Lord Bracknell
On fire
One of the joys of the Dripping Pan is the fact that away fans aren't segregated from the home fans. I can't help but think that tetchiness about who wears what shirt simply undermine this.
No, you probably wouldn't and nor would I, but my six year grandson does (he lives up there). Ah, the innocence of youth!Probably, but I wouldn't walk around Croydon in Brighton shirt.
There's a difference between wearing a shirt round town and going to your rivals game, that doesn't involve your team, and deliberately identifying yourself as one of "them". I wonder how long you'd last at a Rangers friendly in a Celtic shirt or a Spurs friendly in an Arsenal one.
Either you get it or you don't.
Hope someone slit the c*nt's throat.
There was one at the cricket a couple years back,about a month after the ***** had beaten us in the playoffs,He got read his horoscope,he wore the top for a reaction and ****ing got one.
I'm amazed there aren't dozens of deaths in Manchester every week.
People are too busy slipping over on the perennially damp pavements to have time to think about killing each other. Left foot down then steady right foot down (that kind of thing). #grey skies.
Seriously, why would anyone do that and then feign surprise when people called him a c*nt?
He clearly wore it for a reaction and he got many yet appeared surprised by the comments. Utter attention-seeking knob jockey. Surprised if he didn't end up getting slapped even after he saw sense in the second half and covered up. Would I wear a Brighton top to a Dulwich Hamlet v Palace game? No, I'd have a bit of respect. C*nt.
And yes, I did call him that to his face
But then again he was only going to a Brighton game, so he knew he was safe.I saw the particular individual in question on the way to the game as we were parking the car.
Now I don't subscribe to showing hatred for rival fans and wouldn't begrudge anyone their right to freedom of choice, but this silly plonker obviously thought it quite amusing that he was wearing this top. That on its own is one thing, but he did have 'Murray' printed on the back.
Surely anyone with half a brain and the fact that they only had one mate with them, would think that they were chancing their arm if they would have run into the wrong folk.
I have to say, he didn't look particularly imposing or that blessed with brains. Pure attention seeker.
My sons ref yesterday had a palace tattoo on his neck so we had a chat about palace! Need to relax about this Palace Brighton thing its all about 40 years too late
I'm amazed there aren't dozens of deaths in Manchester every week.
Geesh. Aren't Brighton fans above all this aggro, by now?
Take the guy's money, laugh at him. Have a drink after..
End of.
But then again he was only going to a Brighton game, so he knew he was safe.
I'm struggling to understand how fans can be so outraged by this but not actually, except for some naughty words, do anything.
It's all very well citing North London, Glasgow and Manchester in defense of being incandescent with rage but it seems a little odd:-
'You can't wear that shirt because other people in a similar situation would be so outraged they'd duff you up'.
'Luckily for you we're not like those so all I'm going to do is use inappropriate language'.
That takes 'hold me back' to a whole new level.
