Is it just me that is irritated by the cheer leaders?

What is the point of them?

It's just a bunch of pubescent girls messing about at the side of the pitch. They don't take it seriously, aren't interested in the game and do this silly, half hearted waving of Pom poms when saints score. It's Just unnecessary, unprofessional nonsense imho.
Also, they must suffer when the weather is bad and the benefit is not worth anyone's suffering.
