Why did Scunthorpe wear green?

[mattbianco1]

Did we only take our home kit with us or something?

Something to do with the anniversary of the creation of an Irish supporters club I believe.

 

[Kenilworth]

Snot ours to reason why

 

[1889]

It was to mark the 20th anniversary of the formation of the 'Irish Iron' supporters club.

Both members were said to be humbled by the clubs gesture

Irish Iron day as 1889 said. Apparently the green shirts outsell their home and away kits, according to their fans after the game

I remember Chelsea having to wear coventrys away kit in the 90s. Not sure if it was because they forgot there's but must have been wierd for both sets of fans watching. Can't remeber if they lost but it's a ready made excuse.

In Sept 1977 Palace wore our away kit in their 2-0 win at BDTBL. In February 1982 we wore Colchester's away kit in our 5-2 defeat at Layer Road. In Dec 1971 we wore gold/ orange shirts in our 5-1 defeat at Palace, not sure if the shirts were ours or belonged to Palace, maybe we hired them from a shop

Going out in a while to get hammered ,

And a day off tomorrow (off work, not the porter)?

 

[blade too long]

hideous colour green it was , to be sure

I heard they were paying homage to our team of leprechauns.

And then there's that research which shows referees (in several sports?) favour the team in red.

Filmed some bouts of TKD - which is Red v Blue
Asked refs to score it
Red came out winner generally
Reversed the colours on the video with computer trickery and subterfuge
Same bouts but Red was Blue and Blue Was Red
Asked different refs to score it
Red won again, despite having lost when they were Blue

I think this effect has been reproduced in several experiments.
