Embarrassed/ashamed

I remember a very very cold Gateshead away ( we lost 1 nil ) and said hard boys queuing up to warm their hands in the toilets at half time……well hard

They won’t be reading these sensible comments.  Probably sold their phones for drugs, have no concentration span and can’t read anyway due to missing too much schooling.

Yes lots of sensible comments on here - send them to Derry, conscript everyone, national service, birch them. Presumably behaviour amongst young idiots was much better back in the 70s and 80s when teachers could batter kids or you could stick a gun in their hand and send them overseas? Oh…maybe not.

Could always consider why some people feel the need to smash 10 cans in a 2hour journey, or treat service staff like shíte. Might require a bit more introspection for some though.

Just for a bit of balance I normally go to Lincoln on the urine for a day around Xmas , get that last train back is a experience to make footy fans look tame , same coming back from Donny races it’s the culture of this country.

Quoted from It Bites

Simpletons are a drain on society on so many levels . I’ll be glad when conscription starts again , we’ll see how brave they are then , cannon fodder

Sounds like you a believer in Eugenics ?

It’s a debate for the non football board but it’s always interesting to see how popular conscription is amongst those i) too old for it and ii) who didn’t volunteer to serve when they were of the age that would be called up for it. The forces wouldn’t want the hooligan groups anyway.

Quoted from HerveJosse

Attention seeking. Ignore and move away . Back in the day had crumbling terracing thrown at us at Valley Parade  bottles thrown at roof at OSG so that glass rained down and mate pummelled and in hospital at the Baseball Ground . You really did have concerns for your safety in those days today it’s just annoying

I remember at Millmore cups of urine being thrown over the back of a home stand onto us making our way along the walkway to the away end below and a Police horse standing on a town supporters foot.

Just for a bit of balance, this was nice to come across yesterday -



Just before the geriatrics on here starting rounding young kids up.

This is always spouted after football related incidents.
I remember years ago when 40-50 fans were arrested after a fight Vs Scunthorpe around 7-8 of the people arrested were  serving in the forces of ex forces .

Used to happen at Wembley when folks would lob bottles down from the top of the steps.  It's society I'm afraid.  I believe that it's folks who are suddenly free from the ties of home/mother/wife/father.  Seen it in France.  Brits get off the boat who wouldn't speed (too much!) on their local road - straight up to 100 kph on a 50 kph road.  One bloke from the City of London in an Audi caught doing 250kph on a motorway instead of sticking to somewhere near the 130kph he was allowed anyway.  It's all a demonstrable lack of maturity.
