Balloon Wavers

[Blue Til Death]

It's just rubbish banter. In the words of Madness: You're an embarrassment!

You sound like Mrs Death Marv :-)

Taking the piss was not the issue, violence and severe violence was the problem.

Was amazing to have such a huge away support made up of 100% lads or so it seemed

Maybe the thread title is missing a comma

Balloon, wavers

Nowt wrong with it. Just football banter.

If they’d beaten a redshirt in that final last year and taken them to one of their grounds we’d be laughing about it and saying “haha nice one!”.

It’s not childish to take inflatables to football games neither, a bit hypocritical for any of us saying it is isn’t it?

I’m with you on this mate, didn’t mind it at all. It’s a big reason why I go, the banter and to have a laugh. Otherwise might as well stay at home and watch it on the box.

I'm old enough to remember when they used to play at Burnden Park.

Thankfully, I'm one of the few without an inflatable

I thought it was quite funny from them. Nobody in the South Stand wanted to join in with my “Where’s your balloons you cockney cunts?” chant after we scored.

And I was very disappointed that no one joined in with my "Chelsea reject, Chelsea reject" song when KDB was subbed.

I was singing it too, didn't you hear me!?

We ended up in the Piccadilly Tavern after the game, started in the Waldorf but as usual poor beer so moved on.

Picc Tav was full of Chelsea lads (only 3 blues inside inc 2 of us that I saw), all having a singsong (sexist & religion based but meh it's a football crowd of lads 18-30), had a chat to a few, no hassles and no inflatable cups.

I think the days of Frain and Marriner leading the Headhunters into battle are long gone.
