EFL Class A Football Ban

My point is that it’s wrong that the minority ruin it for the rest of us. Punish them appropriately, but to have laws specific to the sport you choose to watch because of a minority is fundamentally wrong.

I’ve seen so much drug taking, drunken behaviour, fighting at the horse racing and no one bats and eyelid

Football is a tea party compared to horse racing, the big boxing fights etc.

I completely take your point .

But going back to my original comment.. the examples set by idiots at the euros have done nothing to help change the stigma, rightly or wrongly, when compared to other sports.

But surely that's any rule or law that's been brought into effect? Through a disruptive minority spoiling it for the rest of us.

Whilst football was getting better in the 00s and 10s, sadly there are signs of it slipping back into its old ways, with incidents and arrests rising post-covid. Watching series like Football Cops highlights the issues the sport still has.
 
How long should football fans be punished for what happened in the past? Punishing people for what others did years ago?

In fact most of the people commenting are of an age where it was rife, maybe we should profile football fans and anyone over 50 should be banned.
But those issues were resolved by… authorities getting to grips with the situation and figuring out how to deal with it. Partly because of these laws.

fwiw I agree that it is worth trialling different things - I live in Sweden and you can drink 3.5% beer in the stands and it’s fine - but let’s not pretend that the problem and the scale of the problem is a) gone away or b) not unique to football fans.

Just because someone puked at a rugby match once or there’s a fight or two at the horses doesn’t mean it’s anywhere near the level in football. For a not insignificant number of fans it’s part of the culture of football fandom - the casual scene is alive and well.

This is an issue with society, not football as a sport
 
I'm an advocate for football violence and public disorder, but there's something about taking coke into a football match which just seems a bit pathetic to me.

Drugs are for nights out, keep them away from the football. There are kids around.

Some people have a few drinks and have a line (or bump as it is now), the two seem to go together for them, don’t seem to be able to have a drink without it. Think it’s gone past big night out/sesh, it’s just something they do alongside having a few pints, like having a fag or a pack of scampi fries.

Amazes me how they can afford to do it in this cost of living crisis.

I used to work with a young lad who had to buy a certain amount each month because he owed so much money to his dealer, he basically had a finance deal on cocaine, while he was still buying he didn’t get stabbed, so I suppose their are ways and means.
 
There were 2 queues at the Green Man insides toilets.
One for the urinals and one for the cubicles which was known as the coke queue.
Says it all about where we are today when the coke queue was longer.
As someone of advancing years I must admit I was a bit taken aback of the scale and openess of it.

Also says people need to get quicket at taking it, maybe they could practice at home as I don't see why it should take longer than a p**s.

I mean, I can't claim to have always been the cleanest living, but the c**t in me certainly enjoys joining the second queue and filling the bowl with absolute vileness, and colouring the air for hours to come.

Grumpy old men come in many forms.
 
If people want to drink fair enough, football is more exciting to watch than Rugby though so it’s never bothered me.

But I wouldn’t want to lose that tribal part of football support, I like the fact we are separated, creates a better atmosphere.

People forget the main difference between Rugby and football is that football is more club based, club rugby doesn’t have the same passion, no one really cares if they win or lose they are just there to wear s**t shoes and get drunk, hardly any away fans. Football actually matters, why would the much bigger sport need to copy the little one?
Now describe cricket!

Commits crime, gets punishment.

Hardly "news" is it?

As for drugs in society. Give it away free on the NHS - you know it`s clean, the related crime to fund the habits drops off a cliff, less workload for the plod, far fewer gangs carving each up with machetes (#BLM and all that). Addicts overdose and die in a back alley so what?

Sorted. E`s are good...... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

f**k off, you want to buy drugs and you can have them within an hour 24/7, you want an appointment at your GP you might wait a month. Let drug dealers run the NHS, show you lazy fuckers how to graft.
 
I think people above a certain age would be shocked if they found out just how widely used cocaine is now. Pubs, clubs, gigs, sports events, plays, casual gatherings - there's always at least one person on it.

I am 45 and Coke has been widely used since I started going out, so wondering what the age is that its is a shock.

The older people on here do seem to have an idea that cocaine is being dealt by Pablo Escobar and gangs are marauding the streets, its nothing like that.
