Often disappointed, never discouraged
That whole "trying-to-break-through-the-stewards-but-not-really-trying" move is one of the funniest sights in football.
Indeed. I know which side they'd have been on in 1984/5.

I'm sure you'll think I'm a miserable old git for disagreeing, but even if the canister had injured the vilest of their fans, it would not have been a good day for football or United. Please don't give our morons any encouragement.“Animals a lot of them. One of the flares was on fire as it come across, hits a kid or something and it’s a serious injury.”
Flares do tend to be on fire, that's why they're flares, silly bastard. Except it wasn't a flare it was a smoke canister.
“Throwing flares at kids. Classy as ever”
There were no children in that area. There were fat bald middle-aged arseholes with crap tattoos trying to goad Blades fans from the outset. If one of those twats copped for it then I'm satisfied.
If that's what "kids" look like in Burslem then that place has bigger problems than I thought....

Massively off topic but I also read a great quote from an Oxford fan today
"Wilder is the former style manager, although he does give trust to players and they respect him. But will that take him to the PL? Unlikely. No PL club will pick him up for a gig because he has an old-fashioned style which doesn't fit the modern game. His best chance is taking Sheff Utd there.
I'm sorry to bring up Wilder again but the contrast is very, very important. The Wilder era represents the old Oxford. A club which was constantly battling for survival, scraping by on average budgets, playing the percentages to scrape together as many points as possible. We couldn't even afford a scout for chrissakes. Appleton is the new Oxford"

But did taking canisters/flares make the Blades fans safer yesterday or in the future? It's a bit like kids carrying knives for protection, it doesn't lead to good outcomes.Well I'm a "Do Unto Others" sort of person. The scenes witnessed yesterday would not have occured at any other place in the division because such idiocy has rarely been invited. Port Fail fans have previous when it comes to crowd trouble and were fully intent on engaging in it yesterday.
Whoever threw those objects yesterday was an idiot regardless, but if that object hits another idiot in a crowd of idiots then it's only idiots being harmed or punished for their actions.
Prefer not to be given the choice. I want to watch a football match.Who here would rather be hit by a flare than a brick?
I for one.
I will never tire of reading this sort of bonkers stuff about Appleton. Tomorrow's Man...The New Oxford...it's just bizarre.
Amazing how these flying objects always, always end up hitting kids isn't it?

Your reaction is very understandable. It was putting things in a way that can appear to encourage more of the same that concerned me. Though I imagine most of them don't read this or anything else. Sermon over, and back to enjoying promotion.You make a fair point, of course you're absolutely right, there are wider implications for such behaviour and actions, consequences that potentially affect us all.
But I just can't help being satisfied that yesterday they got as good as they gave.

Algorithms mate. I get adverts for guitars and watches and, more recently, microwaves because that's what I've been looking at on my browser.Roy: does everyone get the ads for foreign ladies with 'the view from', or is it targeted only at those of us you assume are lonely old men?![]()
