My little boy is 2 on the 25th, I want to buy him a Swindon kit so he can open it and wear it while I'm at Wembley. My girlfriend says that its really a present for me, not for him. (it'd be an extra present anyway) now I'm getting grief from bro-in-law saying I should leave Jacob to decide. He's a villa fan, his two boys have grown to support Man Utd and Liverpool. Both teams, each boy. Advice, dear TEF, to Shirt my boy or not? Is 2 too young?

Wouldn't say it's too young, but no harm in putting it off. I never went to footy or had any connection with it until I was about 4 or 5, then loved it. Nothing wrong with waiting til he's old enough to decide, then gently influencing his decision  |

Get him the shirt! It's your duty as a good father to make sure he follows the right footballing path! I'll be getting my little un one when he's a bit older!

By listening to your idiot of a brother in law you run the risk of your son growing up fake supporting a Man Utd or Liverpool. Get the shirt and give your brother in law a knee in the balls while you are at it. Tit. |

get it for him. I did for mine at about that age, although he has only started coming to games this year ( at 7 ) The way I look at is my Dad made me suffer all those years by bringing me, why should my boy get away with it  |

Supporting your dads team (especially when it's the team of your hometown) is a tradition of sorts. Then again, I wouldn't expect your in-law armchair fans to understand that though - tell them to do one.

I vote for this as the best answer. |

don't get him a kit, just buy him a voucher for sky for his birthday and he can pick based on what he sees on tv

You are his Dad. End of story.
Your brother-in-law has overstepped the mark and blundered in to an area that is none of his fucking business anyway. In as friendly way as possible (not worth falling out over), I'd let him know that in no uncertain terms.
