it's not the team he doesn't like, it's the fans
he has a point about football fans. a lot of them really are cunts.

Best cheer against them, then. That'll change their minds AND their behaviour.

Yes, it is clearly never worth doing anything as just a point of principle.

If you're going to do something as a point of principle
it'd probably be a good idea to do something that isn't petty and pointless.

Why? Why shouldn't people do anything they want to as a point of principle?
I have never had a Big Mac, and I intend never to eat one, simply because I can. That is an entirely pointless thing, but I'm still going to see it through.

Whether this is a reasonable comparison based on your reasons is moot
My issue with Swipey's Bent Cunt Ex (SBCE please, I'm lazy) is that he's spending a shitload of money on indulging his bitter pettiness. Not buying Big Macs costs you nowt, which I assume is part of your reasoning.

I daresay SBCE likes cricket and so would enjoy being at a game regardless of who won
I certainly get the impression that cricket fans really enjoy the event more than the result, so it's not a waste of money to indulge his petiness, it's spending money on an even he enjoys, and while he's there he gets to cheer on the team that are currently winning (assuming they are, I haven't looked at the score). But even if the team he likes lost, he would still have seen a (hopefully) world class cricket match.

Good point
I suppose it depends on whether he goes to see a great game or goes to a great game in order to cheer against the English.

More amusingly, I accidentally typed "biter pettiness" in my post above, appropriate as the man is so gay he makes me look like Oliver Reed by comparison.

Good luck to you, Al.
Where did I say that you, or he, shouldn't? What I did do was strongly suggest that I had no respect at all for it. Which I don't, on account of it being, in my opinion, facile and motivated more from spite than principle.
