Drunken coked up old Blades "wanting it".

[Nightsweats]

Post match returning to Wembley Park tube the huge crowd was stopped twice to allow those in the station to depart creating space to safely allow more in. The policing/stewarding was excellent. Unfortunately a large number of amoeba took the opportunities when everyone was stationery to entertain themselves by chanting at the smaller number of City fans to our right. The second forced stop occured in a tunnel with no way of getting away from anything that kicked off. That it didn't was largely due to the City fans not rising to the taunting from a combination of stone island retards and middle aged cretins all with young kids in tow. They clearly thought their threatening posture and constrant streams of obscenities were character building and they were being great role models for their poor confused kids. Personal decision made whilst trapped in this version of Dantes Inferno was that never again would I go to Wembley if we get there and that I will do a cost benefit analysis on whether going to anymore away games is really worth it. I wouldn't choose to spend several hours in the "company" of things I thought went extinct a millenia ago so maybe it's time to just leave the absolute lunatics to it.

Don’t know if maybe I look the sort to be interested but I was offered some of the aforementioned sniff in what I assume was the same Baker Street boozer you’re talking about.

Not for me lads, but you do you.

I very nearly got into a fight turning a line down, you'd of thought I'd slapped his nan this kid was so offended. His words:

"Eh?? Would you turn a pint down? Cheeky cunt you near enough £30 iv just offered you and you look at me like that!"

Eyes wide open, spit flying all over place couldn't of been older than 19.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

I can only assume they haven't seen the video of him helping the kid with cerebral palsy... Certainly not the actions of a "fucking cunt" and definitely doesn't warrant "Baldock snap the cunt in two" ...

Honestly, what kind of trauma did these guys suffer to have so much bile stored up???

Doesn't his sister have CP? Which is why he helps others out with CP? He's a nice guy off the pitch. Just a diving fucker on it (some people might call it "winning fouls". Him and Eze are 'the most fouled' players in the PL. Yeah....).

Hiya Stegosaurus

I think you'll be surprised to find that the idiots you describe look nowt like this. I am fat, bald, ugly, my Blades shirts are a bit tight and I have shit tats. But I'm not at all interested in acting like a cunt at footy games, in particular when I wear the club's colours. All I want is to sit, watch footy, sing and cheers us on.

You might want to widen your profiling a bit and look at what you look like, your neighbour and any other ordinary person on the street. Hooligans aren't of a specific type. They are just there and for none of the reasons above. And they are cunts.

Stegosaurus was definitely stereotyping - typical pig.

I've found out you can enjoy away games if you don't take public transport and avoid places where people consume alcohol.

This logic also applies to any other situation in life.

This cocaine epidemic is horrible. It turns decent people into not very nice people and not very nice people into proper cunts. Mix it with ale (which is 99% the only time people take it) and it's a problem that just won't go away. And it is becoming the vast majority rather than a small minority.

Message to anyone who takes it - give over. It gives you no benefit. And to be honest, it angers me that folk shove shite up their nose and get away scot free while I've never touched the stuff and get cancer in my fuckin sinus. Think yourselves fuckin lucky. Pricks.

I was in the hold up but the chanting from where I was standing was good natured, appreciate I could have been in a different part of the swell but mainly just blades chants and ‘can you hear the city sing’, the city fans on the right saw the funny side (again, might have been a different part of the crowd or earlier/later in the crush)

 

[cahill]

We were getting grief from some short arse drunken old blade in The Green Man. We were minding our own business and this cunt kept saying to the four of us, "you're not real blades" and then to me (I'm 52), "how long have you been a blade" so I said "all my life, though obviously not as long as you".... then he started going on about had we seen Eddie Colquhoun play, "no mate, I'm not old enough", "ah well you're not real blades". He was getting quite worked up and even punched a nearby van. At this point, the lads he was with who I think was his son was trying to calm him down and even said "don't do this again". Embarrassing. He was clearly smashed and doubt he'll remember much about the day. There's no fool like an old fool.

Bizarre behaviour. Semi v Hull brought loads of them out as well. Must only go to big games

Other than keeping you awake and make you paranoid what does Cocaine do ? Pillocks must take it for some reason

We drove to Stanmore and only used the tube for the 4 stop run to and from Wembley Park. We didn't go near anywhere selling alcohol. On top of the post match situation I described there were plenty of instances of middle aged cretins launching verbal obscenities at the pitch despite us being on the top level several hundred yards away. Most had young kids in tow. On top of that one "fan" spent the whole of the second half with his back to the pitch screaming at someone about 20 rows behind to come and fight him coupled with non stop throat slitting actions. Turns out the reason (lol) being this chap had bought a half and half scarf.
The flaw in your arguement is avoiding where you go and how you travel outside the venue is fine. You have no control inside and all seater prevent you from simply moving away from the pond life which I can assure you was a depressingly large number in our Block alone.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Does it still go on ,the ‘do what i do or youre not a proper Blade’ intimidation then ?

Not from anyone you would feel remotely intimidated by, they are just little wankers. That doesn’t bother me at all. I just choose not to spend my precious leisure time corralled into an away end around people I despise and would feel ashamed to be associated with. Seen too much really shitty behaviour.

 

[William Large]

I thought that due to the fact that we were always expected to lose and in the end did so quite comfortably, the atmosphere after the game was in the main quite friendly and light hearted on Wembley way.
Sad to report that the only people I saw who were aggressive, shit faced / coked up, were ‘Blades’
Special mention to the pond life who started a fight on the walkway to the tube because he thought ‘you were city’ so decided to start smacking another blade. Like following another club is justification…. Particularly when the other lad wasn’t even doing anything to provoke it.
I couldn’t give a monkeys if they want to scrap amongst themselves, it’s the normal fans / kids / elderly, who are frightened by it that I feel sorry for.
In all was a decent day out, you expect there to be a larger portion of shit bags than usual at Wembley, Just glad there weren’t that many around me!

 

[JackSUFC]

Cocaine use is fuelling a new age of hooliganism in football. It’s a major problem which has been getting increasingly worse ever since crowds returned after lockdown.

What can actually be done to curb it?

 

[Dnblade]

Never came across any problems personally,apart from the lad who nearly got decapitated by looking down the platform as the door was sliding shut.
Both sets of fans mingled with no problem from what I saw,but you always get a few embarrassing themselves.

 

[Heely bottoms underpants]

If only this amount of energy and anger could be directed towards a Tory government and all the shit that comes with it.

 

[idleurchin]

Just booze and laughs for me yesterday. No trouble at all. Everyone I mingled with was having a right laugh singing and having banter. Props to the bloke that got kegged on the pub bench in the marquee. Funny as fuck and he was laughing about more than me. Great day out. No coke related issues got in the way of that, thank fuck

Love the ‘you aren’t a real / true blade’ nonsense.
Because you don’t spend every Saturday with people over half your age getting smashed and off your tits, offering out people who are either with kids or generally couldn’t give a flying fuck, or because you weren’t old enough to have seen Currie / Deano / fatty foulkes play.
Like many fans, im nearly 50, working professional with a family and life that doesn’t afford me the opportunity to act like im 20 again. Just because I don’t go to matches to get arseholed and walk round screaming obscenities doesn’t make you any less of a ‘blade’

Contrary to the above, I think that spending the majority of the match arguing and Posturing with stewards, actually only watching around 20 % of the game (at best) and trying to pick fights and antagonise those you deem ‘not bladey enough’ actually shows you to not really be a blade. Just a cunt.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Getting drunk going to football is so passé.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Other than keeping you awake and make you paranoid what does Cocaine do ? Pillocks must take it for some reason

I've asked the question of my mates loads of times. Not a loaded question, just genuine interest. "Keeps me awake longer". That it? So does caffeine which is why people drink coffee. Or power drinks. Then you get stories like yesterday of someone just offering people out for no apparent reason and people being offended for not taking some coke when offered it. Fuck is wrong with these people? Like I said above, just fuckin pricks. I had one mate have a fit he'd taken that much, foaming at the mouth and all sorts (though I suspect he'd taken other stuff as well).

Disappointed it took until post #55 to make an appearance.

Someone was threatening to beat someone up for wearing a half & half scarf?

 

[JT89]

I never understand angry drunks. I am the complete opposite it makes me happier! Fighting over football is such a weird concept to me join a boxing club if you want a scrap. You'll find one there and not be locked up!

The problem with joining a boxing club is that there you'll come up against people who can actually fight, not just people smaller than you who have no interest in fighting who you can take cheap shots at.

Not many of the idiots who cause trouble at games would be brave enough to step in a boxing ring when sober and the few that would could probably put that down to stupidity rather than bravery.

I think lockdown helped increase the use of cocaine. Boredom mixed with booze (I was personally drunk 6 out 7 days of the week but I don't do sniff/beak/bag/kekka - fuckin hate that word) didn't help. Plus all the money people were getting for nowt. Coppers know who's doing it at the football. They need only walk in the bogs at any given point and see how many people need a shit in the same cubicle. But they do nothing. No idea why. It's same in some bars and clubs with the cubicle queues.

Pretty sad really. Especially those who do it in the house on a random Tuesday night when emmerdale is on. Or those who get kids to bed and have a dabble. Not only is that sad as fuck but it's also dangerous. Those kids have an accident and need hospital treatment and you're there sniffing every 2 seconds, that kid is likely not going home with you when it's fine again.

[Nightsweats]

Someone was threatening to beat someone up for wearing a half & half scarf?

Yes. Exactly that. There were 2 guys, mid 20s with half and halves.
This cretin decided he wanted to batter one of them and literally spent the 2nd half back to the pitch going through the full repetoire of hand gestures as well as a few that were new to me along with easily lip readable mouthings. He ended up walking up the steps to their row but fortunately City got their 3rd just as he was getting close to the pair and he turned and went back to his spot. Mental. He would have been in his mid 40s. Was with a few like souls and their stunningly desireable female things.

 

[CrookesBlade]

Had a great time personally and didn’t see any trouble. Both sets of fans seemed to be mixing well which shocked me given how much affection Man City have for our neighbours across the city.

Atmosphere in ground wasn’t great but it never is usually. So hard to get anything going.

Atmosphere outside afterwards on the walk back up Wembley way was great.

 

[TJ blade]

I actually quite like him and think that he has matured as a person and a player under Pep. Although George had a good game against him yesterday he still made a good pass for the third. Old Jack would have tried to take on the defence and lose the ball. New Jack, waited for the movement, which always comes with City, and then made the perfect pass.
After what he has endured on a pitch, a few Sheffield United fans booing him really won’t affect him

He's a diving twat, otherwise called a cheat for fucks sake!!

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Must admit when I saw the 4:45 KO, combined with previous experiences, I thought twice about taking my daughter (6). Certainly not calling the above accounts into question, but thankfully saw nothing of the sort. Special mention to the lad in front, who'd clearly enjoyed his fair share of ale, for passing my daughter any balloon that landed near him and thus keeping her entertained for the nearly all of the first half.

I think that lad in front who had clearly () enjoyed his fair share of ale might have been me!
Light green jacket, sat in one of the top corners?

Thanks for reminding me about the toilets in the Green Man, they were one of the most disgusting toilets I've been in.
