Getting youngsters to support Everton.

[Tipp blue]

Coming from the county you do, just get him into hurling, he’ll get far more satisfaction from that than from watching us.

We live on the carlow laois border, neither of which is a hurling stronghold. The Tipp connection is from many years ago.
Might have to stick with the basketball for now, he's just gone 6 and is 4 foot 8 he's a full head taller than the next tallest in his class, I'm 6"4' and my wife is 6" so he'll be quite tall.

Mine can support who they like. But if they want birthday and Christmas presents it better be Everton.

If they want to be fed and have somewhere to sleep, it better not be Liverpool.

My nephew was a blue in his young days as was our family.
But for some unknown reason his dad picked arsenal for him
A twist.
His dad is Irish, proper Irish,and his son got all the kits, has changed allegiance to his country of birth.

Expecting my first born within 24 hours. Already have his kit with him name on. But the more I think about it, am I being a bad father. So I’ve bought him a tranmere kit too.

At that age mate the football/result isn't that important.

It's the whole experience. Take him a few games, the reaction to goals etc will be all he remembers.

In the current climate along with the boo's.

Good luck to you and your Mrs/Partner. Enjoy every moment because your kid(s) grow up so fast...and will hate you for life for introducing them to Everton. But just explain its character building and that they 'were born, not manufactured....'

But can he defend a corner? If so, get his name forward for the Everton Academy

I look at my son lately and have an overwhelming feeling of guilt. He loves them though!

No, he just loves you. The truth will out...eventually!

If he's anything like me he'll have a head like a 50p it could go anywhere. Even at 6 foot 4 I was told not to bother getting into the box for corners at either end of the pitch, I was a left winger and comfortable using either foot, trade off for not being able to head it I guess.

Thank you. And yeah I will say that haha.

That’s child abuse.

Get him in to F1 or some other sport that will enrich his life.
