Half and half scarves are nowhere near the worst thing about modern football. That honour goes to people who played for a minuscule time for a club then refusing to celebrate when scoring against them. **** "respect" for your old fans, what about respect for your new fans? Absolutely ****ing despise the mock sincerity of it.
I do think that players like Lampard shouldn't celebrate against Chelsea or Fabregas against Arsenal. Early in the season we played Shrewsbury in the cup and James Wesolowski (former academy graduate, played a few games for us in our darker days) scored a freekick and wouldn't celebrate. If I scored a cracker to knock a Prem team out of the cup i'd go ****ing ballistic.
Agreed, it's not a bad thing, but its recent popularity among players is. The 'will he, won't he' media fuss that surrounds it is abhorrent. Like when they made a story out of whether Bridge would shake Terry's hand or whatever.
