There's more chance of seeing a
half-and-half Israel-Palestine scarf tonight....
...no, that's right, of COURSE there wouldn't... 'cos THAT would be ridiculous!!
Joking aside (not that I was joking about the Gaza conflict) but even the notion of a half-and-half scarf is abhorrent...
However, I CAN see (just about) the market for it for certain situations, like one-off tourist fans who want to mark the occasion...
MY problem is that CERTAIN games should be half-&-half scarf free zones, and AS such, ANY fan attending (both lifelong fan AND Day tripper) should acknowledge the intensity of CERTAIN fixtures, and realise there probably WON'T be a friendly, half-and-half atmosphere for this one?
I went to the Vienna derby in 2017... (Blatant "I've been abroad" post) but went because I was well aware there would be quite a feisty atmosphere...
...So I CHOSE a side beforehand, bought a ticket for the Rapid end (they were the home team that day) I wore green and stood in with the Rapid fans.. . and I can assure you, had I been wearing a half and half scarf, I'm sure I would've been escorted off the premises! !
As it was, I had a much better time in the stand, than the dross served up on the pitch!
but my point is: by all means GO to games, enjoy them, but PARTICIPATE in them, join IN... don't stand passively silent, in your half and half, taking selfies!!!!
*Ahem, to my hypocritical shame, I did try to take some footage of the Rapid end during that game, but was IMMEDIATELY told to put my phone away! Point taken.
THAT WAS ME TOLD!
