That much is obvious and very clear.
Why then, when we are told that their team has just conceded the 7th (seventh - like Grandstand) goal, does the woman put the match programme to her face and the programme has blue and white stripes on it? They are at an AWAY game.
I can only think of the following reasons:
A) she has taken a home programme with her to an away game - maybe she didn't have time to read it at the last home game - likelihood: 2%
B) although they are the away team, the home team also play in blue and white stripes - likelihood: 5% (Huddersfield, who else? The away following is quite big - this isn't meant to be a non-league team)
C) the producer of the advert is not a football fan but they've been asked to write an advert about football fans to appeal to a large demographic in a really ill-thought through, generic, 'appeal to the masses' way - likelihood 93%
Absolutely fuming, here.
