The Plastic Ayatollah

When did the insipid ayahtolah begin ? You know the one where the hands come nowhere near the head and flap around about a foot away . The ayatollah was supposed to be a show of extreme support and devotion . The head is supposed to be whacked ............HARD !!

Seems like you've been whacking too hard

Around the 93 season if I am correct.

We'll always be blue
Even when we're Red
And we look awesome
When we tap our head

The Ayatollah celebration came into use at Cardiff City games in 1990. It was originally performed by the singer and fans of a Welsh-language punk group called U Thant. It was first performed by Cardiff City fans at Sincil Bank, home of Lincoln City, on September 15, 1990, the day after U Thant had played a gig at Cardiff's Chapter Arts Centre.[4] U Thant's singer had been inspired by footage of attendants at the funeral of Ayatollah Khomeini, which was broadcast live on British TV, doing the movement to express their grief at his death.[5][6][7]


Basically we are Muslims.

Some of the Cardiff fans have more than enough Brain damage now without inflicting even more on them self's

I know what you mean,when it first started fans did actually tap their heads,not anymore probably don't want to spoil their hair style.And when we ask a player or manager to do it their hands come nowhere near their head.

Basically we are Muslims.

No no no we are not muslims , it means we are fanatical I'll never forget Scunthorpe away 93 when loads of city fans dressed as the ayatollah
