EFL Class A Football Ban

[holdsteady]

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.

This is an issue with society, not football as a sport

The degradation of society in general is certainly a concern.

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.

No problem with the 5 year ban, good riddance to him. He’s the tip of the murky underworld that is behind a whole load of criminality - from petty theft to gangland executions. I’d have tripled the ban.

Surprised he has time to go to the games with such a busy schedule.

Well, you've got my vote.

He had Class A drugs, possession of which is a criminal offence. He got what he deserved.

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.

Spot on.

How anyone can say it’s a harsh ban is beyond me, I don’t think it’s anything like long enough.

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.

So the thread can be summarised as "it should be fine to take coke at the football, because otherwise you're reinforcing stereotypes of rugby fans vs football fans". Got it.

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......

E`s are good......

If they handed out free pills at the turnstiles it would reduce queues for the toilets and solve the football violence problem.

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.

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 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.
