Football pet peeves

Even I think it’s a bit weird.

Sponsorship by dubious betting companies and faceless institutional ownership with an eye to profit over community development.

Maybe modern football isn’t for me. :s

Which is why I’d appreciate it if they didn’t use so many. Very inconsiderate.

Good stuff. So do you have a dedicated room with them hanging on racks for easy display?...or do you have your own museum somewhere? 😁

Not yet, but I have always had plans to convert the loft space over my garage… one day.

There’s a guy in the UK with a truly awesome collection of shirts and other LUFC memorabilia that he has on display in a dedicated room (it was his garage!) that fans can visit (I’ve actually got a fair bit of my collection here via him).

Well worth a side trip if (or when) you next get to Blighty.

I’m sure Ben would be more than happy to show you around his pride and joy.

He’s a Top Man, both figuratively and literally. B)

How many do you have on display in frames etc and do you store the rest in plastic covers in drawers?

Younger bro plays in "bleu clair" with SHORT sleeves which is no, no for me aesthetically wise.🤫

Keepers shirts should be seen, imo. Leeds 1990's Asics keeper tops most apt for today & no disputing keeper from ref in heat of battle balony either. 👍

Those moving images digital advertising boards around the pitch want to have their plug pulled too, damn things even face spectators in the stands!
The moving advert with the dog walking around the pitch on a loop defo wants binning as its so distracting when watching the game, another no, no 👎

I've added a fair few since, but those are "my" GK shirts - the one at the bottom shows those that made it into the kit book (I was trying for a decent mix of players, seasons, styles and colours).

I'm with you on that advertising dog - gets me every time!
