... And what should have been the springboard for continued success was indelibly stained by the faecal smear that is face-painted adults. When did these infantile freaks appear at city games and what possesses them to behave like a 10 year old to garner attention and potential TV time. They make Hull look like a tin-pot, star struck club enjoying it's big day against a much larger club. They are the worst kind of fan, they always smell and dress badly and quite frankly, they should be put to death. Their appearance and presence destroyed the game for me. ESSEX GULL
Not backed up by any stats or official info by any means, but I think it seems like the older, more middle-class supporters who are prone to the facepaint.
I have one in Hong Kong planned that could be lucrative, so I'll enjoy that conference, thanks. ESSEX GULL
Were you the chap who got his eye blackened in Crystal yesterday, Lloydy? The blonde dwarf who went to Grammar?
I also came away with a foam hand and a 'In Bruce we Trust' poster so it wasn't a total write-off. ESsEX GuLl
Face paint...onesies......even replica shirts aren't for me.... But if some want to wear silly stuff, it's NOT important to me .
Is it all adult face painter or just City face painters that are an abhorrence to you? Goodness me. How about rotund people wearing their team colours, is that objectionable as well? If the days events could be spoilt by the appearance of those around you may be you should devote more of your attention to what was happening on the field of play. Each to their own. If you are embarrassed by the appearance of others in your vicinity may be watch the game from your living room.
The 'mauled' font has already started cracking and peeling, so I shall probably throw it out before next weekend. ESSEX GULL
Unfortunately I think you miss the point. If some fat old codger from Hull gets his face painted, wears a tiger onesie, smells a bit and is generally acting the fool, it is our humour. We quite like the embarrassing uncle sort (in fact I'm the embarrassing grandad sort myself). In Hull taking the piss out of yourself is quite normal. These folks who you find embarrassing, actually think it is very funny that you find it so un-funny. Where as you may find taking the piss out of them a great laugh, the clown shoe is on the other foot you mong!
I can multitask with my foci, old bean. I don't think I need to explain my initial post further, it's an opinion on a forum, not a 3000-page Chilcott inquiry. ESSEX GULL
My old man got offered to have his tash painted black and amber for free by the face painter guy in torch. Peer pressure kicked in and he got it done, he looked ace and everyone loved it. Keep a look out for a new user on here, tigertash
A kid I recognised from Grammar walked out of the club holding his eye, which had turned into a big purple lump and had blood pouring out of it. Christ knows what happened. I almost choked on my cigarillo.
