Did these birds have tickets to get in , yes , were they drunk , no , were they causing a distrubance , no , were they fun and lovely to look at , yes.

What the hell gives the SA police any right whatsoever to eject them from the ground and hold them for 7 hours ?

Just goes to show that advertising money means a lot more to FIFA than human rights. Muppets.

Better have the right make of shirt on next time at the footy in case I get ejected for upsetting advertisers. :rolleyes:

why do u think when elano scored and took off his shinpads the camera changed away straight away - just incase it was a pepsi advert on them or something. only after vetting the replay did they show it more fully later on once they knew it wasnt a competing brand.

It was his children wasn't it?

Aye, FIFA's always held the sponsors dearly. Remember the old yellow card for removing shirts during a goal celebration? That's nothing to do with decorum or setting an example, but more to do with the companies on the shirts.

yea but they cut away the first time until they knew what was written on them - htne showed it later when it was obviously not a brand like i say.

I did notice, can almost imagine the poor producer leaping out of his chair to switch camera.

Poor children. You gotta wonder why he named them that. They're going to end up with worse shins than he did.
