There were plenty of people around ,that's my point would you like to see police at an EFL game waviving a gun around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see them all the time when in London, at the stations, in the streets everywhere. They don’t really wave them around though, so I’m not sure why they would if they were at a game, unless they are the new flanges ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggle to see how they can stop him attending matches, although I quite like what they said on TalkSport earlier suggesting whenever Birmingham are playing, home or away, he should either have to wear a tag or report to the local police station to prove he is not attending the match. That would be the TalkSport who employ the convicted drink driver Alan Brazil right? Don't get me wrong - the fan deserves some punishment. But the frothing outrage dished out by some media organs lacks balance, credibility and is ultimately hypocritical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was disgusting was some of the tweets that went about regarding Grealish's deceased brother after the game. I'd rather see the authors of those go to prison than someone who had a swing at a player. Of course, it was unacceptable behaviour that warrants punishment (14 weeks sounds about right to me). But everyone is going way over the top when it was just one idiot fan who was immediately stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phuket Ram Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Having watched the incident again, it looks like a blatant dive by Grealish - there was very little contact and he went down quite easily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a really important point - the completely irrational loathing by some people is horrible, dangerous and possibly pathological. Now, how are the dark fruits,?

Budgetary constraints have restricted me to Strongbow Original and sober homes games, thus preventing me from consuming the nectar of the gods. I've got a poo tonne of work to do over the next few weeks and I have to start revising for exams after that, so I won't really be drinking too much. My liver probably appreciates it. This summer will be a different story though. Festivals, nights out and (hopefully) a 40-hour-week income to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White thunder and/or lightening is about 2.50 a gallon and apart from rendering you blind and thinking @Boycies arse crack is a national monument it's not bad value ?

However, you did remind me that I've started buying 1.5 litre bottles of Lambrini for £3.50. The game we play involves duct-taping your hand to the bottle and not removing it until you finish the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Not sure what's worse... taking a poor swing at a football player, or purple-vomiting all over a brand spanking new VW, that someone had just paid the deposit on, ready to collect the following day! ...

Those tweets were genuinely sick and you can but despair at the mentality of those that posted them, however I think the authorities have to take the punch more seriously than a tweet. It's very easy to ignore abuse on social media, very difficult to ignore a punch to the head. It's merely good fortune that Grealish wasn't hurt by the assault. Thankfully the guy was produced a laughably poor punch, but it's his intent that should be punished rather than the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Twitter is not a good place for meaningful anything really. It highlights the worst and most simplistic versions of everything. It's good fir a quick "pulse check" and trolling Nixon but best ignored for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
