I think pigs have something to do with bacon. Bacon has something to do with money. Money has something to do with feeling successful. Success seems to make people stop throwing pigs .
Play was suspended in the first minute of Charlton's home game against Birmingham earlier this year after hundreds of
small balls were thrown onto the pitch by supporters in protest.
Balls on the pitch? No, I don't know the reason why they chose to throw balls either.
I think the balls on the pitch were a working class attempt at satire due predominately to the use of the common and far too obvious juxtaposition of the ball with football. A Rugby Ball on the other hand might have raised eyebrows ,or better still the use of thousands of Frisbees. The players would then be seen chasing the frisbees and the satire would be complete.
The more sophisticated social comedian would definitely use something much less obvious than an actual symbol of their pain. I suspect this was Millwall fans attempting to make charlton fans look thick. Of course, Millwall must have been helped by West Ham fans who despite their obvious lack of sophistication did manage to get a bubble machine to work and pair it against that awful embarrassing song.
Of course from another point of view the use of Balls, which I believe were quite tiny may well be seen as a stroke of comedy genius.
Whatever you believe one thing is undeniable-Blackpool fans use of direction and very predictable action when they invaded the pitch like a pack of Neanderthals hoping for scraps from their superior handlers was definitely not satire and was doomed as a behaviour of social change from the very beginning.
If we lose then it's got to be good old fashioned bog roll. If we win good old fashioned bog roll. I'm fed up of the crap that we've had to endure. Strong words yes, but only soft toilet tissue to be used.
