When Pies were a lad, there were precious few insults more cutting than being exposed as a “glory hunter” by your playground peers. Once the mark was upon you, it was indelible. You were a traitor (at least in terms of club allegiance). The lowest of the low.

With that in mind, we bring you this pillock – who was snapped at Wembley afore the Community Shield yesterday by Pies fan @marky249 (aka, The Shirtless Gooner) proudly displaying both, a) his Man City 2014 Double Winners t-shirt, and, b) the Liverpool tattoo he’d had etched on his calf at some point previous…

man-city-liverpool

What a bloody mess.

Hang on, did City even win The Double last season? Is he counting the League Cup? What year is this? Who’s the president?

    Look another glory hunting Southerner…..I was wondering how long it would be before they latched onto City….

    Maybe he’s a Liverpool fan who really hates Man Utd.

    Typical case of jumping the gun or whatever saying fits the bill. Plagiarism also fits this so called article which was in the Liverpool Echo yesterday.

    Have you (Chris) thought this out? No. Could this guy have been a Liverpool supporter who got a ticket (they don’t all go to the clubs who are competing), if so would he attend the game on his own wearing his LFC shirt? No. Not unless he has a death wish, so he buys a cheap City T shirt and joins the City fans where he is less likely to be spotted when he opens his mouth, believe it or not there are City supporters that have Scouse accents.

    Yeah, another glory seeking Southerner or other out of townie….I’ll probably offend someone ‘ere but I don’t care…These are the type of gets who get all the tickets instead of the Scouser and Merseysiders…Yeah see them at the match all ‘Liverpool-ed up’ with their woolly back hair cuts etc…Anyway you can buy what you like in the club shop but it wont make you one of us; you’ve all ready killed the atmosphere in the place!!! I’ve got what you can’t buy, Scouse blood with a rich heritage, genuine passion and unwavering civic pride…Support a team near where you come from and leave us alone!!!!!

      @Billious: Or, of course, he could have merely selected one of the thousands of plain t-shirts available these days and gone in that.

    Well, we do not now the story behind that. Allegiance to one club doesn’t mean you can’t support another. Maybe it’s a lost bet…

  8. Sherman the German says:

    Wait, are you sure it is the original badge and not a pun or something? Zoomed into the picture it doesn’t look like it’s the Liverbird.

  9. Kingsland101 says:

    Blob… calm down, calm down. Just because you got the glory supporter sentiment from Everton fans your whole life doesn’t mean you have to post it 3 times or have a go at Southerners.

    Plus you’ll be glad to hear no glory supporter in their right mind would support Liverpool

  10. Alex says:

    Also, he could’ve worn long shorts, or ‘trousers’

    @Bilious. I’m a Saints fan who went to the City v Stoke cup final. I wanted Stoke to win but never in a million years would I be caught dead in a Stoke shirt.

    Born in Brighton, raised in Southampton. I would only ever wear a Brighton shirt other than a Saints shirt, and only ever to a game, and only if I didn’t pay for it, and even that would trouble me.

    @Sherman the German: As an Anglo-Dutchman who supports both Fulham and Ajax, I think you’re sort of right. It’s ok if you support a shit team in the football league and develop a liking for a Prem team, just so you can experience at least some vicarious glory. However, choosing a club who are historically one of the best in the country and then dropping them for an outfit who have only recently become good just screams of being a fickle fair-weather supporter.

    Of course he’s not a southerner look at them dirty reebok classics! He’s obviously from up north!

  14. tom the bees fan says:

    I’m fed up with people moaning about glory hunters and feeling all high and mighty cos they supported a team for a while. who cares if someone wants to go watch the best team, if they help the club by buying tickets/merchandise then great!
    And no I’m not one myself I’m a Barnet fan only and you don’t see much glory coming our way.
