Ballas know the biz, Baz.

Um didn't read this bit till after I posted. I will pass thanks, already need a 'working with children' check to be in the fucking terrace, way too wrong

Legal studies is a piss of piss. Got 100% on two assessments and 35 overall. That and Aus history were the lazy subjects.

I tend to just weep silently and vomit a bit in my own mouth :-D

meh! as I said, aesthetically I prefer well dressed over merch, but this 'well dressed' is a personal perspective. For me sports wear belongs on the sports folks, nothing more unattractive than a 90's b-ball singlet and baggy shorts for example. However, I would not suggest that my opinion on style is superior to others, I can only judge myself in all of this and remark on what a certain photographer wears and deem it appealing or not.

How would making people wear clothes they don't want to wear make our end better? Not trying to pick, but if someone wants to wear a home kit then why is this bad? You can't manufacture a culture if it doesn't want to organically come about.

I still watch "Spaced' its a series (2 seasons). Its an oldie but still love it. Workaholics is pretty funny. I like Misfits and Inbetweeners. Was discussing my taste in TV and film today and it was decided I have crap taste, so sorry. Love documentaries only as an "up yours' to all those developmental psychologists who say TV is not educational. I am learning shit right now bitches!

I would just like to say I find the style more aesthetically pleasing then the merched up cheer squad style, but that's is just a personal opinion. As for the mentality/attitude of anti social behaviour I am ag'in it! As a pacifist the whole deal goes against my very nature. That being said If a group of designer clad fools come at you with disregard for children etc in your general vicinity I would not a have an issue with force being used in self defense, but only in self defense. Ok, but the actual question of it existing in the A-league is a tough one. Designer brands in some parts of this fine country (CCM and NUJ) mean Oakley, Kuta Lines, Billabong and Quicksilver etc, so if we ignore the merch, the cashed up bogans that over do the brands (or chavs for those who would rather kill themselves than use an Australian colloquialism) and the surf wear yobs maybe we can say it exists?? I am probably not on the right path with this (generally this is the case) but if you think of an average crowd being 5K (roughly) maybe 50-100 would be dressed in casual style, but that could also be a coincidence, from that minority how many would dress because of the casual scene and not because they like the style or have seen others wearing similar clothes, and of those who would consider themselves 'casual', how many would have a mentality of violent anti social behaviour? Unfortunately football is given little positive representation in the media which mostly revolves around a small group of people acting like tools. The reason this is relevant to my eventual point is that this coverage of 'hooliganism' and 'riotous behaviour' attracts certain types to our wonderful game who don't care what the score is, they pick a team and use it as an excuse to behave like fecal throwing chimps. They will watch "The Firm' and think that it's cool, and I personally feel that their gene type is responsible for holding back the human race from truly evolving. So from an uneducated stance it exists in a minority of mainly peaceful mature minded people who like the style of the scene. The violent side exists too, but not in epic Euro '96 proportions.

http://sesasport.com/?cat=6 This site has some pretty interesting pieces.

http://www.stand-out.net A tad hit and miss. Some of the clothes are ok and some are lumberjack crossed with a hobo. I use booktopia quite a bit and have found them really good price wise.

I was going to start Feb fast, but after reading all this I might need a very large GIN! Fuck sake, really? As Scouser said, (and fuck quoting him like a computer literate person because that would just be lying to myself and all you good people) " Fire up chaps 'n' chapettes!' No need to alienate anyone for whatever way they choose to support the boys, hardly in a position to be elitists.
