Forest Hillbilly in a hidey-hole 06 Sep 18 5.59am | |
---|---|
I had a 'friend of a friend' in Forest Hill, who was Miii, and so dis-liked Palace fans, he couldn't stand being in my company. I once found myself driving along, when a youngster up ahead was walking across a zebra crossing. He was wearing a Brighton shirt, and I subconsciously hit the accelerator to aim at said pedestrian. Hitting the brakes, I thought 'what the fck was I doing ?' I dropped off a relative at Gatwick on Saturday. He was in a wheelchair, waiting to be taken to the boarding lounge, when all of a sudden another 'wheelie' was positioned opposite us. His disability didn't irk me, or the dark colour of his skin. BUT, he was wearing a Southampton FC baseball cap. WTF? I think because it's not in the vicinity of a football ground, it catches me off-guard, particularly on match days.

For a minority of us Shankey's quote, 'some think football is a matter of life and death, I assure you, it's much more serious than that', is something that is actually taken seriously. It's emotion over reason of course and not healthy but as long as nobody gets hurt a person's passions aren't a concern. Oh and Man U supporters from London are *******!!!.

I totally agree, trouble is, knowing our HOL family, that aint never going to happen. Someone will always use it for their own gains & it all descends into a slanging match.

I have no individual hatred towards other fans other than in generic terms. Lots of people I know are Mill wall, Charlton Man U fans etc.. If I come across someone on holiday or in passing I'll often be happy to chat about the rivalry. I'm definitely more of a football fan than to allow hatred to affect my relationships with people. It might change on the day of a match however!

On the chest of drawers at the end of one of the banks of desks in my office there is a sort of rose water bowl thing that's festooned with the colours and logos of Wet Spam. I thought I moved up here to get away from that kind of s***. Haven't found out whose it is yet. FFS.

Oh maybe it was in case other people jumped onto it maybe bothering him. Then the question would’ve been raised of why mention he was black. God, don’t know what to say but I doubt Forest is racist. Colour is just first noticeable despite what the sanctimonious in society say.
