Mellow yellow

I for one will be mostly wearing yellow or something with a phoenix colour mix when in the Zone. My passion for West Ham has not diminished simply because I also support my local team. EPL rivalry exists; can't deny that but as a responsible NZ resident I owe it to my country of choice to model the behavior I've come to prize in this fair land. There now, colours nailed to mast! COYN!

Maybe I have missed something but what was the point of this post cause all I see is trying to re-open something from a week ago.

The purpose is he got 4 Karmas

He use to wear a West Ham shirt in the zone.

I think you have missed something.

There's no attempt to reopen anything here.

He used to wear a West Ham shirt, and he's just stating that, for his own reasons (wnad it doesn't matter what they are) he's come to the point where he's now going to wear Phoenix colours in the zone instead.

That's great.

He'll still be a Hammer, and he'll wear West Ham gear at other times, as he should...

...but one more person has embraced the Nix to one more level, and that's just fantastic.

So how am I going to know who to throw bottle caps at now?

There's a guy over near where Lonegunmen sits who's a jumped up upstart, starting chants etc. He used to be a Victory fan... try and run him out of the ground I reckon, and anyone he's been bringing with him*.

[Footnote added because this is the weird and wonderful place that is the YF forums: The above post is ENTIRELY bollocks and sarcasm. It's the exact opposite of what we should do. I am simply playing up to the gag Junior started...]

Never explain your gags bwtcf. Never explain your gags.

Normally I wouldn't, but given how the recent YFF version of the  Liverpool banner incident diverged so massively from what actually happened (as discussed by the parties involved before the game yesterday) I felt the need to in this case.

Yesterday? Shark did I miss a match, did we win?

*Bloody great huge Grinning emoticon*

Yes, handshakes and apologies. Everyone ended up smiling and ready to enjoy the game.

And WHAT a game it turned out to be.

This week, I are mostly been listening to ... Donovan!

What where LG stands now??? 

Who are you on about. There are no ex or current Victory fans where we stand thank you very much.

Row cc Aisle 22. Been back there 3 games and we have won 3 games. Makes me wonder if I am the lucky charm? 

Mustve been what Tyler Boyd was talking about!

That Harry Enfield clip with 1930's Arsenal V modern day Liverpool. Sums it up!

Surely that is what true tolerance is about though, allowing someone to express their beliefs whilst having your own. 

If he scores goals for us, he can say he worships a big turd for all I care. 

Absolutely this.

It infers that he believes that "god" helped him/rewarded him for his faith, or that he could not have done what he did without god.

Which infers that he believes others who do not believe in his god are not getting such help/reward.

Which infers that he believes others in his team who do not share his views are being disadvantaged by god.

Which is disrespectful and/or discriminatory. 

Not to mention it is ridiculous and does not stand up to logical scrutiny to infer that god affects the activities of the faithful in sports (or in any other part of life).

I find it offensive.

So what about blokes who thank their Mum / Girlfriend / Wives?

His belief in his God probably does effect his performance, just as players superstitions do ( Lacing up your left boot last, sitting in the same chair, walking out last etc) take that away from them and it would effect their performance too (possibly).

I agree it is totally illogical but us being in second place with the best defensive and attacking records right now is also illogical!

I haven't seen anyone with the ball glued to their feet for ages!

You ask others to think before you speak - it also applies to you.

If it's someone's lifestyle to praise Jesus Christ, Buddha, L. Ron Hubbard, God Almighty under his various aliases of JHVH, Allah, Vishnu, or the damned Flying Spaghetti Monster, I don't care as long as they don't tell me I have to do the same thing. I don't share Rory Fallon's bizarrely superstitious beliefs, but apparently believing in Jesus got him off the booze, which must be good.

Let's put it this way - when I see a European player make the Sign of the Cross after scoring a goal, or the Palestinian national team bowing in prayer on the centre circle before a game, I think "awww, that's sweet", rather than being offended at all. If they started yelling at me that I was immoral for wearing short skirts, then I'd be offended.

Rory Fallon might get ridiculed as a footballer by some but as a person, you can't fault him for being a nice guy. If that is a product of his faith, I'd rather that than being just another drunken lout footballer so it does not bother me. If he wants to bash his bible and Tyler wants to praise the Sun God of Rah, go for it as long as he is not telling me I have to do the same. Besides, he seems like a nice kid and like Rory, if that's a product of his faith then I prefer that to some smarmy little shark footballer that is all mouth and no trousers talking about how the "2 goalz showed his reel skillz and Ernie can eat a dick y'all."

What is Pavlovic up to these days?

Back at Sydney United (ex-Sydney Croatia) after a stint in India, according to Wiki.

?I am a Jedi, like my father before me

God help us, what a couple of posts :-)

OMG! :-)

Rah was a Sun God - it wasn't a place, he never came from Rah. Get your 5th dynasty Egyptian deities sorted out this is a football forum for ffs.

Unless he meant Sun Ra, the crazed jazz musician

It seems we've tapped into a veritable storm of consciousness and thought provoking debate.....all I said was I'm happy to wear yellow come match day!
Anyway back to debate session....Mr Speaker.
