troll.

no proper fan would ever carry another teams flag.

Fantastic news and vindication of the Club's dealing of the issue by getting our retaliation in first, though no doubt supporters from other clubs will see it as Tigers bending the rules again, but who cares! Come on Tigers!! - lets finish the job on Saturday. tigers played the system with an inter...
