Could be wrong but this whole beer throwing thing seems to have only started in the last 5 years or so. Remember a few away days in league one (Doncaster and Man U in the cup) watching daft lads filming themselves throwing pint pots at the ceiling at half time. Never usually seen anybody spill a drop intentionally on an away day previously.
Then the 2018 World Cup came round and everyone seemed to want to out do each other throwing as much beer into the air as possible for the internet likes. Now that Croydon Box Park place that did the most famous video of pints going up in the air sells tables for tournament games at £100 a go with people showing up seemingly just to get covered in beer.
When watching the Euros in a pub in Sheffield (with full coronavirus restrictions in force) the spotty youths on the table behind kept trying to accidentally-on purpose send their table flying every time England scored. They ended up getting chucked out.
At Hull away a few weeks ago I was suprised by how much beer was flying back and forth between the fans.
It’s fucking madness. There used to be a real art form to celebrating a goal pint in hand. Now it’s part and parcel of trying to become YouTube famous that everyone around you needs a good soaking.
People at away games heading down the concourse to chuck beer around and set flares off for a “proper class atmosphere” who haven’t made a peep in the stands AND while the game is still going on. What’s the point???
