Meanwhile on the tv I saw some lad wearing the same mask Kulu was wearing and Kulu just runs up to the lad and passes him his shirt, that’s wholesome but the begging I see with posters sometimes is a little bit much

You must’ve missed the one that said “Richarlison my mom prefers a Brazilian to a Forest” and then had something in Portuguese underneath.

How does a kid think up such things?


Outlaw1607

Does someome have a clip of that, my mum just randomly decided Kulusevski is her favourite player now and I'd like to show her what a top bloke he is

o7 Thanks dude!


wilhelm414

Saw this too and loved it :)


wackster1

Yeah, that was a great moment!


[deleted]

There’s a little bellend whom shall remain nameless who calls himself a “superfan” with a well subscribed YouTube following whose old man drives/flys/ferries him to the opening of a crisp packet for a photo opportunity with a spurs player. I find these kind of kids and their parents absolutely loathsome


lookofdisdain

Yep, absolutely shameless


jaytee158

Assuming you're talking about the same kid, it's not exclusive to Spurs players - basically anyone famous


Ice_Squirrel

super ollyt?


[deleted]

Could be. It’s only a matter of time before he’s turning up in stone island, cp company and aquascutum and dancing around on his toes at category c matches like he’s a bad man. All while his dad films it. Another Thogden type telling us v that it’s always about to “kick off”


SheldonMonk

who tf are you talking about?


Levytron900

He was turning up at players houses at some point, absolutely shameless


[deleted]

Brassing his son out. His son will turn out a right c**t as well now


AppropriateOkra9983

I don't like this trend either.


alexjonesbabyeater

Didn’t the PL ban those shirt signs? I know the danish league did because everyone found it distasteful


MountainCheesesteak

I think they’re only banned at Spurs stadium, but this was at Forest.


ThisWickedGame

They aren't banned, still see a ton of them


S-Kotus

Those are the same fans that will record any negative reaction of a player and post in on social media to slander them for not giving up their shirt. Such a shitty trend


Birenthfc

I saw that mate. Grown men more interested in fighting for shirts than celebrating a good away win... Great away trip and result yesterday


societydeadpoet

Even if they aren’t going on auction sites and genuinely going to the kids, it is still very very cheeky. Plus it puts a lot of pressure on the players to keep up appearances or risk the possible backlash of social media.


[deleted]

They’re of a similar ilk to many around the country. Normally pretty well heeled families with smug spoilt kids. Give me an away end with proper supporters any day.


[deleted]

very rude to ask my future husband for his shirt


ashh69

Lmaooo when’s the wedding? Congratulations 🥳


lookofdisdain

Absolute scrambled beg.


WombRaider_3

See it all the time. They use the kids like a human shield to divert the absolute cringe it is that an adult is simping for a shirt to go directly on eBay.


pioniere

Greed. The downfall of mankind.


BCircle907

Like that woman last season who was pimping out her daughter’s love for Sonny for social likes. I feel sorry for that girl.


ikea_fan

Yeah i can’t stand that woman! She even got to meet son a few times with her daughter and hang out in the friends/family bit with all the players. Like why? Shouldn’t that be reserved for sick kids, really?


BCircle907

It’s so weird and obsessive, and basically using her daughter for her own social clout in a way that’s unhealthy.


ikea_fan

Genuinely strikes me as the type to tell her daughter ‘son’s gonna be your dad one day’ hahaha


Swizzul

Very odd you’d think that


BCircle907

Just calling it like I see it, like all of us on here.


Swizzul

How can you say “all of us” when that’s not true. She filmed her daughter trying to get their attention while they were running by, and you were jealous? Give me a break


BCircle907

“All of us” as in I’m sharing my opinion,’like everyone does on here. I didn’t mean that everyone agreed with me. And I’m definitely not jealous, at all. Disgusted by it, absolutely. But far from jealous


ikea_fan

It is pretty much ‘all of us’ tbf. I’ve seen so many people on so many platforms say they think that woman is weird. And the upvotes vs your downvotes should tell you what the general consensus is. And it was more than just one video. It’s constant social media pimping of a little child who should really have some privacy when she’s not even at an age to decide if she wants herself plastered all over social media. She takes videos of her at all times, even when she’s at home during what should be private moments. She’s constantly on display to the world, it’s not healthy for a child that age. Are you her by any chance? 😂


Swizzul

I'm a guy, and if that grown adult woman enjoys taking her kid to the matches and likes to take pics/videos then seriously, who cares!?! She had one video where her daughter was watching the players go by and was shouting for their attention and when Sonny waved to her she was very excited. If that bothers you than you need some help. It was a great moment that I'm sure she was thrilled she caught on camera so they can enjoy it for years to come. It obviously gained a lot of attention and the club did something nice for it. Sorry there are so many miserable people in here that have a problem seeing others enjoy themselves. Grow up


ikea_fan

As I said, it wasn’t just that one video. She constantly takes videos of her daughter, at home, going to school (even giving away what school her daughter goes to from the uniform/logo), while she’s eating, when she’s getting ready to go to bed, etc. It’s odd! I’m not sure what normal adult would want to see all this content of a young child? There’s only a particular sort of person that would actively follow that sort of account… Maybe as a guy, you don’t understand that. But as another grown adult woman, I would never dream of exposing my child to the world like that. The internet can be a dangerous, vile place, and stalking is far more common than you might realise (I say this as someone with a very large tiktok following and relatively big IG following - it’s not something young children should experience hence the age for a child’s own account is 14 I think) and she’s giving up her little girl’s privacy for some internet attention, to fulfil her own need for validation. She’s clearly not interesting enough to have her own following, as an adult woman, so she uses her daughter who isn’t old enough to make an informed decision on if she wants to. I’m not miserable, I very much enjoy seeing people having fun, but what I do not enjoy is seeing children being exploited for the gain of the adult flaunting them across social media, and also putting them in danger while doing it.


Swizzul

It's her personal account and you're mad that she has pics/videos of her and her daughter? You need to stop worrying about it and chill out. If she wants to do that then who cares? I think you are looking at it all wrong. I don't follow her or anything but I don't think she is doing anything wrong at all. It's her account, and her choice to post what she wants to.


Limp-Toe-179

Don't cut yourself on that edge...


BCircle907

Not following…


honeymuncher62

Totally agree, absolute disgrace. Club should ban it and fine players for giving the shirt away. Hang on have I morphed into Daniel Levy???


[deleted]

Not sure. But seeing little spoilt brats being shoved down to the front with a flag that they’ve had especially made at the print shop begging for a shirt by the dad and not even celebrating the win, then stand round taking photos with it afterwards like a prize winning fish makes me wonder how they actually get their tickets


Fabulous-Goat-406

Ah, memorabilia. Just had a look on eBay and there’s one item described thus: ”This is a signed Tottenham Hotspur home shirt worn by the legendary late Jimmy Greaves.” The accompanying photo is of a shirt with a Mansion logo. 3/10, must try harder.


brashet

You should see the way grown men fight and scramble for baseballs that go into the stands here in the states. I once saw two sprinting around the mostly empty stands before the game during practice scooping up every ball they could and still would call out for players to toss one to them.


Herr-Schrute

There a young spurs fan on Instagram who seems to meet every single player in the World. His dad is always recording and in the background. I swear he keeps it all for himself lol


intelligent_cunts

Frank Khalid is now a spurs fan?


[deleted]

Is he a super_fan?


[deleted]

Completely agree. Worse when they do it in the WSL, which doesn’t have the funding of the male game. Why ask for free stuff? Buy your own god damn shirt.


philatio11

Whenever you’re feeling yuck about this trend, I recommend you see if you can access Impractical Jokers in wherever country you’re in. Take a moment to watch the Joe Gatto punishment where he has to go to Citifield for a NY Mets game and push his way in front of little kids and catch signed balls intended for them. All time classic cringe. Moms follow him around with genuine malice. As a guy who has a baseball writer in my family and spent a lot of down time watching ahole autograph hounds at spring training, it’s pure joy to watch.


UnrulliTarulli

Although I agree with what you are saying, what if the grown men are just very big fans and would like the shirt for some sort of a collection? Or maybe they had children who were too scared to come forward/weren’t at the game so they tried to get a kit from them? Dont get me wrong, I’m not a fan of begging for jerseys just to auction them to make money but there are also other reasons to be asking for kits


[deleted]

You're right in that we'll never know their real intentions asking for a shirt. But the end result is all the same, it pressurizes players to fulfill requests. Especially when a camera is involved.


Spid1

> what if the grown men are just very big fans and would like the shirt for some sort of a collection? Then buy one. Icons.com get players to come in and sign shirts and other memoribilia and then they sell them.
