Things you don’t see anymore in football

Mid 90's Maine Road-esque sloping style netting or ones with a stansion at the back like the old Wembley nets.

Teams coming out and just kicking a single ball around in the warm-up, taking turns to shoot at the keeper.

Unbelievable but true. It was the norm when I first went to a game (I go back a long way).

In those days, English coaches did little work with the ball, believing it was best to leave the players ”hungry” for it. Bonkers: “Ok lads, you are footballers, so we will train by running up and down the stand. You can kick the ball on Saturday.”
 
Young fans cowering at the front as a hail of bottles rains down, from utter pricks at the back, raging Rangers got another penalty and thinking they are fucking Thor.

Rivers of piss flowing down the steps and into that hole in your Adidas Kick.

Guys horizontal steaming drunk, lying in the cascading aforementioned pish.

Their nearly as steaming pals trying to get zonko up. Fucking lift the ****. Whit you lookin it ya ****?

And many, many more.

The "occasional" warm up was two players kicking a ball to each other on either side of the pitch. And it was a novelty to see that

Only three match officials
The lino on the dugout side had the responsibility of checking the player/s entering the field of play

Only two named subs allowed

Also the lino checking a players studs when coming on as a sub
