The unwritten rules of being a football fan

You must always whistle incessantly at the referee in extra time if your team are winning

You must always whistle incessantly at the referee in extra time if your team are winning

Always go for a pee if your team desperately need a goal

You adopt a look of absolute disgust when you see a 'half & half' scarf, which should actually be illegal.

When scoring, immediately look at he linesman for offside before celebrating and looking like a tool. If you are guilty of a false celebration, avoid all eye contact with the laughing away fans and openly criticise the shit lino to your mates.

When the opposition fans shout for a handball and its not given, remind them by shouting handball intermittently for at least 4 minutes.

Even though you will complain every week about the quality and price of a pint, you will still drink it.

1 When you pick your team its for life, no turning back.
2. Its the team you support not the regime.


Any more?

1,000% Ian.

I love and support Cardiff City No matter what, 50 Consecutive seasons as a season ticket holder.

I detest and don’t trust the regime one bit.

In view of that and especially as you live abroad fair play that's total dedication

Agree; and puts to shame a lot of the fairweather 'lifelongs'

pipe tobacco!

Forgot about that and your post instantly took me back 55 years and the smell of that.

The Pink too - walked home to Pen y Peel Rd so maybe 20 mins walk and 30-40 mins after full time, and the Pink Echo would be in the newsagents at the bottom of our street. They must have printed 90% of it before the end of the games.

don't know if its been mentioned, but NEVER leave the game early. i remember the Jacks home when Chops won it in the 93rd minute, around 85th minute loads around me had left, and one guy left on the 90th minute.

regardless of the score, stay till the full time whistle unless its an emergency of course

It’s perfectly acceptable to slag off your own players, team after a poor performance, it’s certainly not if anyone who doesn’t support your team does so….

When renewing your season ticket, always check that nobody called D. Hunt is within 30 seats of you.
