    Why do we suddenly have three pages of comments on something that happened last May?


    We're Charlton. It's what we do.
  • How do we know that the kid wasnt wearing an Arsenal shirt as punishment for not eating all his dinner the previous night?

    Just saying

    Have people never stopped to think his girlfriend might've been the one that dressed him? It's a match day so he probably left home early...

    Spot on

    Somebody told Harriott he should be on the bench on Instagram yesterday. Then all of this happened.

    Are people upset that it was an Arsenal shirt or just the shirt of another team ?

    What if it had been a Palace shirt ?

    What if it had been a Malmo FC shirt ?

    As for his ability, he was great at the end of the season before last and in that same year got a call up to England U19 - he can't be that terrible can he.....

    Well, back on here at 7am to find more unnecessary insults!

    The majority of you don't agree with my opinion, that's fine, that's what forums are all about, differing views, but as I said last night, I have not abused any one of you for having a differing view to me.

    It's a stupid thing really and pretty insignificant, but it grinds on me that Harriott showed disrespect for dressing his kid in an Arsenal shirt at the last home game of the season. You can make all the excuses you like about his bird dressing the kid etc., but at the end of the day, it was Harriott's decision to parade him on the pitch in another teams shirt!

    Well this minority muppet, has got to go to work, so have a good day you bunch of wankers :wink:

    Sam, don't take the thread off topic. We're having a discussion about toddler fashion I think. I don't know why though.
    Just to add though, my daughter likes a Singer from Argentina called Violetta, and ended up wearing an Argentina football shirt last summer. I remember Maradona's hand of god clearly, and would'nt touch that shirt with a bargepole, but my daughter likes it, so she wears it. The whole 'toddler in an Arsenal shirt' thing is just beyond parody. Can we drop it?

    To try and bring this back on topic... any chance of using him as a makeweight in the proposed/supposed Henry deal? Wolves don't get left short a winger and we knock a little off the price and the wage bill also. Assuming of course Wolves WANT Harriot and he agrees to go, which he may not with a young child that would be uprooted.

    If I'd been asked in advance I would have suggested that his son wear a Charlton kit or no football kit at all. I fear that it is a lack of intelligence or respect that he would think it ok to take his son on the pitch in another club's shirt.

    I wouldn't go out of my way to punish him but it is wrong even if it is a mediocre 'crime'.

    Interestingly, though, it is not all that surprising as I think his problem is a lack of common sense or 'football intelligence'. He has plenty of talent, he has pace, can shoot, can cross and often sees passes, but he seems to make silly mistakes. Either that is a lack of concentration or a lack of intelligence. As he is, he can be a liability. He can, in the space of a few minutes, do something fantastic and then something that has you pulling your hair out. He runs into dead ends, loses control of the ball and often plays ridiculous passes that, instantly, put us in trouble. Then he can go on a speedy run a score or make a goal.

    I think it's time for him to move on. He may well be a huge success in his career but I can't see that happening if he stays with us now. If we can get decent money for him than I would be happy to sell him. However, I'm not sure that a loan deal wouldn't benefit us more as if he can learn to concentrate for longer periods he could come back a much better player.

    Here's hoping Callum can get his Charlton career back on track tonight, with a really intelligent, stunning performance against the posh, that will do him and us, the world of good.

    You disgust me. Think of all those poor Englishman having that argie shirt shoved in their faces by you and your disrespectful toddler. Absolutely disgusting behaviour by the pair of you. I think you should leave this country and go and live somewhere else. Your attitude stinks

    Well that would be most welcome.. But the one gripe I have about Callum is that "intelligence" is not very evident. the whole Toddlergate incident was not (for me) especially insulting or disrespectful, but it wasn't intelligent either. And Callum just doesnt show a capacity for learning/improvement. Seems to be something about wingers - both Green & Waggy seemed in the same vein - head down and run, figure out what to do 20 meters later.

    If you can convince Wolves that they want Callum Harriott then you, Sir, are a master of negotiation.

    Unfortunately there is one mighty flaw in your suggestion... Because we're up against League One opposition tonight there will be those that'll state his brilliant performance will be because that is his level.

    Although he could play a blinder and score a hat trick against Man Utd and people will still claim its only because they're tired from a Champions League match two months ago

    But, for what it's worth; I think it's totaly disrespectful, regardless of who dressed him

    Perhaps Arsenal will put a bid in for Cally Messi's son.

    Our squad is thin, we needed him on Saturday and he did all right, get off his back.
    I have met him briefly, he is a good guy, he is one of our own, and I would say giving him encouragement is likely to be more helpful all round than having a go at him.
    Buena suerte Callum.

    I'm sure he's a nice enough bloke (I don't know him), think it's time he moved on from us and kickstarted his career somewhere else and id wish him all the best.

    Whatever my opinion of him, I just don't think he's good enough to get in our current match day squad and I generally groan when he comes on as he's a bit of a headless chicken really.

    Stupidly as well, the 'messi' thing and the kit thing also annoy me (I know it shouldn't as I'm a grown man and have got far more to worry about in my life) but it does....I think it was very naive

    Just another team. Although I do wonder what everyone saying they don't have a problem with it would think if the kid had been in a palace shirt.

    You ken are a better parent/more mature person than me !
    My son was with his grandfather (father in law) and he purchased the very smart Adidas Argentina away shirt cos my son liked the look of it
    'That' hand of god goal hurt me too much and after one outing in the garden , I gave him a little chat and the shirt hasn't been seen since
    When it comes to football the good school of parenting guide gets thrown out of the window in this household
