We had a career's class once a week, if you hadn't found a job or at least applied for a one, you got strapped. Plastered around the wall's in bold letter's were what employer's didn't want, people with ASTHMA was one example, that set me off on the wrong foot straight away, definitely felt a 2nd class citizen.When I left school they just told me to fuck off and find a job, am I missing something here ?
Same here when I said I might stay on, it didn’t go down well but I think they knew I was taking the piss.Same here Andy.
I asked one of the teachers if he thought I should stay on for another year. He actually said "fuck off, you're joking". I was... Left school on Friday, started work on the following Monday.
I guess playing for Liverpool wasn't an option to you? You'd have been welcomed with open arms!We had a career's class once a week, if you hadn't found a job or at least applied for a one, you got strapped.

You stated, 2001, a lot has changed. However, not many kids make it from the thousands at English Academies. Our Club provides excellent education options and sports training, further support on being released is also provided. The biggest role models for these kids should be parents but we’ve all seen them at kids football thinking their children are going to be the next Beckham without any idea of their actual ability.Well, I’ll be amongst the first to give the benefit of the doubt to the club, especially given the shit we get , so let me just put that one to bed straight away, and rags etc, I tended to dismiss straight away for obvious reasons, but when it’s genuine , level headed staunch blues (independent of each other) who know how it works, and say the club were very cold and hard compared to others, you tend to listen, and for a good while it was a common theme.
Other clubs do it too, I know one personally who was with the dippers from 8 and dropped unceremoniously, now with Blackpool.
Feel free to disagree.
He must have an unprecedented level of contacts to know so many staunch level headed Blue’s AND parents of other kids released from clubs, or is he just stating empirical evidence from his time at the Job Centre in 2001 when the Club was a completely different entity.Perhaps - but you must remember that 50odd thousand of our fans don’t know these “level headed staunch blues” so hence it’s hard to take it all as gospel
The blokes a complete knobhead. Conn by name Conn by nature.“For generations UEFA has been regarded as a model of good governance.”
David Conn has actually written that in all seriousness in an article which doesn’t once mention Michel Platini.
I told my school to fuck off..... and you're not sticking that cold spoon under my ball bag ever again!When I left school they just told me to fuck off and find a job, am I missing something here ?
Yup two guys there. 1 of them clearly apologises. The other guy just pushed him in the back of head, didn't apologise but that wasn't violence when compared to actual violence.You must be watching a different video to me. The guy in grey (20 secs on the Video) who purposely makes contact with Olsen in the back of the head quite clearly does not apologise.
