Half Scarves

[6TimesaRed]

Epitomises everything that is wrong with modern day football..

It seems the Match Day is no longer geared towards your typical fan, but tourists..

They are turning up everywhere... for any game..

Would I want a Liverpool and other team Half Scarf ???? no fecking way...

If you want a souvenier of the game, buy a programme or something... but pack it in with these stupid Half Scarves !!!

 

[Silver Sean]

Absolutely. Utterly hideous. Had a go at a mate of mine for allowing his son to buy a half Liverpool half Blackburn one when they went to the FA cup game. 'But it's a souvenir' came the reply.
Painful.
Sure, if you're Forest Green Rovers fan or a Mansfield fan and you want one for your trip to Anfield, knock yourself out, but for a red to buy one for ANY game at home is an abomination. Right up there with videoing Gerrard taking a corner.

^Exactly This..

I get a big European Game maybe.. but there seems to be reason to buy one for every single game..

They are just fucking painful.. Why would you want to wear the colours of another club ?

What Dad, with his kid staring up into his face is going to deny the kid because he doesn't understand tribalism yet?

Let kids make a few mistakes, they'll turn bitter soon enough.

Personally, I'd dropkick the kid and tell him to wise up.

And what do they DO with all of these scarves? Tie them all together so they can climb out the bedroom window and run away?

If you've just been drop kicked by your Dad you might be on YouTube learning how to tie a noose.

Its always amusing to spot a half scarf wanker

That reminds me, I must read Portnoy's Complaint again.

they are in the same class as "bus wankers"

Cut them in half. Then you have two scarves for the price of one, handy for these austere times.

His son is 17. No excuses. and my old man told me the realities when we went from when I was three. Never did me any harm!

Nah, assuming you only keep the LFC halves, you're then getting one scarf for the price of two.

Could sell the other half to the fan of another side

Yep. Find two sets of midgets.

It's a lucrative market I bet

 

[Mamma Mia]

This definitely seems worthy of outrage.

Are you sure?

How is trying to be reasonable on the internet going for you?

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Half scarves are for fake fans.

I'll stick to wearing my full kit and shinnies to matches thank you very much.

 

[Farkmaster]

Someone should make a quilted blanket out of half scarves and drape it over a Scandinavian on an armchair. Post the picture and watch RAWK explode.

People struggle with live experiences anywhere, as any concert will show you. It's its own punishment. I'm watching this show on my little screen, it's almost like I'm there!

This is it.

Parenting advice - start indoctrinating educating them as early as possible & that goes for their friends as well. All my lad's mates knew from pre school days that if they turned up for a play date in a Utd or Everton shirt they would be told to take them off of go home - its hard when you see a 3 year old in tears, but needs must.

Likewise my son knows full well that if ever I see him with a rugby "ball" in hand he will be mercilessly abused and probably taken out of my will. That is also hard as we live in Clare, where they seem to follow rugby almost as closely as the hurling.

He is now 14 and lives for football (or soccer as we have to call it here ... 🙁 ), tolerates no mancs or bitters and has recently taken to skipping (GAA) football matches in favour of soccer (sic) training. So proud

Oh & speaking of half & half, check out this embarrassment, spotted by a friend en route to the Arse match :

Is that Ronald McDonald?

Either way, hopefully he stumbles a bit to his right.
