people who are itching to demonstrate their PC credentials on what is supposed to be a satirical take on 21st century football.
How dull!

Spot on. Also Gwylan's point about three kits which are constantly renewed. Sheep look like rational, discerning creatures when compared to football fans buying the latest brightly-coloured, overpriced, sweatshop-made tat. "Ooh look! It's got swirls!"
The personification of everything that is wrong with the modern game.

people wearing replica shirts not at matches (especially abroad) is even worse than at matches. Ooh look at me this is where I come from. No one thinks anything of you apart from what a tit you are, standing in front of the Taj Mahal or somewhere giving it the thumbs up in your 3rd kit.
Oh kids are excused, obviously, they're SUPPOSED to like stuff like that. My lad always wanted the latest Brighton AND Newcastle kits: home, away, 3rd change and goalkeepers!

or more accurately, if you are over 35. They come from the days when football was good. You are missing the point of this thread!

Black armbands for almost every game now -
"Fred was our boot-boy since 1938, used to whitewash the changing rooms. He died in his sleep last night aged 88 (really? unusual age for someone to die), let's have a two minutes silence for this sudden, tragic waste of such a young life, and then let's dedicate a stand to him. We'll wear black arm bands for six months, and remember, this game's for Fred, the boot-boy who used to cut up the half-time oranges. A tragedy for all concerned"
Player: "My ten year old cat passed away suddenly last Thursday, I'm distraught with grief"
Club: "Ok, black armbands, two minute silence......etc, etc"
It's mawkish, embarrassing, and gettiing more than a little bit tedious. I blame your Liverpools/Newcastles/Manures - worst offenders, then the rest.
(Note to football clubs - people die, so do cats, stop dribbling everywhere and start the f***ing game as normal, for f***'s sake).
I bet they lay black arm bands out on top of each player's kit pile before every game, just in case the striker's Auntie Edna in Australia passes away before kick off.

Unfortunately this is how we 'grieve' now. Everyone loves a bit of fake emotion. The same with people booing their eyes out when they get relegated. NEVER used to happen.
Something went seriously wrong with English society a few years ago, when a significant proportion decided fake crying and insincerity was a decent alternative for dignity and respect, with the bonus being It Shows You Care.
