Hibs have a good crew. There was bother years ago on Nick Barmbys Boro debutI was shocked by the amount of policing for a friendly. I was actually wondering if there had been some sort of intel about Hearts fans getting tickets or something.
Have you not seen the Snooker Frontline?You're gonna have to stick to the snooker...
Thanks
That was me, mate. I've retired now. That's all behind me.Have you not seen the Snooker Frontline?
I have only ever seen one idiot (Scotsman) step out of line at Murrayfield and the people around him gave him short shrift.On segregation, Twickenham is an interesting place. Loads of integration of fans , and beers at seats but still large swathes of fans singing Swing Low. We had about 40 Italians behind us in good voice and great form but all friendly and good humoured. The fan parks outside are also superb. I suppose they do the thuggery on the pitch!
What I don't understand about all these quiet sports is that I've never heard anyone drop a fart. Do snooker, golf and tennis fans not fart? I can't imagine anything less pleasant than sitting there for however long a snooker match goes on trying to suppress a fart. What do people do in these situations, leave the arena? Thinking about it I suppose people just let rip when there's applause after they've potted a tricky shot. That can't be pleasant in and of itself. Ronnie O'Sullivan sinks a tricky brown and all of a sudden you've got three or four hundred people dropping a big one.When it comes to watching live, snooker is vastly superior in my experience based purely on the cringeworthy behaviour (or lack of) of fellow attendees.
The only coke you could get when I first started going to games was either Coca-Cola or Pepsi and fighting was rife on the terracesCocaine is the thing. Was a very rare thing when I started boozing in the 90s and bother was very easy to avoid.
More coke; more chew.
I think this is exactly what happens! It’s the only explanation.What I don't understand about all these quiet sports is that I've never heard anyone drop a fart.

Exactly.And that is why I pray that beer is never allowed in the stands at our games.
And this is exactly what I'm planning to do. Will book various hotels in different parts of the country and cancel when the draw is made.I saw earlier in the week that the Euro's are in Germany 2024 and thought it would be a great place to go and watch football. Unfortunately, to enjoy it, you would avoid any games involving England or areas that a large number of England fans are staying.
Fully agree with this, the experience in Germany is absolutely brilliant and centred around the supporter (might not be a coincidence that clubs are at least partially fan owned though?)Was in Germany for a couple of Bundesliga games last month.
Fans mixing in the ground and travelling to and from the games. Beer everywhere - on the buses and trains, in the ground, in the stands. Big crowds and an atmosphere that absolutely pïsses on what we have here.
And zero bother. It's pathetic and embarrassing how we carry on. We're treat like children because we don't deserve any better.
