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 agree about the parents but it wouldn't surprise me if the youngsters aren't begging parents to make signs ;)
Sure, I just get a bit tired of being frequently told that my entire generation is full of scrounging beggars. (I'm in my late 20s).

Anyway, if that is the case it's still the parent's fault for going along with it, they should take some responsibility for their children.

And my generation are moaning old biddies who live in the past :)
 
I don't see a problem with kids holding up a sign asking for a shirt. I guess the real problem is why on earth do the TV companies think people at home really want to see these kids holding up the signs

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


Couldn’t agree more.

Surely the old man who tried to use his crutch to snatch the shirt out of mid air and stop the kid getting it is is the absolutely worse cunt and needs to die in a fire.

The coverage encourages it though along with parents who don't know any better.

On a more positive note, is it just me or are half and half scarfs now a bit less of a thing than a few years back? Maybe just as we're not getting as many tourists come to think of it
 
I hate this phenomenen.

It has to be disintegrating to the whole relationship between players and supporters. Players always have to be on the defensive.
 
I really don't like this development - the 'I want, I want' generation strikes again.

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.
