Is this bad?

Was at a kiddies birthday party at Goals in Eltham earlier today and they wanted to have a penalty shoot out near the end so I volunteered to go in goal so they all got a go.

The kids were only 7 or 8 so I was quite happy to just stand there and wave in the ones that were on target and didn't just hit me. That is until the kid in the Millwall shirt stepped up, at which point I sprang cat-like to tip his pen around the post. The look on the little fellas face almost made me feel guilty, but then I managed to console myself with the fact that I was teaching him a valuable life lesson.

    Don't wear a Millwall shirt in public or people will treat you differently.

    There's a kid when I take my little 'un football on a Saturday morning that wears a Millwall kit and I've been trying to teach my boy to take out the Millwall kid for the last 3 weeks.

    Bearing in mind they don't do any sort of tackling and they're both 19 months old it's taken a while but last week as they were kicking the ball around my boy ran straight for him and wiped him right out, the Millwall kid went flying and my boy carried on playing.

    Was this wrong of me?

    Off_it i think you have shown considerable restraint not to laugh at him afterwards

    Plaaayer, your heartwarming story brings a tear to my eye

    Well done Sir!
    He may have grasped the lesson a little easier if you had run up to him face to face and danced a victory jig, but maybe that might have been a step too far!
    Keep up the good work!

    Well done - would be even better if he cried. How many here would let a little kid wearing a Palace or Millwall shirt score against us?

    Never Mutley. I'd rather die. 
    Well done to both Off_It and Plaaayer, true Charlton passion right there. 
    Kids these days need to learn fast.

    At benicassim festival in Spain a few years ago myself and les says got chatting to some lads and one was Palace. They were doing a penalty shoot out with a beach ball . Les says decided to go in goal and the palace lad took a Penalty which went straight through les legs , cue us waking off rather quickly

    At School I once did an over the top tackle on a kid i disliked. It was a nasty spiteful action and out of character, cos I'm peace and love normally. He got a bruised shin, nothing too awful but I've never forgiven myself because of my intent. So no, don't encourage your kid to kick the shit out of the Millwall or Palarse kids just nutmeg them and dazzle them with skill instead. After all they will suffer enough in their lifetime just being a spanner or nigel...just as we suffer being addicks.

    Really non-pc of you. Even Millwallites deserve to have their human rights respected.  You must track down the child and insist on a re-spotted penalty upon which you make sure to dive the wrong way.Otherwise ol son it's the Hague for thee where you'll be judged by the BGT panel .. may God have mercy on your soul.

     Say it was your young lad, in a CAFC strip, up against a bloke in goal wearing a Millwall shirt: do you think your youngster would get any mercy? No chance!

    Unfortuantely March, my youngster had already blazed his one wide (that's my boy - takes after his dad!) so I was doubly determined that this little Spanner wasn't getting one up on us.

    Childish? You betcha!

    if only players wearing the charlton shirt over the years had the same attitude when faced with a millwall shirt, then perhaps we wouldn't have the worst rivalry record in world soccer.

    What I don't get is why you had to go in goal?

    Don't Goals provide some young underpaid lackeys to do this work laughingly referred to as "ball boys"
