Has Harry gone too far?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45302099
Roy Hodgson, a well respected elder statesmen of the game, has called out Harry the Hornet for his “disgraceful provocation of Wilfried Zaha in 2016.
"If you're asking me whether Harry the Hornet, who I presume is the mascot, should dive in that way, I think it's disgraceful, because that's not what football matches are about.
"And certainly if it's provoking the crowd into looking for something that's not there, it should be stopped."
Our former “media darling” of a manager had a similar opinion.
Sam Allardyce said Harry the Hornet was "out of order" after the incident in 2016 but the mascot avoided disciplinary action by the Football Association.
Is this something we should be preparing for when we visit Vicarage Road? Could we find Harry with an oversized fake nose doing a bird dance, putting off Richarlison or behind the dugout sporting an oversized watch wearing a snake mask mocking our new manager.
This menace needs stoping, should we start a petition or just form an angry mob?
@mods move to the ale house if more appropriate
