I bloody hate that I do!
Introducing Mickey Marbles, a grumpy old Northerner who once had trials for Donacaster Rovers in 1965, he didn’t make it and has been bitter ever since. He remembers the good old days when footballers were real men, they could sink 10 pints the night before a game, could take a tackle and get by on 2 bob per week.
Here’s his first of many rants
I was eating my chips and gravy last night when I saw this little gem in the wrapping.
Our flag of St George has been banned at the Emirates!! A Rovers fan recently had to take his flag down while watching the Arsenal.
“We hooked it over the hoardings but they took it away saying it could be seen as a racist symbol. It’s the national flag and the bans stupid”, I bloody hate that I do!
Now, I can understand if the flag had racist wording, swearing or even a pic of Big Sam on there but a flag with Rovers written on is beyond a joke. You would have thought a club like Arsenal, steeped in history with one of the most multi-ethnic squads in the league would embrace the togetherness of national emblems at its modern state of the art arena.
At Gooner spokesman said “We have decided only flags without any national emblems can be displayed”.
Maybe the real reason we didn’t see any St Georges waved by the Arse was because the latest team didn’t contain one Englishman, I’m sure Arsene didn’t see anything at all.
I tell you what, it’s not like it used to be!
