It’s fancy dress season in European football and no one does it like the Brits. This was just a quick snap with my pocket camera during today’s match between the Baggies and the Magpies.

I have never before seen anyone wearing a balaclava shaped like a raw turkey.

West Bromwich Albion 3 – 1 Newcastle United




  1. Faxon says:

    Eidheard,
    Nobody in the United States gives a shit about soccer.

  2. moss says:

    Eideard doesn’t give a shit about fools.

  3. god says:

    #2 – Or turkeys.

  4. Jess Hurchist says:

    I think faxon is just plain wrong on this

  5. Tippis says:

    #1 That’s ok. No-one in the world cares about hand-egg either.

  6. Torbit says:

    Northern Men are right hard, -3 Celsius and not even wearing a t-shirt. although he does have a lot of blubber to protect him.

  7. Holdfast says:

    #1 He said football, That is as defined by nearly 95% of the planet. The game you are thinking of is not where a ball is moved around by someones foot most of the time.

    Perhaps your game should be called something else – like American ‘football’.

  8. Ya Think? says:

    A man with a chicken hat, standing next to a pig.

    Ah, life on the farm…

  9. Thomas says:

    #9
    (Should read “poster-child example…”).

  10. noppa says:

    #1 And nobody else cares about hand egg.

  11. Ben-in-the-woods says:

    For the record, ‘soccer’ or ‘football’ is correct as the full name of the sport is soccer-football (as opposed to rugby-football).

    As for tame football fans, what the NFL lacks in chants, it certainly seems to make up for in fancy costumes. But I’d prefer Millwall’s ‘Your going home in f**king ambulance’ chant to silly dress…
