So they're a Premier League concoction?

I was having this discussion with a friend and he was saying while no one really likes them they are tolerated in a "I guess we're stuck with the fuckers" kind of way.

I guess the premier league stole the idea from mls, they seem to be everywhere now though. Shamrock rovers had a great one until the original lad got sacked for winding up the gypos, the new lad just isn't the same.

There was a good post on When Saturday Comes about the very subject here.

This was my favourite one.

The brother was done up as a hound - Cuchallain or something - for an Irish friendly.
Basically was showered with bottles. This from a text conversation earlier.

----------------------------------------------------------
Cu Chullain..Hound costume..told to wave at the fans...asked the security guy if I could go behind the goal, 2nd half where loads of Irish fans were...he just said 'takin yer life in yer hands if you ask me'...
'?', said I..
got a decent half way across the back of the goal when the first bottle hit me...saw a few more so ran to the corner flag area...had to get back tho, they knew this...started calling me on..after a couple of pretend starts and their cheering I ran like Jim Carey w bottles flying everywhere. Only plastic. International friendly, no idea of who or score. Security guy letting me back thru the barrier said 'Ysee?!'...couldn't see me smiling under the Hounds head.

He's a gas man, the brother.

We've got 2.

The Toffee lady who hands out sweets before kick off and now an elephant, which has nothing to do with the club but is the logo of the shirt sponsor. We've been trying to sell the club for years and there's two white elephants on the jersey.

Geniuses.



Gunnersaurus is by far the best

Followed by Millwalls Zampa

Here he is leading by example by knocking seven shades of shite out of Swansea's Cyril the Swan

Liverpool's is terrifying

The Kop Kannibal I think it's called.

Looks like this, yeah?

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Zampa seems to have been knocking about for a while, or maybe this is his grandad.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

This lad ?

Yup
