Half and half scarves are among the most maligned aspects of modern football, alongside Michael Owen and fans using smartphones to record the action on the pitch, rather than actually watch what’s unfolding in front of them in real time.
For diehard supporters, it’s sacrilege to wear the colours of another team, but for even the more moderate, casual supporter, it makes no sense to sport another team’s colours alongside your own.
How is it possible to support two teams in the one match?
The Republic of Ireland’s game against Italy in Lille is one game where it just makes absolutely no sense to support both teams. Italy are through regardless of the score, and Ireland need a win to progress.
So there’s no need for a half and half scarf – other than as a piece of memorabilia from the game – nevermind a half and half jersey.
