When you’re in sole charge of your own child it’s called parenting.

No - I call it what I want to call it, it’s all the same thing. Get over it, it’s no big deal is it?

All the letters that we put on this forum are in little groups. They’re called words. Each word has a pre-agreed meaning. If you use established words for different meanings that you’ve just made up, independent people with their own minds will feel free to challenge you on that. Don’t be a snowflake. Be more resolute. Like a millennial.

Unless they’ve kept you up all night leaving you in auto pilot for the next day. I’d happily admit I’ve been relegated from parent to babysitter on quite a few occasions by that.

Thought August 1st was the new April 1st when I read this last night - our best player and biggest asset unavailable due to babysitting and it’s not even his own f***ing kid! I’ve been impressed with Ramsey so far but what’s he doing coming out and saying this (if he indeed did)? This is fully Sunday league stuff and just about the most pathetic - not to mention embarrassing - excuse I’ve ever heard of for a player being unavailable. When I played village stuff we had the odd player crying off to accompany their wife to go Christmas shopping but I’m not sure that tops this fiasco.

Not being funny but where the bloody hell is Rooskens partner and what about the partner of BDK? Can’t she help out? Tyler’s baby caused a lot of unnecessary commotion but this kid of Rooskens has knocked spots off that.

10/10 no notes

It’s really hard to parent when you also have to escort your wife to Sainsburys these days. And if your boss finds out you’re tired from babysitting, he will sack you instantly whilst simultaneously laughing you out of the room.

There’s more to this than meets the Eye! You would like to think that BdK would be playing in friendlies so as to show his fitness and put him in the shop window so prospective buyers can assess him , this is of course if it’s true he really wants away ! It’s about time the supporters had more information about the clubs comings and goings on, and let’s be fair , the money footballers are on Ramsey excuse for the absence of BdK could easily be addressed by employing a temporary Nanny come house keeper! Don’t pull the Wool over the supporters Eyes Mr Ramsey tell the truth and SHAME THE DEVIL , not convinced that your breath of fresh air you have bought into the club is not purely fresh . Am I wrong, should we not delve deeper into the questionable?

You’ve always got such a chip on your shoulder haven’t you?

It’s a bit of pedantic banter, chill out for god sake!

Never has a forum member had a more apt profile name!

Well technically babysitting should be classed as a 2nd job, so if it’s interfering with your main job…bye bye!

When you say you're not being funny, trust me you are. But probably not for the reasons you think

Clearly Ramsey is saying something with an element of truth in it to hide from the real answer that BDK is probably trying to sort out a move. That way, Ramsey isnt coming out with a lie. People do this all the time in real life.

It’s actually ‘Toys 'Я' us’ so I think you’ve made that up…

Probably this.
I don’t think it’s a massive deal as BDK must be a long way from being ready to play any significant minutes anyway, probably better of training at the moment anyway.
If he stays or goes he isn’t going to be up to speed till September anyway, hasn’t played for ages.

Hope this helps..

babysitting:

Babysitting means watching and caring for a child while their parents or guardians are away, usually for a short time and as a paid job.

 

[forevayella]

I thought Currie came across well in his interview after the game. Seems like a postive and infectious character.

What do you reckon BDK is charging the Rooskens per hour then ? Don’t forget Saturday afternoon rate too ….

 

[MJB]

Can't say I've ever seen that. I need to pay more attention.

Don’t wish to dig him out particularly, but Vaulks is often verbally unpleasant to referees and their assistants during games. Not exactly unique, and a small thing in the greater scheme of things, but it does strike me as slightly disappointing given his commendable commitment to mental health off the pitch.

‘Usually’ is a word that means “most of the time, normally, or in the way things often happen”.

 

[Basham Wonderland]

I've heard he also picked up some nipple cream and a breast pump. Good to see him nesting - hopefully he won't want to uproot his life too much during this special period.

 

[The Mighty Aldo]

If BDK is going, the club taking him is taking a bit of a risk.
He’s just come back from a shoulder operation and has had no pre season.Shandon Baptiste took ages to get back to where he was before his shoulder injury Even if he goes right at the end of the window he’s not going to be match fit
I think his best bet is to get fit force his way into the team and start playing well. Then he will be able to get a move in the January window. This should also coincide with Roosken being able to look after himself.
Win win situation

And didn't Mothercare go bust several years ago??

I’m a lot of things but not sure having a chip on my shoulder is one of them !!! Look at all the stuff I’ve been called on here over the years, water off a ducks back !! Arguing and debating stuff is one thing, being offended by it is another !

Maybe you and Colin B should meet up for a really serious pint, he seems to be anti fun as well!

 

[Digby]

When a footballer turns up for training you wear suitable clothing not an apron and a pram not forgetting

Did you really need to drag your feud with @Colin B onto this thread.

 

[tonto]

Top thread havent laughed so much in ages on here. Encouraging sounding start to the season. Bradney sounds very promising being the secret child of Brad Pitt and Britney Spears must be a help,hes not called Leo by any chance is he?!

Exactly this.
