    Bought the new England Jersey today in Dublin,some of my mates are horrified I bought one.

    Is this a common reaction still considering the majority of fans support English teams?

    Then I'd say it's a strange choice of shirt unless you're a. Looking for shock value or b. Trying to make a veiled point about people who support an English club or c. Both.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Some people will think wearing an English jersey is taboo. The fact that there is a thread asking about it is significant. We like to think we are liberal but you wont see a union flag outside a hotel .... or if there is the odd one, it gets discussed at length on Joe Duffy.

    If you're English fair enough otherwise no way should you be putting on that Jersey.
