    Never thought jerseys could be such a touchy subject or that people could be so ignorant over it.

    You know ****ing well it isn't. I can't believe two posts on this page have been special needs and gay bashing.

    People wear what they want. They happen to want to wear something to show their pride in something. There is nothing wrong with that.

    A person from Galway wears a piece of nylon made in a sweatshop in Asia to show your pride in a team from Manchester.

    Right so.

    It's my opinion that wearing kits outside of taking part in a game yourself looks really stupid.

    A whole nother level of stupidity are the sad bastards who go the whole hog and kit themselves out in shorts, socks and the name of their "loike totally fave player".

    I never ever wear jerseys but I don't have this hatred of seeing people wear them like others do!

    Wear my rovers scarf occasionally at the home games I can make but that's about it really.

    STOP THE PRESS!!!

    Benoit Assou-Ekotto has said he might quit Spurs if they don't get into the Champions League. Supposedly he has a 'gentleman's agreement' with Levy whereby he can leave the club if a bigger club comes looking for him.
    "All players want to play this competition," he said. "A few months ago, I said I never wanted to participate in the Europa League, because this competition is useless.
    "If I have to leave Tottenham, it will be to join a club that makes the Champions League.

    Link

    He is perfect for us in my opinion. Great defender and has a wicked cross on him. He'd be a step up from Evra at the moment. He's 28 but give him a few years and blood Fabio as his successor and Bob's your uncle.

    Look there is of course there is an exception for match attendance. However I I see an adult going about his business in a soccer jersey, well. I'll avoid the infraction and say no more.

    You judge someone on whether they wear a football jersey? And is everyone meant to take off their jersey upon leaving the stadium before hiding it away until the next game?

    My days.

    I'm 35 years old, and I, and a lot of my friends, wear jerseys - some more regularly than others, and for a myriad of different clubs.
    Personally I dont see a thing wrong with someone wanting to show their allegiance to the club they support in this manner.

    the whole issue about wearing jersey's and supporting teams from outside your country. The way i look at it is..id compare it to women watching soap operas..following english footy on this side of the water is our soap opera. I see nothing wrong with it..makes for great entertainment, great talking point amoung our peers and 10 times better than eastenders.

    Des and Orondo are just too cool for school. Wear whatever the fook you like and enjoy yourselves. They just have one less thing than you to enjoy in life.

    I don't wear jersey's myself, but I do care what United are kitted out in. When the club bring out a cool jersey then the team looks cool. When they bring out a putrid one like this it means my world is an uglier place for nine months because I end up seeing it every day. That annoys me.

    This.

    You don't HAVE to buy it, you don't have to wear it, in fact, anyone over about the age of 15 wearing a jersey looks like a special needs person anyway.

    Unless they are playing football, obv.

    What an absolute arsehole opinion that is. People should be able to wear whatever they want with out people like you looking down their nose at them.

    Whats the difference between a nice football shirt and a t-shirt? Marginal.

    If you dont want to wear football jerseys because YOU feel like a special needs person when YOU wear them, then dont wear them. But the idea that you are some fashionista that decides who looks stupid in clothes is absolutely hilarious, Beverley Hills 90210, "I am better than you" horse ****.

    A Galway person wears a piece of nylon made in a sweatshop in Indonesia to show their pride in a team from Galway too. Doesn't matter where the feck it's made.

    I like a football club. I want people to know I like that football club so I wear the jersey. This years jersey is crap and I want to complain and so I will.

    Anyway, it was the whole "oh only a person with special needs doesn't know how retarded it looks in a jersey so if you wear one, you have special needs" comparison I really take issue with. Horrible way to put it.

    The 06/07 jersey was the last decent United home jersey. The 07/08 one was not bad either tbf, but the last few have been poor as have the few from 2003 etc.

    In fairness lads that looks to be more of a Shels jumper, it also has his initials on it so I'm guessing he went to coppers after being involved in a match. I don't agree with bashing a picture of himself he put on the internet.

    What he posted was absolutely pig ignorant in my opinion, but I don't think he should be jeered over a photo of him.

    If there's something worse than the argument going on then it's the use of the word "scarleh".

    So it's okay for him to jeer people with 'special needs' then? He was trying to be funny but ended up looking like a right tit. He should be able to handle it.

    The blue will probably be the third and maybe a new white away?

    That seems to be the pattern anyway.

    I think it's different when you go from having a back and forth with only a username as an identity, I wouldnt be happy if someone posted a picture of me who was hiding behind online anonymity and gave me stick for it. Maybe I'm wrong.
