But the pair weren’t stopped entering the ground because of what they were wearing. According to the Mail it was because they were carrying swords.
A variation of the story appeared in the Express (below). Again, no names provided, just allegations. The last line says it all, with “if (the story) is to be believed…”.

It’s classic tabloid hypocrisy and double standards.
