Are you the kind of Dad that stands on the touchline bellowing advice to your kids while watching them play sport? Then Jeremy Clarkson has got some advice for you.

In this week's Sunday Times, Jeremy Clarkson's column focussed its aim on the sort of Dads that treat every inter-school sporting occasion as if it's the FA cup final.

We've all seen them - yelling at the ref, barking baffling strategies at their offspring and generally making a berk of themselves. As Clarkson says in the column:

"If your child’s team scores a try, you may applaud but do not - and this is something I witnessed just two hours ago - run onto the pitch, bellowing like a wounded animal, with a red face, a jugular vein standing 6in proud of your neck and your arms held aloft like a triumphant boxer. Because after you have reached the middle of the pitch and sunk to your knees in a puddle of gratitude and happiness, you will realise you are the financial director of a leading advertising agency and you have just made yourself look like an idiot."

It's funny stuff, and you can read the whole thing here
