said local teams. I'd rather my son's supported blues than Chelsea

I'm now starting to worry that that isn't the correct course of action for a parent to take.
