World Snooker ...Fat blokes in Footy shirts

[Deanno1dad]

What is it with the dress code of some guys...every year I watch the World snooker championship from the crucible..and every year there's some fat middle aged guy in the front row in some god awful football kit,

There's a time and a place for Footy shirts and its not a great look for overweight men over the age of 16.

If I was going to be on TV..my first thought would not be a Port Vale or Stoke shirt..I'm really not interested in your Footy allegiances at a snooker match guys.

Its not just World Snooker, somewhere, sometime there is always some fat middle aged bloke in a footie shirt.

You see that Gok Wan? That's you that is.

Ditto darts players & their noisy working class beer swilling tattooed smoking followers. Yuk!

At least they don't point and wave at the camera whilst on their phone to their mate big Steve in the pub back in Barrow Furness.

If you've never been to a darts match, do so, it's bloody brilliant and all the better for being a big council

that bloke did stand out a bit in the final session - he was there for all 4 sessions i think.

If he'd been at the back it would've mattered less but when you know you're pretty much on the front row of a televised world final and you know you're going to be surrounded by all the suits a bit of common sense regarding what you'd wear wouldn't hurt...

If it's the guy I'm thinking of he's at EVERY session, almost always in the same seat, every year.

Yep, even on training courses that I have to attend for work (ones that have a smart/casual dress code), you can guarantee that there will be a football shirt wearer there somewhere.

Snooker is not a sport. It's a pass-time.
