Shirt beggers- the scourge of modern football

[Carlito Brigante]

Some lovely results this week. That nob head who let his son run on the pitch the other day at Spurs has been banned for three years…..as has the boy

Hopefully he grows up to hate his old man for what he let him do. Great result.

Then this last night



When are people going to teach kids to have some respect for themselves rather than putting them on TV with shit home made signs?

Proper cunts

I really don't like this development - the 'I want, I want' generation strikes again.

I much prefer the vid of the little girl calling to sonny and waving at him. He returned her wave and she was made up. Much more wholesome than begging a shirt. Sums sonny up as well. Love him,just wish his of late form would improve.
It's on the spurs official insta if anyone wants to see it.

Think the ban is harsh especially for the boy. That being said shirt begging is an appalling development. If I had the talent to be a footballing God I think I would deliberately give the shirt to the kid next to him.

The rules are clear. You invade the pitch you get a ban. I was even thinking twice before the last game at the lane. I waited until there was enough on before I thought “fuck it, they can’t ban us all”

I was the same, I was tut-tutting the supporters that initially went onto the pitch, then realised the stewards were helping some people with mobility issues. You've never seen me move so fast, and I managed to get to the half way line, grabbed some of the turf and then went back to my seat

Horrible part of the modern game and society.

Used to be really nice to see a player give their shirt to a kid in the crowd after the game but the signs need burning.

 

[Biff]

This is getting worse and worse sadly. Fucking loads of them yesterday. Awful scenes.

 

[Nutter-Naylor]

Its so their dads can sell them later on Ebay. Another thing to hate about modern football. As if we needed one.

 

[Biff]

I'm sure I read somewhere a while ago that some club had banned them. Needs to be a general rule.

If they have banned them its certainly not getting enforced at the moment.

Obviously the parents fault. TV companies need to stop seeking them out and giving them attention. And any player actually doing it (not sure many actually do) needs to stop.

(No problem any player giving a child a shirt at the end of a game btw - nice gesture. Just needs to be done without several dozen beg placards)

I loved that day. We were unstoppable

I think shirt begging is a bit pathetic actually, it just seems a bit crass to me. The last couple of times I’ve been to watch Spurs there have been a few kids with begging signs in my section. They were all after Sonny’s shirt.

Anyone with a homemade sign needs a season ban

The worst was at Wembley whilst the new stadium was being built.

Woolwich v Spurs half and half scarf !

The cnut selling them got loads of abuse

It's the parents that are the one's making these huge placards and forcing their kids to wave em about.

I don't think a six-year-old has much conception of making placards.

The shirts will be straight up on eBay within a week.

Shirt begging and cringe level

Yeah. Doesn't cost anything to smile & wave, does it? I like the way our players do that. Dele and Sonny are always top blokes in that regard.

 

[meaningless-friendly]

Set up a few snipers in the stadium, any begging signs met with a shoot-to-kill policy. Recycle the dead in some sort of hipsterfied Sweeney Todd pie, big markup for the club.

Levy sells them on the Spurs Shop if not
