cardboard for mo(i)st






 

in the so so old days

fans used to go to matches of their local version of fitba

they would sing, chant, yell insults, eat overpriced shit food, drink booze, wave their teams colours about

and just have a general gay old time with their fiends and fams


much of the shouting was banal run of the mill to the mill stuff

grit him! get the orb! go you thunderbuckets! up the beige boogey boys!

you know the perceuse

sometimes the calls were witty and alarming

sometimes they were slander and hearsay against opposition players

or more often the officiators


and sometimes they were hilariously downright odd


my all time fave nonsensical shout

was from a normal seeming chap

who stood up

clapped his hands

and with great heartfelt passion

belted out

'cardboard for most!'
