Reminds me of a time when one of my students, who was a bit 'indie' came to work all in black (no especially unexpected). "Has your goldfish died?" I quipped.
"No, my grandmother" ....
I have surruptitiously sat in with the homeys at Arsenal (recently), Dagenham (guess which of these two firstmentioned teams had the most passionate support? Yes, that's right), Colchester, Reading, Millwall, Fulham, Wigan, numerous other lower league places when frankly it didn't really matter and (brighton unrelated) Chelsea (twice, once to 'support' Nobby and Fozzy in a 3-1 win for Luton in div 2, and once to 'support' dirty Leeds in 1970 - reaching for tin hat in case Alfredmizen sees this; I loved the 'dirty' when I was eleven...) and I would NEVER have interfered with the privacy of the home supporters by gobbing off. Especially at Millwall. Ahem. It is just.....rude. Woe betide the first offender, whether he's the father of the vicar that Christened me or not
Yes. Mind you, several on here will recall when we thought 'Oh Gary Hart' had scored the winner at the Madejski a few years back. About 20 people jumped up (most of us hadn't realised most of us were Brighton, we'd been that good) only for the goal to be disallowed, and cue the local numpties all finger pointing and jeering. Too late for a stewards' enquirey, and we sloped off with just the one point.

To be perfectly honest, the extent to which I kick off (or scream for a policeman) will depend on how cross I am at the time. I can even imagine taking it manfully, especially if the team have let thmselves down bigtime. That said....not wishing to tempt fate... I can't see all these stars coming into alignment any time soon
