    So as a Dad I thoroughly enjoyed watching my oldest football career, we had the usual bantz about kids not being as tough today and me taking the piss out of his luminous green boots etc.

    So he's back from uni and signing to his old club in Welsh Div 1 so a decent standard.

    Training last night and he decided to have an ice bath on advice of the physio to aid recovery, nothing girly about this of course just the new sports science side of things kicking in.

    That's until he adds bubble bath.

    <grr>

    Are modern day footballers big girls or are we all just old?

    Nothing wrong with a bubble bath and you’re definitely old.

    What's drinking got to do with this? You have a problem.

    Bubble bath in an ice bath is acceptable?

    You’re putting a target on your back with them so I’d advise private medical insurance in the ****ing Welsh Farmers’ League.

    Can we get a pic of the boots?

    Ice bath with bubbles is fine but I draw the line at candles and wine.

    More worrying for me is the fact that you still watch your kid having a bath when he must be at least 20. Think I would put bubble bath in as well just to cover my embarrassment.

    Edit: Sorry I forgot you are Welsh. He was probably using the tin bath in front of the fire while you all watched telly.

    You're missing the most important point here which is what was the bubblage or bubble level of adding bubble bath to ice water. Does the bubblage or bubble level not rely upon the heat of the water in the same way that the foam level of soap or shower gel relies on the heat of the water. In that if you want superior bubblage or bubble level then the water needs to be properly hot

    Which division would you say the Welsh division one is equivalent to in England?
