To celebrate 10 years of the Football V Homophobia campaign, non-league Altrincham AFC decided to go all out and become the first senior football team to wear a full LGBT+ rainbow kit for a competitive league match. I travelled to the suburbs of Manchester to watch a little piece of footballing history...
you pay 13 quid for a 6th tier game in UK? in germany you can get tickets for the first bundesliga for that price....strange
Big business in premier league (no longer a working class affordable game). Pushes prices up in other divisions.
The price included a pie!
Stimmt für ein Hoffenheim Spiel habe ich gerade mal 10 Euro gezahlt🤔
Yeah but this was for a super gay game.
@@PropertyofJesus777 It's a super gay game with pie. Don't forget the pie. That's the important bit.
Good video! I love such concise snapshots of small communities, every one a dive into a new world.
Weirdly enough though, there weren't any trains or decommissioned stations involved in this one...
Ah thanks Lennart! Yeah I know - I'm going to have to put at least one train in my next video or I'll start losing subscribers :)
i love those uniforms though tbh
I've been binging on your videos for a couple of days now and this gem seems surprisingly underwatched. Come on algorithm sort yourself out!
Been loving your travel vids this week. Never expected to find this. Come on Alty!
Great result yesterday!
13 Quid for a 6th division team? Bloody hell...
For us non-brits, can you give us a us equivalent?
@@KingfisherTalkingPictures Today that'd be $16. Back then that'd be $16.60
Man, I love your football videos. As a lover of lower league football myself (in 2019 I was drinking beer in the last regional division of Lisbon, Portugal, as my childhood club (CF Estrela da Amadora) re-raised from the ashes from bankrupcy by the hands of a dozen supporters) this descriptions kill me. Thanks!
Sou portista mas Ganda Estrela Crl. merecem voltar com o leiria e a academica sou luso-descendente em Londres mas sempre vi futebol Portugues
This is your best video - on the level.

Welcome to Alty Tim.
UP THE ROBINS 🔴⚪🔴⚪🔴⚪
I think non-league football is probably the fun stuff to watch! Wonderful commentary as ever!
I hear that Rainbow theme hiding in there.
your love of non-league football is what gets me out of bed in the morning
I thought had seen all your videos and was sad. But finding this made me happy.
Just bumped into this pre-pandemic video while scrolling through your channel (which I have come to love!). I was wondering, since you seem interested in unconventional (in the most nice way) football clubs, if you would like once to talk about FC St. Pauli of Hamburg, Germany.
Where do I get one of these shirts? (in a size that fits)?
Americans: activists should keep politics out of sports! It ruins it for everyone else! Its just a game!
Europe:
Some Americans. The rest know that professional sport is business, not a game.
Come to St. Pauli, it's pretty much the same but in Big
cringe, shut up connor
@@DDRWakaLaka buy my silence
@@awesomelyshorticles nah, be less obssessed with everything and anything the US does
I need you to commentate/summarise more matches please
CZcams algorithms make no sense at all in terms of viewership they bring: it's more than 6 months later now in early November, and this one's got 7783 views, yet the one about whether Luxembourg or the Netherlands has the boringest mountain made just under a month ago has 100171 views!
Everyone in Luxembourg watched that one. ;-)
1:39 The bromance between Fuchs and Okazaki is real
VfL Bochum had rainbow shirts in the 90s. Had nothing to do with gay rights, though, but advertising for a German lottery.
"Rayo Vallecano" almost perfect pronunciation
What is there to dislike?!! Great vids Tim.
park ave played over the road from the disused horton park railway station. "the alpine route" more disused tunnels and viaducts than you'd know what to do with round here.
The party afterwards looked fun and it's all for a great cause!
Nice video and great song background from my favourite band, the cranberries (rip. Dolores O Riordan). Do more videos please..
Love from the 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
maybe you could check out Sankt Pauli FC if you find it interesting
Frank Sidebottom (aka Chris Seevey) was a fan of 'The Robbins' :)
Your videos are going to take off as it’s really interesting content...however your views make no sense. Two similar videos and one gets 100k and another gets almost nil. Your subscriber count is going up and I can say I was in the first 10k!
WHERE'S THE BAND?!?!?!
more football in this video than I've ever seen in my life
Jake Humphry's a Norwich fan !
OTBC !!
At 2:24. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL DE ALTRICHAM! Es increible, no lo puedo creer! (Just giving you a bit of Latin American commentary flavor on this goal, LOL.)
Not enough Os. :)
Bochum had the first one of its kind.
Das dachte ich mir auch.. Das gute Globetrotter Trikot. Edit: Faber-Lotto Trikot, 96-97 Saison.
Tief im Westen daher kommen wir
But it was due to a sponsor's business colors, not with any political intention

I’ve played on that pitch...
Before you were a boxer yeah?
13 quid for a 6th tier? I follow Havant and Waterlooville and its 6 quid for an adult!
Indeed a perfect example of local sportief football
NOW, finally, after all these years, all that hugging and smooching when a goal is scored. makes sense to me.
@TheRenaissanceman65
And you know this, how?
@TheRenaissanceman65
cheeky!
@TheRenaissanceman65
Nothing, really. Unless they were wearing kilts, of course.
@TheRenaissanceman65
Oh, crikey!
Can we lay this to rest now? The teat's dry.
Great video. Lower league football is different from the premier league but that is a good thing. You don't have to like one or the other. Well done Altrincham, brilliant kit and brilliant initiative 🌈👍
Talk about equality.
Love this
I love the Cranberries.
Awesome video, thank you Tim ❤️🏳️🌈
aint tackling nothing in step 6
... not a dream anymore
Being American I struggle with the soccer thing but I love your narration.
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Nice 1 they are cool
How strange! The people in the comments need rainbow uniforms...
sad enough when it's still not ok to be "quer" in to many places ...
There is an ice hockey team in Sweden that did the same in 2014. As for the homophobia, I can understand if players after the match are a bit uncomfortable with taking a shower together with a college that they know is gay - it must really be more or less the same as if women took a shower together with a few straight men, right?
that is stupid ... same sex, same shower room. Has nothing to do with your sexuality.
@@anjachan OK, let's assume that is the case. If so, why do women object to men showering together with them?
@@christopherx7428 what ?????
Why am I watching this?
I'm neither into football, nor am I gay. (Coinsidentally, I am not homosexual either.)
Then again I am neither afraid of nor disgusted by homesexual people (unlike that Victor Vaida-Guy somewhere down in the comments. Please don't be mean to him, it won't change his mind if he receives hate-mail, rather it would make him dislike homosexuals even MORE; thank you.)
Anyway, I think the idea of letting people wear rainbow-shirts, waving flags and all those things to raise awarenss ~probably~ are not as necessary as politicians and "the media" might think.
For once, people who are not homosexual, but do not mind (or even do not care) other people being homosexual, do not need to be reminded, as they are already aware of homosexuality and are fine with it.
On the other hand people who are not homosexual, but DO mind other people being homosexual (like said Victor Vaida; again: leave him alone, his life is already a valely of missery after he
unsubscribed from this channel), well, those people will probably only get more annoyed then they alread are. So in their case it is actually counter-productive.
And then there are the people who are homosexual: what do they want?
I can not tell. I assume they have different points of view in regards to waving the rainbow-flag or not, as they are individuals.
But I think they want the same thing everyone else wants, when it comes to sharing their life with the person they love:
to be left alone.
Which is what we all should do in regards to people who's lifestlye we do not agree with* (unless it involves practising the tuba at 2 am; those people can dye in a hole. Just give 'em some paint and some fabric).
* this (leaving people alone) again includes Victor Vaida; you are NOT going to change his mind, so do not try to play a tuba at 2 am next to his bedroom.
Annyoing and bothering him will NOT change his mind, rather it will enforce his point of view.
And make him tubaphobic as well.
@@freesaxon6835 I'm curious as well. What gay agenda? I really don't know what you're talking about and I'd like to know, so an answer to a simple question would be much appreciated. Thanks! =)
@@freesaxon6835 were you fucking dropped as a kid?
@Jon Seymour ok boomer
@@freesaxon6835 god you are dense
@Jon Seymour ok boomer
Sly "Two Ronnies" ref at the end, mate
Sorry, not into Footbll due to historic homophobia over the last 40-odd years. 😢
@Jon Seymour Well... that's just not true is it Jon?
T
Im laughing so hard
They gays vs the environmentalists.
Some weasel is flagging comments they don’t like.
Umm how does this do anything? UNLEASH THE VIRTUE SIGNAL!
Guessing this video means you play for the rainbow team? Hardly in keeping with the channel lol.
I don't get it... I really don't get it.
Why?!?
@MusicalElitist1 what I don't get? Simple, why? What's the point of this?
@@TheAllMightyGodofCod supporting gay people
Gay
Not really sure how the shirts stop homophobia. If anything it approves of such depravity
Wearing a rainbow shirt in a soccer game is not "tackling homophobia", it's just political virtue signaling.
how would you recommend tackling homophobia?
@Jon Seymour 😂 you're a comedian
Cant take them serious
@@Pierce1337 Jerseys
I thought no political messages of any kind were allowed in fotball. Well only what the society wants to see is apparently ok.
I don't think that this is a political statement. That's like saying allowing black people in football is a political statement.
Although I have to disagree, we don't have to slap "gays exist" onto everything in 2019. It's getting rather annoying to be honest.
@@R0XYF0X Arguably, it *is* a political statement: everything is political. And as long as there's homophobia in football (which there definitely is), there'll be a need for initiatives like this.
@Moonshine Buck An individual person managing to be L, G, B, *and* T would be quite the achievement!
@Moonshine Buck y'all really fucking butthurt that nobody ever bullied you for being straight, huh? anyway fuck palestine, fuck homophobes, free hong kong, kiss my gay ass
@Jon Seymour oh hell are you one of those idiots who goes UM ACTUALLY THAT'S NOT WHAT A PHOBIA IS which is an entirely semantics-based argument that accomplishes nothing but making you look smug
That's it Tim Traveller, feed the paranoia and the professionally offended by campaigning for something that's basically non-existent. What's wrong with people teasing each other? When did it become criminalized? What scientific evidence do you have that homosexuality is not a choice and therefore fair game for critidism? Or are you all just joining in with a virtue-signal self-congratulatory celebration of a lack of diversity of opinion? Unsubscribing.
When did you choose to find women sexually attractive Andy?
@@1882osr Luckily you presuming my heterosexuality correctly, otherwise that might have been a hate crime. Anyhow, many millions of years of successful sexual reproduction means that for me and indeed most all species of animal, I find women sexually attractive as doing so means I am likely to seek and reproduce with a fertile female. Hence, we're all here!
@@SirKenchalot So you're saying you made no choice at all, it was something you just felt. Also interesting how you clearly understand that same sex attraction occurs in other species as well. Also nice to know you think your attraction boils down entirely to wanting to reproduce, I do hope that means you're not ever just having sex for fun or engaging in activities that won't result in a child, god forbid.
And I really didn't have to assume anything, your heterosexuality was pretty damn pointed.
typical conservative, offended by a fucking football jersey
