I was on here earlier on today keeping tabs on the match and quite pleased that we went in at half time winning 2-1. I've just come back to find that we ended up losing 3-2, but by most accounts played well and can consider ourselves a bit unlucky. But on here it's the usual blame culture - Pardew, Weaver, half time team talks, they're all to blame apparently. Well quite frankly I don't really give a shit. You see it really doesn't matter, it's not worth winding yourselves up about.
At about the same time Birmingham were scoring today, a garden wall collapsed on my son. He's 5 years old. How he has managed to get away with no broken bones and just some scrapes, cuts and bruises is an absolute miracle. It happened right there in front of my eyes and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it other than get to him as quickly as I could and free him from the rubble. We then had to endure over three hours sat in casualty with the absolute arse end of humanity staggering around us, drunk, spoiling for fights, shouting and acting like general c**ts - and this is early evening, not after chucking out time.
So, listen to me and listen good. All of these petty squabbles, agendas and the like don't mean shit. By all means people should discuss things - it's what this site is all about - but please realise that life is a precious thing that can be taken away in an instant. Surely we've all got better things to be doing than wasting time slagging others off?
Anyway, listen to me, don't listen to me - frankly I don't really care. I've got a beer on the go and I'm just happy that my family are all still in one piece.
Football? I like it. Charlton? They are my team. What does it mean? Nothing really, nothing at all.

You're perfectly right in what you say. I've given-up getting angry about the situation - I just let it pass me by & feel a bit disappointed instead. I had a VERY near death thing a few years ago - it gives you a different outlook on life.
Anyway, getting to my actual point....if anything like this happens again (God forbid) and you're not sure of any possible internal injuries (a gashed leg etc. is pretty obvious), always call an ambulance. Your boy will get a high level of care straight away & will be triaged as soon as he gets to hospital. I know, amongst sensible people, there's a bit of a reluctance to call an ambulance for what seems like a non-emergency, but this is the sort of thing they're there for. If in doubt, call 'em out!
Glad the boy is OK.
Just like Charlton eh? Although things go wrong and we pick up a few scrapes and bruises along the way, the club will carry on. Every once and a while we need a bit of grand perspective.
The little treasure has been whacking me with it all afternoon, and I wouldn't want it any other way!
:-)
Glad to hear he's chirpy again ...... now he's feeling better he'll milk it for all it's worth.
And so he should!
Glad all is ok and yes it does put football in perspective.
In the greater scheme of things it isn't mate.
