I must be losing the plot or just showing my age, but I've just seen a link to an article saying the Police were praising the Fans on Sunday, no ejections or arrests. I walked around the ground for an hour n a half before the game and I've never seen so many half n half scarves being worn?!! in a derby!! I just don't get it, I can't even wear anything with red in it. Well that's a lie, as i'm a fervent Welshman and do wear my red Jersey with the feathers or dragon with pride, but the thought of a Red badge on me, you must be out of your minds!! What the F is up with people, your either blue or a red surely!!!

I don't get scarves in general in terms of football fans. Makes me cringe when a song is on and fans slowly wave their upsidedown scarves left and right. Why are scarves so popular?

Its in case you get croup, like Private Pikes Mother told him, keep his neck wrapped warm.

Think you may find those scarves were being worn by liverpool's 'cosmopolitan' fan base who arrive from Scandinavia each match day.
I was in town the other week on the day they played in the europa league and the streets were full of beauts in liverpool shirts with strange accents proudly wearing their souvenir new half and half scarves.
As was mentioned earlier, no self respecting blue would wear anything red or with picture of a seagull chewing a used johnny on it.

Scarves were massive in the seventies a way of fans showing their support and flying the clubs colours long before replica shirts became popular!
