Lofarl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Do you wear your teams top in another country and enlighten the backwards locals about such teams as Dundee United or Falkirk? Or do you think I’m a grown adult and I’ll look like a massive fanny walking around another country wearing a teams top that no one has heard off? I will say Celtic/Sevco fans are great for wearing brand new tops where ever they travel. It serves very well as a warning sign not to strike up any sort of conversation with them and try and hide your accent within earshot of them. Come to think of it. It should be mandatory for them to wear club tops whenever they travel. The same goes for Liverpool fans. Man U fans used it to do this, but they are shit now. European games are excluded naturally.

AyrTroopMajor Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The number of Ayr United Da's that take to facebook to post pictures of themselves in Lanzarote wearing the new Ayr shirt has completely opened my eyes to the fact that it is an absolute beamer. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 IMO, football tops on holiday should be treated the same way you do with 5s/exercise. If you gonna sweat in it, or need a shirt to cover yourself from getting sunburnt, it's fair game. Taking it with you when actively travelling, out for dinner/drinks is more within the 'for the watching' type behaviour. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 OK lounging about at a beach resort, not OK at somewhere like the Louvre Museum or on a tour of Auschwitz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on this one, I generally pack an Ayr Utd top on my travels and tend to wear it when I'm out on a randan session, however I totally agree that there's a time and a place and that place is generally sitting at a beachfront bar in the Costa Dorada or Costa Del Sol relaxing with a few Estrella Damm's or San Miguels. I should note that I haven't been to Lanzarote and I don't take selfies and post them anywhere............. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else is weird behaviour and the behaviour of a delinquent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Nope, grown men shouldn't be wearing football tops unless at a game or playing fives etc. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I normally pack a Rangers* top and Celtic top when going on holiday. Then burn them next to the pool on day 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Nope. I go on holiday to enjoy myself, not for locals to point and laugh, saying ‘Haha fcukin’ Sellik shop!’ in a foreign tongue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_diamond Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Anyone wearing a football top past the age of 16, other than for an organised game of football, is a cretin and should be treated as such. Honestly, one of the first signs of a simpleton. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Football shirts are bad enough but I've nothing but utter contempt for any cretin who wears a kilt on holiday, particularly if they subsequently claim that they shagged everything that moved because of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForzaDundee Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Would only wear a #retro effort or something just old. That "half your age plus 7" rule for relationships should also apply to football tops imo. I'm 26 so only 20 year old tops for me. The 1996-1998 Frikin Brewery top is my favorite that I wear all the time. Also important to make sure you never wear anything even approaching matching top, shorts and socks. Even at fives it's crucial that there's no chance of anyone even mistaking you for a #FullKitWanker. I've kept a set of generic bright yellow football socks which solves when wearing Dundee or Scotland attire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Apart from the yellow Scotland tops, that is. Anyway, no. Any person over 15 wearing football tops not either playing football, at the gym or attending a match should, most likely, be placed on the sex offenders register before they eventually actually commit the crime. Saying that, I will be taking last seasons away top with me on holiday in October. Hopefully some pub in Portugal will take it off my hands. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Do people in places like Benidorm and Lanzarote wearing football shirts think they look good or do they know they don't and are simply revelling in their scummery?

Crroma Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 You can go on a foreign holiday, get totally pissed up in the sun and wear any football top. Its not illegal, if anything its just giving off the signal that the person is a moron with very few interests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 No, as I'm not a complete roaster. Indeed, I haven't owned a football top since I was 18/19 and bought the 04/05 ICT home top for our first season in the SPL. And I only wore it to about 2 games when it was warm. Never anywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
