Bands

wrist bands on City players...

 

discuss(?)

[GHA EFM]

Bands on all players - bit silly. They do come off, don't they? But then footballers are like that...

[HelenC]

Your brother seemed very interested in all that yesterday. Ask him!

Not sure I really understand!!

I don't understand either. Is it just a footballer thing or the current fad? What do the different colours signify?

[GHA EFM]

Blue - bullying

Yellow - Lance Armstrong's Cancer charities and research stuff

Black & White - Racism

 

They do come off, as do any other types of bracelets. But perhaps these footballers are 'making a stand,' that is to say if it isn't just a fashion thing.

If they are "making a stand" then fair play to 'em

[GHA EFM]

When was the last time you met a footballer intelligent enough to make a stand against anything, webbo?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Well, Tony Galvin has a degree in Russian, and I used to see him all the time in the Crown or the Robin Hood.

 

Are rugby players all of the highest intelligence?

[GHA EFM]

No, but hardly any of them wear these bands on the pitch.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Good for them.

 

Those bands are bloody stupid if you ask me, stand or no stand.

shall I take my pink and green spotted one off then?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Is that a Mr Blobby awareness band, Webbo!!?

[AFF]

In order that there should be no misunderstanding, I believe that the blue band is anti bullying and the black and white ones are anti racism.

 

I don't believe that the 'pro' camps, if any, have jumped on the band wagon. ['Bandwagon' geddit?].

[Big J R]

You bin at my pills again, AFF ? Very good, though !
