The most horrendous fashion item ever created.
As an old fart living in southern Spain for yonks, what in the name of San Miguel is a dry robe?🤷

A garment designed for individuals who do open water swimming, surfing etc

Somehow it became fashionable to wear miles from water amongst community rugby clubs and valley commandos

Well, you learn something everyday 😃
 
Awful and happens every week without people there to record it

FAW are drowning in it at the moment with no clue as to how to stop it. Its endemic
It's terrible. I have involvement with junior football that will becoming competitive next season.
Its concerning some of the things that go on with parents and coaches at the current age group, next season could crank up a few notches.
 
I’ve watched junior football for decades since my nephews were kids. The absolute worst part about it is and always has been the parents (and some of the less reputable coaches). And some clubs are awful and either actively encourage that kind of ā€œparental inputā€ or at least do nothing to discourage it.
 
I’ve got to stick up for the chavs here, you don’t see them wearing dry robes, they are black North Face puffer wearers. The dry robe is the choice of the football / rugby / school run mothers and their kids.

It would be nigh on impossible for a chav to get up to their no good wearing those tent like things.

And how can you boot someone in the head with crocs on ffs.
 
Is this a modern phenomenon?
A load of us in our WhatsApp group can’t recall anything like this happening in the 80s and 90s.
Players may scrap but parents would calm it down.

Well one dry robe wearing thug has just made the WOL with a video of him throwing punches at an under 14 game.

Not only as he made the nigh on impossible possible, he has made onto the Welsh main stream media 🤣

Goes to show that the phrase Chav is probably unfairly targeted incorrectly and stereotypically at youngsters rather than the brash and coarse behaviour that seems to be spread across a lot of age group these days.

You get parents now encouraging the kids and praising them for scrapping these days.
Society is losing its way, badly.
 
Embarrassing. No doubt a few of our more vocal forum members involved there. Most likely either the dry robe wanker or those he left on their arses.
