letting the side down

Don't know about BlueLou but I went to Brann and to Firenze and yes there was a minority of people who you could say, let the side down.
I enjoy a drink like most people but some of these guys and a few women too, were so drunk they couldnt stand up. I averted my eyes :( whilst a bloke who was very drunk pissed himself because he couldnt open his trousers in time. Bear in mind he was standing next to me in the corner at Brann. I don't have photos but yes, it did happen!

Violence? yes, at Fiorentina, some of our own fans had no regard for anyone, - push, shove and kick out. The cops were antagonistic in the extreme but some of our own idiots just wound them up which hardly helped. There's always two sides to the story and the authorities were not blameless but drunken idiots squaring up to police officers armed to the teeth was always going to cause a bit of bother!

Football games are not vicar's team parties, I don't have any sort of problem with the language or the banter but I don't expect to see the sort of behaviour I've seen at the away matches.
Funny how I never see it in the LGS where all the scallies (like me?) are supposed to be.

Having said all that it is always a minority who spoil it with their obnoxious behaviour. It's not clever to piss yourself and it's not clever to create an atmosphere of fear at the games.

If anyone comes on here and says 'if you don't like it, stay away', well, that's exactly what I've done, I didnt go to Liege because after Florence I said never again.
Is it right though that ordinary fans like me stop going because a minority of people behave like total morons? There's no excuse for it and eventually away matches will be no go zones for anyone who isn't into a good fight or getting totally smashed.

This is what annoys me I remember the old days when if you went to an away game you never strayed from the pack for fear of a violent attack I truly thought things had turned for the better,that young Liverpool fan with his mum ,was it really necessary to scare a child I take my grandson who is 8 so I can put myself in the mothers shoes if that happen to him ,Now Bluelass tells us this ,its unacceptable behaviour,every one has the right to expect fellow fans of every club to show some respect to each other,my last away day in Europe was the cup-winners cup final where a great atmosphere made it even better.fans really are there own worse enemies
 

As each game in Europe has passed the behaviour of our "fans" has steadily grown worse. I wonder if it is because the novelty has worn off, or are our games attracting a different type of supporter?

Certainly the behaviour at our last two away games (admittedly with much more severe policing) was markedly worse than in Kharkiv and Nuremburg. Equally the behaviour of opposing fans has worsened as we become more recognised.

Academic now, of course.
 
what amazes me at away games(and homes too) is the amount of people below the stands during the game drinking. i go to watch the game myself, certainly not to spend 30 odd quid to have the privelige of drinking warm £3.50 beer.
