England football shirts banned

Morning crossfire,


It seems that in my home town of bournemouth england football shirts are banned!!

Aparently people have been asked to take them off as they are racist and discriminatory. Seriously wtf is going on.

The argument is that ethic minorities and other foreigners will be offended by us supporting the country we live in over a game of football. Its not like we're wearing england shirts and beating up people we're just supporting our team like many millions of people will do around the world.

I bet if one of these minorities had their national football shirt on the police would say nothing even though it might offend english people.



You've got to love political correctness at times :) and the coppers will happily tell girls to take their football shirts off, they love doing that.

wtf? Talking about taking it to the next step of absuuuuurd :/
QuoteIts not like we're wearing england shirts and beating up people
Try saying that to England Suiy, he loves fighting after a game of soccer ;)))))

Oh well, at least there's no problem with us wearing Wales national tops, bloody English hooligans you lot, upsetting the minority all the time :D
just waiting until they start doing it in wales mark my words

and yeh suiy is just special :p

bournemouth is a place populated by alot of old people who aren't like that harry brown so they're not going to have a fight
Parent
Then there'll be some big problems if they decide to enforce this in Wales :-)
Did read some article related to this topic the other day, not sure if it was on here.
Parent
same in germany, cant even run around with my ss uniform heer
its a pity aint it?
Parent
fucking nazi politicians
Parent
Bet if one of those "ethnic minorities" wore their country's home top, there would be no problem.

I'm genuinly not racist, but this nonsense has to stop. It's ridiculous that we can't support who we want where we want. Not to mention the fact that the polticially correct way of saying "blackboard" is "chalkboard" - Absolute shambles of a country we live in.

Wow, I think that's the first time I've ever spoke about the UK being "our" country. I'm usually anti-UK and pro-Scotland only :D
What a racist.

And the chalkboard is correct, you use some chalk on it and not a black person :)))
Parent
but the chalkboard used to be black, so it makes sense to call the black board "blackboard"^^
Parent
Not anymore, in majority of cases they're white now. Fuckin racists :!
Parent
still "whiteboard" sounds like a rightwing meeting to me :P
Parent
Ye idd, that's why I put in the 'racist' part :D
Parent
white boards are what you write with pens on

so they're penboards now...
Parent
what's stopping you from wearing it anyway? There is not law that prohibits you to wear an English football shirt now is there.
Parent
Nah there's no laws afaik.
Parent
Not that I care about the ethnic minority part, but, do you not agree you feel that by wearing an england football kit you're joining a group that contains far too many jobs? Obviously during a world cup the world and its brother wears a shirt, but when there isnt a world cup on the only people I see in England shirts are pretty scummy.
Would you only wear a Chelsea top during the season? (If you wear one at all)
Parent
Club shirts are different imo - I think the England football top has a mass connotation of thuggery and violence when worn by a man
Parent
LOL

If you wear a Belgian football shirt, you're the laughing stock of the day ^^
Parent
Such a shame tbh, I really like that top! :(
Parent
You must be kidding me. It's just pathetic and embarassing to wear it. You'll never see me with one lol

Edit: you mean this one in red shit, black trousers and yellow socks? http://www.sporza.be/cm/sporza/voetbal/Rode_Duivels/MF_100519_BEL-BUL
Parent
Just the look of the top. Not the fact is Belgium or the shorts or the sock :P
Parent
Shirt is ok but with the black shorts and yellow socks it looks just silly. They look like a bunch of clowns when they play. All what they are missing is a wig. Oh wait, Fellaini wears one..
Parent
And the Chelsea shirt doesn't? Have you ever seen a grown man in a Chelsea shirt who isn't a complete scummy chav? Other clubs have an aamount of decent fans, but your average chelsea wearing stella drinking weatherspoons dining bloke is a scum bag, more than any other club.
Parent
What's wrong with Stella? :o
Parent
wife beater drink
Parent
seriously? it's the most drank bear in the world...
Parent
i kinda like it :-D just saying that's the stereotype here
Parent
it's Belgian :(
Parent
i had a belgian beer, duvel i think it was, one of, if not the best i've ever drank!
Parent
REPLIED FOR TRUTH

Duvel is godsent.
Parent
No it's not.
Parent
Isn't it? Which one is then?
Parent
Hmm I guess it's Budweiser...
Parent
Unfortunately, yes and it gets worse. BudLight is the best selling worldwide, go figure huh!

As for the best selling Belgian beer, it's Jupiler.
Parent
Those Americans don't know what beer is :(
Parent
Not just beer, they don't know what whiskey is as well. Heck, they don't know shit at all.

Parent
anyone who wears replica tops when they aren't in a football ground are normally thugs/scummy unless they are under 15.
Parent
Thank god that's not the situation in Scotland! Club shirts are deemed more "neddy" - or as you may call it, "chavvy."

Fights are more likely to occur if 2 people meet in the street, one has a Rangers top, the other has a Celtic top, rather than the same 2 people meet in that street both wearing the Scotland top.

Personally, I tend to not brand people who wear football tops, though. It's growing more common for people to wear footbal tops as a fashion accessory. For example, I just bought my little brothers Spain and Brazil strips simply because they like the players in those teams (and yes, Scotland aren't playing in the World Cup 'cause we're shit, I know you're gonna bring that up :P ).
Parent
lol, it is actually laughable! Same with flags etc, tbh thats one of the big factors that makes the world cup so enjoyable, seeing everyone going around with flags on their cars and houses, faces painted and wearing the shirts. If i wasn't allowed to wear mine I'd be taking it back to the shop and getting my £45 back..
feel free to wear it, AT HOME, you offend forein tourists by wearing it xD
Parent
Burn all flags, forget all borders and ethnic groups - let's just all be sons and daughters of Mother Earth (or Mother Universe not to discriminate against astronauts (or Parent Universe not to be sexist?))

-. -
sorry, but sexism is only directed against women^^
same goes for equality, only counts for women too :P
Parent
Quoteor Mother Universe not to discriminate against astronauts


rofl :DDDDDDDDD
Parent
wasn't this all bullshit? is there any actually like, written evidence the ban is/will be placed?
Thing is the article starts with "Have police really banned wearing England tops?"
It isn't even giving actualy evidence.. then it ends "Anyway, the point is that the story is bogus. There was no ban on wearing these tops whatsoever"
http://liberalconspiracy.org/2010/05/25/police-finally-deny-england-shirts-were-ever-banned/ - Statement from the police saying that they never actually said this lol.
Parent
well of course they wont admit the an 'official' ban but there's been many reported incidences of police telling people to remove their england shirts.
Parent
then they need to be angry at the police instad of the immigrants? Its the police telling them that they cant wear it, not the immigrants
Parent
Ifyou believe The Sun, lulz for you
fucking paki scum, fuck off back to your own country if you don't fucking like it.

Half of them bounce round with their head veils so you can only see their fucking eyes and bum the fuck off our tax and benefits...

Well fuck them, I'm gona buy myself a England shirt and go stand in front of them all and just scream, THIS IS ENGLAND!!!

:D

BNP would have sorted this problem out.
didn't you add me on facebook
Parent
When I refer to Paki, I refer to the Pakistani origin.

I have nothing against Indians, and I'm not a racist. This was just a complete random out burst. And i have no idea if I added you or not.
Parent
didn't sound racist at all ^^
Parent
Was just a random out burst of hate towards all this shit. It is true though, they come to this country (when i mean they, i mean people who live here ILLEGALLY, then rape the shit out of our benefits and then have the cheek to fucking complain about everything). It just makes me an angry nerd!
Parent
Most of the 'people' who live here from foreign countries that are complaining are full UK citizens :P
Parent
...And you ban me for shit like this :-(
Parent
what's the difference between pakistanis and indians for you then? and if you have nothing against indians, why would you want BNP to solve 'the problem', which we are supposedly a part of?
Parent
Random outburst of hate, It's over now
Parent
whether you're going to be ignorant or accept it, a 'random outburst' is what you believe
Parent
I guess the crossfire admin's are nothing compared to the scum in bournemouth
I don't give a shit about that, I can't buy any fucking mars bars anymore!

It's not like you are going to win anyway =D Don't get your hopes up :o
+1 about the Mars Bars btw!

Also +1 with the failure to win, though they've already booked their victory party.
Parent
being fair looking at their team they WOULD actually do okay, but they dont have a goaly :o

and lol havent pot noodle done the same thing? these companies must be experiencing a serious drop in sales in scotland :p
Parent
because you ran out of money, or because there's no place in your region where they're being offered anymore? :x
Parent
because they have changed the packaging to a silly "support england" wrapper, and I don't wanna support england =P
Parent
lol thats funny
Parent
lol

haha sorry mars are racists now they'll be banned now
Parent
Back to Londsdale I guess, its still normal to wear that shit in England right?
IZAN CF!!!11213352367587908
in the pubs around my area they have a england flag in the window with the words "if your offended by this flag, go back to your own country"

so theres no doubt people will be wearing their england shirts in there.

personally ill be wearing my england shirt and watching the games in my garden with a few mates, BBQ and alcohol (assuming the weather will be good)
It's an outrageous proposal that will not be supported, I honestly don't see the idea behind it all, it's not offensive in any way, shape or form, if that's the whole idea then you should not be able to wear national football club shirts as they will offend people born and bred in other areas.
This better be a troll, because if this is true it's retarded. I'm all against racism and offending people, but this isn't any of that!
It's all bullshit. There's been uproar caused by shitty facebook groups, etc. Even the Police and Gov. have issued statements saying it's all a load of bollocks so get your shirt on!

Can get the red and white ones for £25 each from Asda :)

Stopped reading, you need to stop assuming and gather proof that there is evidence and shit for all this, because theres been nothing about this sort of stuff in the news or anything. And most idiots are screaming "fuck off pakis" when it's actually the police that are telling them to take it off and about 90% of police officers are british..
Theres no evidence for this type of stuff, and i've seen england flags shirts etc all over the place in west, central, east and south east london and theres been no problem about it.
i said aparently because i havent incountered it personally. I was listening to local radio on the way to uni and there was alot of accounts of this happening.

football is shit =)

ow, thought only hugnarian minorities have thsi advantage. they kill ur dad, then you go to police, and it will end up like its only your fault. stupid law .. okay, its not that dramatic, but i think u understand how i mean

I would wear .hu football teams shirt, anyway if they ban. inteligent cops wouldnt touch me, only the idiots. Everyone who owns a brain in his/her head knows thats not racist!!

Though I am not afraid of such things. .Hu wont make it to Worldcup x((((((
