and at least one Town "fan" actually bought one as he was standing a few rows in front of me.  |  |

I don't really understand the disdain for these. I have one from the game against Avenir Beggen which was one of my first Ipswich games, don't remember getting it but have seen it around the house. I don't find them anymore cringey than say, fans chanting on the train or in the station on the way to the ground or other such away day staples. |  | | |

How can anyone compare chanting on the train at an away game with buying a poxy half n half scarf |  |

Chanting on a train is bellend behaviour and everyone that isn't going to the game just thinks 'what a bunch of mongs'. I shared a train to Bristol with a bunch of Liverpool fans that never stopped chanting despite the fact it was a Sunday night.

There were a bunch of Chelsea fans on my train home to the south coast after they got beat by Burnley. Brainless morons sang all the way about lampard terry and celery.
I can nearly understand the half and half scarf on a rare European away day, but really anyone getting one on a rip to selhurst really needs to have a word with themselves. |  |

Must have been the guy a few rows in front of me. In fairness most people were pointing him out, saying who buys a half and half scarf in the second round of the league cup at Palace. Few years ago, Palace were no bigger than Ipswich. Prem money has distorted people's view on what a big club is, like them up the 'rud. |  |

Ahem....Palace still aren't a bigger club than Ipswich | | | |

Slightly different than buying one for a second round league cup tie at Crystal Palace...
Anyone who buys one for a league cup game deserves shooting unless it's the final. Even then it's questionable. |  |

I normally say live and let live (see also the wearing of football shirts by grown men) but I have to say it is a bit bizarre to even be making half and half scarves for a league cup 2nd round game against Palace, let alone buying one.
You'd need a very good reason. I know a married couple where one supports Town, the other Palace. I could just about understand them getting a joint scarf. |  |

Could be a little lad going to his first game, why not? |  |

I think this has been covered many times before.
The rules are fairly simple;
One-off showpiece occasion i.e. UEFA cup tie = acceptable
domestic cup tie against any team = unacceptable |  | | |

I think accepted protocol would be to buy the little fella an Ipswich scarf.
Buy him a half and half and he will later see you for what you are and hate you for it. | |

I presumed they are for ticking off ground visits. A scarf from every ground you've been to rather than the match itself. Collectors items. |  |

I asked how much they were selling them for and laughed when the guy said £7.50. |  |

They're both terribly embarrassing in their own right. |  |

What is wrong with football shirts being worn by grown men? Or what is supposed to be wrong with it (as you may be saying live and let live on that)? |  |

If this is the guy I saw buy it outside (his mate was wearing a terrible 'Burberry' jacket and cap), he could feel the looks of disdain as he bought one. Me and my mate were looking on in disbelief and as they walked away, his mate said: "I don't mind them. Especially when you're playing against a big club"
Then he walked in to the game. At Selhurst Park. Against CRYSTAL PALACE

As I say, I don't care what people wear, but many on here believe it unbecoming of a grown man to wear a football shirt, unless he's playing football.
Snobbery, basically. | |

But not as cringeworthy as singing our opponent's rivals songs, ala singing West Ham songs at Millwall.
Now that is embarrassing! |  |

I was initially shocked but when I saw the video it's clearly about 3 West Ham fans (broad London accents). It's a disingenuous stick to beat our own fans with. | |
