Bavaria tried this one on at the last WorldCup. Dutch supporters had to take their trousers off to get into the ground, as Bavaria was plastered over them.

Surely the South African authorities could work a similair compromise in these circusmtances?

If there's no labeling on the clothes, outlines of their logo etc then it's a joke they were thrown out.

Pity I was at work when the game was on though!

I should also add that the fact that they were thrown out and it's probably all over the world news means it's likely to be a greater success than it would have been had they not been thrown out.

Robbie Earle gave them tickets apparantly, that why he was sacked...throwing out fit birds

[basehibby]

FIFA have got it all wrong here - all they've succeeded in doing is giving the dutch brewery BAVARIA millions worth of free publicity, as well as revealing themselves for the money grabbing bunch of scrooges they actually are.

It's ridiculous that all these fit birds have been thrown out basically for wearing their national colour and bothering nobody while the same FIFA have bottled it as far as dealing with all the annoying blaring horns is concerned - as far as I can see FIFA's actions are totally outwith their rights and they should really compensate the young ladies involved for any inconvenience caused.

Not that I'd wear club colours to an international, but I suppose this means that I'd have gotten thrown out as well if I'd gone to a game with an old Hibs top on with Carlsberg on the front?!? (Not that I'd have minded if I got banged up in the same meat wagon as these Dutch girls )

Exactly - sheer stupidity.

Certainly is, after they fell for it in Germany. The whole marketing thing is getting stupid, if you look closely at the Coke advert for goal celebrations, youll notice that strip manufacturers logos and badges have been airbrushed out.

It's hard to belive that Cruyff could play in the 1974 world cup with a Puma strip, whilst the rest of the team wore adidas. Now, they would rather have the strips than Cruyff.

(Although, having said that IIRC Cruyff wouldn't play in a friendly against Scotland circa 1980, as he wasn't allowed to wear the Puma top). Mad!

if you turned up at a world cup game with a liverpool carlsberg top on for example would you be chucked out?

Imagine if the stewards at ER had to act as doormen:

Sorry sir, not with those trainers.
Sorry mam, too much slap on your face.
Sorry boys, no Lyle and Scott (noise in earpiece), apologies lads, that was last week.
Sorry sirs, no Burberry.
Sorry mam, no women even with false beards.....what......sorry no women with beards full stop.

I wonder how much they get paid.

Sadly, it's a regular occurance at football. Back in the early nineties I tried to attend a Hearts home game and was thrown out for being too good-looking. I went quietly, glancing around at the clientel it was obvious I didn't have a leg to stand on. So my heart goes out to those Dutch ladies. Should they find themselves in Edinburgh, they are welcome to drinks at Bobby's.

I thought he and another team mate (can't remember who) removed one of the Adidas stripes from their sleeves in protest (but in protest over what?)

It wasn't a Puma kit, but because Cruyff had an exclusive deal with them, he refused to wear the 3 stripes of Adidas and was given a strip with only two instead.

Cheers, I knew he had a deal with Puma, I hadn't realised he'd simply taken one of the stripes off.
Imagine him trying that on now.

From the Guardian:

The Dutch FA had a deal with Adidas to supply their kit, and your Johnny Reps and Rob Rensenbrinks of this world were only too happy to wear the stripy orange shirts during the 1974 World Cup in Germany.
Cruyff, of course, had other ideas. He had an exclusive personal deal with Adidas's rivals Puma, who supplied him with their classic Puma King boots. Because of this, he was unwilling to sport the three trademark stripes of Adidas and insisted on a two-striped version instead. As you would expect, he got exactly what he wanted.
Although Cruyff wasn't around to cause the German kit giants bother when Holland embarked on their 1978 World Cup campaign, his rebellious spirit lived on. The van de Kerkhof twins, Rene and Willy, insisted on being issued with Cruyff-style two-striped shirts else they were off. But did the Dutch FA give in to this blatant show of player power?
Of course they did.
