Anyone But England

[BufordUSABlue]

It's no different to those pictures of people pissing on the opposition's shirt.

It's their own risk.

Incidentally, a neighbour of mine had a Utd one of those, showing a guy pissing on a City shirt many years ago.

He kept getting kebabs and chips and gravy splattered on it on weekend nights so eventually removed it ;)

LOL DD, but a criminal waste of decent grud if you ask me pal, especially as we long for such over here!!

I would get one too...

Couldn't give a fuck about England. Feel no connection to any of them, and even not that keen on City players who play for them (only while they are wearing the England shirt mind).

Not sure why - remember being rabidly behind them as a kid during Italia 90.

Now? Always hope they don't qualify. Disappointed they are there, hoping they go out in the group stage.

They`d sell like hot cakes over her in Ireland, Ray Houghton still dining out on putting the ball in the England net in `88, not racist tho....can see it replacing the string vest on Rab C Nesbit.

Been an England fan since Mexico 1970 when the Germans broke my heart on my 10th birthday by coming back from 2-0 down....

Fuckem. They are shit at everything

Probably pissed or on smack anyway and will try and deep fry the T shirt before wearing it.

Even though Scottish i'd like to firmly point out im not behind this.

Police fears over 'Anyone but England' T-shirt


A company selling "Anyone but England" T-shirts for this year's World Cup has rejected suggestions it is racist after police in Aberdeen visited its store.

Police warned Slanj, which also has stores in Glasgow and Edinburgh, that a window display featuring the shirt could cause offence.

Grampian officers advised a store worker to consider whether the display was appropriate and should be removed.

A spokesman for Slanj said staff were "flabbergasted" by the warning.

Ross Lyle, from the company, said: "To be honest we're absolutely flabbergasted.

"We have been selling this T-shirt for the past three months and we've had a great response.

"Even the English people who come into the store think it's a laugh and just a bit of tongue-in-cheek football banter.

"We're certainly not being racist. We are the same race as the English. It's just daft to say it's offensive."

A spokesman for Grampian Police said the force's visit to the Slanj store was not in response to any public complaint about the shirt slogan and was prompted by an officer acting on his own initiative.

In a statement, the force said it was purely an "advisory visit" and there was no criminal investigation as a result.

Pc Kirk Hemmings added: "The primary role of any police force is to preserve the peace and we would be failing in our duty if we did not make people aware of the potential for disturbance such a window display could cause.

"The Grampian area, in common with the rest of the country, has recorded incidents relating to nationality and we have a responsibility to do our best to ensure that incidents of this nature are kept to a minimum.

"The public expect no less of us."

Serious question, if a shop in England sold t-shirts saying, "Anything but Pakistan" then how would you react, would it then be classed racist?, and why?

I think the difference there is the word ANYTHING as opposed to ANYONE......besides Pakistan dont play in the FIFA world cup...

I hate seeing Man City players in an England jersey these days, even though I used to love it and feel really proud of my club. There's been all this talk about Capello getting them 'back' to their best but they're still a bunch of overpaid Cockney twats playing shit football in a shit, plastic stadium with shit, plastic fans.

I support Italy in International tournaments now, they have far more class than Ingurland.
