I'd be properly miffed if I'd spent money on a ticket, flights from Germany and London accomodation to go and watch my team in the Champions League final only to find myself stuck behind a waving flag for 90 minutes.

If the young generation are lazy or feckless or whatever nonsense is being levied at them the fault lies with their parents, no?
