I've edited the post.I don’t know who you go to the game with, but it’s been a bug bear of lads I’ve gone to the game with over the years that teams in Europe can drink in the stands, you can have a beer at a concert, rugby, cricket, why not football.
The rest of your post, I’m not really sure what you’re talking about.
That’s the fella. We both went to Wilbraham primary and Central secondary.Really? They lived opposite. Knew his younger brothers, Steven and Kevin. They all went Wilbraham?
I went to Claremont, for the smarter kids ;)
His dad was called Tom and they all worked for Royal Mail. His mum Carol was a nurse, who helped me when I fractured my skull one very early Sunday morning, jumping off my wardrobe as a seven year old.
Small world.

The behaviour of drunken fans is the bug bear of the majority of fans who don't drink at games.
And if Schalke was a guide it obviously does nothing for the atmosphere in terms of vocal support for the team.
And this thread is littered with implied encouragement of the sort of violence that's left one of our fans in a coma.
“The worst thing I witnessed by far was the crush that ensued when the train pulled in at Gelsenkirchen after the match” said M18CTID. Yes, I agree - that was scary and totally unacceptable. Police stood on the platform smirking whilst we were crammed in and sweating and trying to get some air for the 30 minutes it took to actually get the train out of the station. And they wonder why we get angry?

I’m not excusing the behaviour of the fans who cross the line. But the overwhelming majority of people who like a drink at the game do not throw pints, and are not there to cause trouble.I've edited the post.

You should have got the train to Essen change for Düsseldorf it was half empty. I tried to tell a few blues but they were singing get your tits out for the lads to a girl on the opposite platform.
When we got back to Düsseldorf we had a kebab opposite the station when you’re train arrived My lad said it looked like something out of the Living Dead.
Good trip.
Now you fvcking tell us.
ha ha I did try.
I go to the rugby league in the Summer when there’s no football and alcohol in the stands is a nightmare. Same as being on the main floor in front of a stage at a gig. Knob heads throwing full pints in the air with no care who they land on.I don’t know who you go to the game with, but it’s been a bug bear of lads I’ve gone to the game with over the years that teams in Europe can drink in the stands, you can have a beer at a concert, rugby, cricket, why not football.

That’s fair enough mate.I go to the rugby league in the Summer when there’s no football and alcohol in the stands is a nightmare. Same as being on the main floor in front of a stage at a gig. Knob heads throwing full pints in the air with no care who they land on.
Plus people in and out and in and out all game going to the bar and bringing multiple beers back spilling them all over people’s shoes on the way. I look after my footwear, don’t want beer all over them.
I hope beers in the stands never makes a come back in football in England
Well its better than Bashing the Bishop..Another thread bashing young fans.
I bet most of the fighting on sunday will be middle aged blokes.
That’s the fella. We both went to Wilbraham primary and Central secondary.
Never knew Claremont was the Eton of that educational powerhouse, M14
That’s fair enough mate.
I hate having beer, or worse chucked on me at a concert. But a gig where everyone is sober and people just have a pint in between the support acts or the encore, would probably be pretty boring.
It’s getting to that stage now at home games. Unless it’s like the Liverpool game where there’s loads riding on it, it’s pretty tame and pretty boring atmosphere wise
If say they allowed beer to be drunk in the stands in certain areas, say the South Stand, I do think it would help to make the atmosphere better.
There’s a fine line between a passionate atmosphere and it tipping over in to lairyness, but I think if you restricted it to certain areas where everyone knows what they’re signing up for, it could be a good thing.
Seriously, you need to wind your neck in. After all, you were the one who described a City fan who fell asleep in his seat because he’d had one over the eight as “sub-human”. Fuck me, if he was hurling abuse at you and acting a c*nt then fair enough, but to be described like that for daring to fall asleep pissed up smacks of someone who would be better off taking up trainspotting than someone who claims to enjoy a drink at the football.
Most fans know where the line is between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour, but on a scale of 1-10, falling asleep hardly constitutes sub-human behaviour and if you think it does then your moral compass is in urgent need of re-adjustment.
it will be the same when we are leaving in the morning too when them lot are coming into manc as we leaveThe train on the way home will be fun. Cockney reds coming back us leaving. Where’s them boxing gloves I had gone
The said fan, had been gurning and lolling around in his seat the whole of the first half, he was asleep in the fucking aisle while his mates were hurling insults at everybody.
I have taken on board the fact that yourself and some others accept this as modern day football fan behaviour.
It does seem strange to me that staying awake, supporting the team, while being in a fit state to communicate with other humans, now calls into question ones "moral compass"
You are the type that when in gets on top you blame the lads who keep you safe remember the semi then the shield I bet you wernt calling the guv errors then pal horses for coursesThe said fan, had been gurning and lolling around in his seat the whole of the first half, he was asleep in the fucking aisle while his mates were hurling insults at everybody.

Oh, do fuck off you lying twat. You never said anything about his mates hurling insults in your original post. Now you’re changing the goalposts - adding bits on and trying to be clever.
You called him sub-human. You also said you gave him a couple of toe pokes. Very fucking classy. If anyone was behaving in a sub-human way I’d say it was you.
