Rev Algenon Stickleback H oldebiscuit ben, are you one of the 'inflatables', 'jesters hats', or 'face paint' merchants that have all contributed to showing the world what a bunch of twats English football fans have become? I bet you just love that 'pre-match huddle' and the PA command to shout 'URZ'.
I don't like jester hats or facepainting - fine with inflatables on the last day - but to me, if there's anything showing the world what a bunch of twats English football fans have become, it's the "football fan fundamentalists" who quote from the holy book of football fandom about what true fans wear, and how they behave, and death to all heretical non-believers.
Actually rev you have a good point, but my criticism is not really about hats, paint or inflatables, but those that choose one and then condemn another as plastic for that choice. I say wear your hat, or paint, or wave an inflatable if you wish (this is a free country) but please don't do one and slag of some one else for doing one or two of the others, which is where this thread originated from.
Personally, i despise all three, but i accept peoples freedom of choice and hope that some of the daytrippers that came to wembley and were the target of this threads abuse followed and attended games during the past season despite moronic condemnation from what may appear as 'fellow plastics' that wave inflatables.
