He was stabbed in both legs, Scotty. His condition is said to be very serious, although thankfully his Mum is recovering.

my mum just phoned me and said that the police have an 18yr old in custody for it.

All the best for Calum and his mum, all the shit imaginable to the 18 yr(if guilty).

update: the boy detained is 19rs of age - not that it makes any difference....just hope that callum is able to play football again.

stu,
since the government stopped national conscript to the army to turn boys into men and teach them respect IMHO.

A little more than 19 years ago, I breathed a sigh of relief when it was abandoned, in 1960.

A very sad story, I hope he and his mum will fully recover.

big h,

and look how you have turned out !!
i rest my case........

only joking

I wholeheartedly agree that a large proportion of the youth of today need National Service to teach them some respect.
The right of a parent to give a clip round the ear is also part of the problem IMO. I had many a smacked arse as a boy and rarely had the belt taken to me. It hasn't scarred me physically or mentally. I also remember the local bobby on the beat pulling me to one side for riding my pushbike on the footpath. I accepted it and learnt a lesson. I overstepped the mark and got what was coming.
As a result I have never been in trouble with the police, and try to show respect to others. (At least if they deserve it.)
The youth of today seem to be able to do almost anything they like, and appear immune from punishment. I recall a few of my contemporaries as being a little dodgy, but some of these young thugs just seem downright evil. Perhaps my memory is a little rosy but I really don't think it is.
Regards,
Steve.

The worst thugs on the streets of my youth...Teddy Boys most ex-national service lads.
They were civil and trained thugs though......not!

I read in one paper today "It was over a family dispute"

Calum didnt like his sisters boyfriend and the company she kept by all accounts.
boyfriend objected and went round to mums house with other mate where the attack took place.
poor bloke may lose a leg over it.

calums pregnant sisters boyfriend being charged today. no wonder calum objected to her boyfriend if thats how he behaves. brave bloke as well stabbing his mum too! the mind boggles.
