The last season at highbury, stood at the bottom of St Thomas's, a few gooners were dragging a **** flag through mud, wiping their feet on it etc etc.
I ran over, lighter in hand, as others joined the fun. Just as we started setting light to the fucker, the old bill came over giving the old "Come on, put that out or blah blah blah"......
To a mate of mines eternal credit, his reply of "Come on copper, we only burning a **** flag, it aint like we're burning a ****!!" still makes me smile now!!!!
Get those lighters out boys!!!!!

Yeah, course it does! A few lads having a laugh outside a pub after a few pints when the football's finished makes us just as bad as the Women and Kid beaters from down the road!! Yeah right!!tompfarrell wrote:Doesn't this sort of crap make us look like the Neanderthal Spurs fans?
And OF COURSE it's childish, THAT'S EXACTLY what Football is. We all go to the same place month after month to watch 22 men kick a ball round a field while we sing songs, and we cry after bad defeats(Paris) and have the hump for days!!
Jeez, with Attitudes like that you should be applying for a stewards job...

Goonermc,
You're hardly comparing like with like!! I don't know about you but I don't consider going to watch football and supporting my team as childish!!
At least there is something to be gained out of going football (the feeling of belonging, loyalty, committment, entertainment, pride, joy on the good days and sadness/anger on the bad days etc.etc.) whereas what is achieved by burning a rival's shirt? And who exactly does it benefit? On that basis you could use the same excuse for any form of anti-social behaviour - because that's what it is!!
I repeat, it's time people that participated in that sort of CHILDISH behaviour grew up and got themselves a life!!
