Sour Mash Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 What a fecking ridiculous proposition. No-one in their right mind gives a flying f u ck what the fans wear. And anyone who thinks otherwise is sectionable. Well obviously the people that dressed up in fancy dress etc "give a flying f u ck" otherwise they wouldn't have bothered and would have just worn their every day normal clothes. And those fans that choose to wear their club shirts and scarves obviously care and make an effort to dress differently, at sometimes significant cost, when going to the football compared to what they would normally do. And you think these people are "sectionable"? Shame on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank's cousin Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 No-one is talking about the 1980s (apart from Frank's Cousin's obsession). We just don't want Westwood type characters representing our club. ...you dont do irony do you.... The whole point of my argument/opinion is that I am NOT obsessed with any era in football culture - I am happy for it evolve naturally as these things do - its the whole basis of your argument that fans should not be seen expressing themselves as they see fit, because it goes against some fictional code of what fan culture should be... something that it only ever was in reality for a short period in time between the 80s... and because you worry about what some other equally narrow minded fans think it should be and wrap it up as 'pride' to give intolerance and ignorance some kind of artificial respectability..

Give it to Ron Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 No I don't, but thanks for asking. I take it from your reply you would like a load of Westwood type characters representing us. Odd. They don't represent us...thats the bit you don't get. The players do...fans just go and support and EVERY club has a mixture of supporters, didn't you see the two Mancs dressed as smurfs on Monday night? I couldn't gve a toss what anyone thinks - I don't care what anyone does in any other fan group or team. If some want to go to games dressed as Coco the Clown, Papa Smurf or the family dressed as Teletubbies near me on Saturday so be it - not for me but then again I am a scruffy bastard anyway and not so obsessed or needy on labels I have other priorities in my life.

ericb Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 This argument is incredibly circular, and people are using classic debatting techniques of changing the point & arguing the person rather than the subject, not too mention the new internet one of going for grammar & spelling rather than the point. A few things that i'd like to try and add (without getting into the circle) though; Firstly - fancy dress last game of the season was always fun but the big difference i think was that it was (let's be honest) a bit ****. The difference now is that there's so much effort made. Secondly - the point of Class, it seems to me getting dressed up to get ****ed is actually pretty working class. Any of us that've been to the darts will know that. Thirdly - the truly bizarre idea that not wearing fancy dress is in some way linked to violence. Straight away i should point out you've actually contradicted this point by saying lads in the 80's used to dress up for the last game and still get into rows. Second to that the idea that those of us who find it embarrassing want violence is beyond prejudiced. In fact for me the most important people in the ground are those in the later years that have supported us through thick and thin. Now my argument still remains, what we lose really is Soul (as noun if you like) since we are co-opting what little culture and fashion we have to an expected type of behaviour. We become consumers of the new breed of this football rather than shaping it ourselves - hence why i thought the Stretford end video was so good - and with that a very important part of this thing we love dies. I'm not saying everyone should dress the same, i'm not even slagging off those that wear colours, i just don't want everything to become a bland pastiche of what fan/terrace culture is about. And that is something i do think we're in real danger of in this country. Mind you i suppose it's symptomatic of a far bigger malaise in society, there are very few sub cultures left that haven't been branded and sold back, and it's why i'm so protective of this football culture because it is ours and it is special. Again i'll highlight german fan culture which is immense, powerful, loud and meaningful. But then germany in general seems to know how to get things right rather than sell their soul to the highest bidder. Oh and one last point, i do think this forum is the wrong place for this argument. Saints web has long struck me as a very strange place, you only need to look at the amount of people that seem to form opinions of the game based on what amounts to a giant spread sheet to see that it's not really a great cross section of society. So to cod psychologise myself what maybe we see here - older heads aside - is a place full of a certain type of person at school. The geek/outcast, for whom people like those that want the link between music/football/fashion that make up the side of the argument i sit on, are the enemy. The bullies. The people they felt ostricised them at school.

As a quick aside (since it's my last post) is it a surprise that football songs are so stale and bland now? It used to be the case that there was a proper sub culture tied up in it and you knew that if you stole from a certain type of band the majority of the ground would know where it had come from. We really are accepting football becoming another commodity, a lifestyle to be sold by sky and acted at, and that's a sad, sad fu.cking thing.

shurlock Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 Can't believe i'm using my last post for something that is fairly self evident, but we're losing our culture. Or more to the point we're selling it. More people should care about that but i don't think they do. Don't forget this is a culture that's given us music from Madness to New Order to Oasis and Blur. As a quick aside (since it's my last post) is it a surprise that football songs are so stale and bland now? It used to be the case that there was a proper sub culture tied up in it and you knew that if you stole from a certain type of band the majority of the ground would know where it had come from. We really are accepting football becoming another commodity, a lifestyle to be sold by sky and acted at, and that's a sad, sad fu.cking thing. F**k me, mate - I'll go and read the guardian or watch bbc2 if I want this frankfurt school mumbo jumbo. Of course, you forget to mention that casual culture is probably more guilty of cynical marketing and commodification than any other part of football. Many of the people who are railing against the sky machine don't realise that they are mugs in their own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legod Third Coming Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 Unless they didn't go to public school or if they happen to put any thought into what they wear to a football match. Where does this attempted superiority complex come from? I go to games and get on with people from all backgrounds and walks of life, it's a pity you can't do the same, you'd enjoy it much more. How early do you get up to be this thick? It's a genuine talent. You're making my points, arguing against yourself and you can't see it? Or can and are an obtuse, obnoxious little troll.

It's amazing how many people cannot hold a knife and fork properly. My old dear was a stickler for table manners and because of that I also judge people on it when i'm out.
