A little harsh on a well meaning body of men
Speaking as one of the mentioned "ginger kids," this is a fucking good point! It was absolute hell sometimes at school, and the sum total of fuck all was ever done about it, as it is still the "acceptable" form of bullying. As an adult, I laugh it off, and I am a contrary twat so I opt for the "ginger and proud of it" approach, but bloodyhell there were some rough times when I was a kid.
(Edit - I should add that even despite my own red hair, I have loudly called Megson, and others, "ginger twats/wankers/cunts (delete as applicable) at various matches over the years. See also: Tim Minchin "Only a Ginger..." It's OUR word).
Anyway, back on topic, why is it that after 8 months of players hugging after goals, only after we do it, to celebrate our first win in 6 of those months, that it suddenly becomes a huge talking point, and a stick to beat football with again!!?
Good point about why other players weren't called out, you Ginner twat.
