Are you a football hipster?

[Fowllyd]

Try taking this quick test to see just how hip you are:

I like their choice of player photo for this - he's clearly the hippest thing in football!

Nope. YOU'RE NO FOOTBALL HIPSTER! You like goals, goals, goals, pronounce Milan as Milan rather than Mee-lan, and quite frankly you're not really sure you'd recognise a false nine if one came up and shook you by the hand. You've got some work to do. Start of with a video of the 1991 European Cup final between Red Star Belgrade and Marseille and work from there.

 

Can't argue with any of that. Also I don't have a clue what a Football Hipster is!!

37 - A bit of a hipster apparently, I'll take that.

CONGRATULATIONS! You say Italian teams in an Italian accent, love stories of tactical innovations of the 1950s and prefer a well-executed lateral five-yard pass to a 30-yard screamer into the top corner. YOU'RE A FULLY FLEDGED FOOTBALL HIPSTER!

 

Does that mean I'm like Turkish? I need help, fast

[Smirking_Saint]

You scored 40 out of a possible 60

 

Close but no cigar – YOU'RE A BIT OF A HIPSTER! You love a bit of tactical talk and wear your 1991-92 St Pauli away shirt with pride, but deep down there's part of you who prefers a cavorting mess of a 4-3 to a well-disciplined 0-0. You heathen, you. Still, you're well on your way to zen-like hipsterdom

 

Probably about right TBH

28 for me! I had myself down as a bit of a hipster but maybe not..

[John Boy Saint]

29 Guess I am a bit of a blunt instrument then.

 

That is another nail in my coffin under the New Order ideal of Fans suitable to pass through the turnstiles at SMS, as is being muted in a thread on the main board.

I watched that cup final with some French colleagues (I was working in France at the time) and if I never see it again it will be too soon

[Hatch]

is it better to get a low or high score?

I think if you want to be a wanky, pretentious, neo-modern football fan then a higher score is better...

Somewhere in the middle. Football hipsters tend to ****y nobheads.

[RonManager]

I've just had another go and managed to get the score down to 20, can anyone beat this?

You scored 17 out of a possible 60

Well, this is rather troubling. You've got some serious work to do. YOU COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM FOOTBALL HIPSTERDOM! You think Messi is better than Xavi, couldn't care less how you pronounce Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and probably want your team to play "with a big man up top" and "stick it in the mixer" when they're 1-0 down with a minute to go. You neanderthal, you.

I was quite proud of a 22 but 17 blows that clean out of the water. Chapeau Sir, chapeau...
