Christ I'm sorry I brought up the Newcastle jersey now. Like I said I thought it was a silly thing to do at a game that involved Sunderland with an opponent other than Newcastle. I didn't want to start a debate over the rights and wrongs of wearing other jerseys.
I was at that pats game, funny as hell!
In fairness, it just set off a memory with me, also gave me a chance to point out the obliviousness of some fans of UK football fans :)Quote:

But chances are that that kid from Dublin would struggle to point out Newcastle on a blank map of England, let alone know anything about their local rivals. Such is the muppetry of those with 'borrowed interest' in the premiersh!t

Which leads me to believe something funny is going on.
Are the turnstile meters audited?
The Newcastle jersey subplot reminds me of a conversation I had with a Dutch acquaintance around 2002. He was a supporter of NAC Breda, and one of those deluded continental type with a romantic attachment to all things Irish.
Anyway, NAC were due to play whoever emerged from the Coleraine vs. Troyes tie in the next round of the InterToto Cup, and my friend calmly announced that he had his tricolour (which accompanied him to all Dutch league games) already prepared. I advised caution, but he was oblivious. He then stunned me by revealing that the tricolour had the phrase "Our Day Will Come" emblazoned across it, apparently a translation from a line in the NAC club anthem.
Fortunately Troyes won.
Do a goodle for the Breda fanzine de rat, a fair few of them came over to watch Pats a couple of times and carry Irish tricolours everywhere. never seen republican stuff...

You're legally obliged to give a receipt (and a ticket will suffice) for any monies received
