Exactly, was going to post the below myself but you beat me to it. "Smallprint - all donations directly paid to the V. Putin Benevolent Fund"

(firstly let's get the joke out of the way - yes, his surname is rather inappropriate given his alleged actions) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60576423 Does anyone else think it's strange that there was outrage when he signed for Raith (and also now loaned to Clyde) but not whilst he...

Shame he didn't go the full Richard Richard: "My trousers blew off in a storm" "My trousers simply fell open" "I was performing a Welsh medieval folk dance"

Shame he wasn't able to knobble the jury

Like many on here, I'm personally not offended by someone drinking a beer in a plastic seat in a stadium - it happens enough in other sports. But I do think that, since it's banned in law, the authorities (club, coppers etc) should be making more of an effort to stop widespread flouting of the...

O I don't think anyone is getting worked up about drinking per se. It's a problem when it turns into anti social behaviour such as sustained bad language, unpleasant taunting of opposition fans and players, pitch invasions and physical violence.

They must have got off the M6 far too early and ended up at the Ricoh by mistake, no wonder they were looking around wondering where they were "this doesn't look much like Anfield darling"

I did once see a mass brawl at an England v Australia day/night ODI at Old Trafford, looked to be between Man U and Man C fans. Never reported in the media but there were about 20 blokes properly brawling and loads of people sensibly getting out of the way. But that's an exception - hadn't been...

UK law bans drinking at football but not other sports. I have drunk beer in stands watching cricket, rugby, horse racing and rugby league without assaulting anyone, but it's the knobhead minority they're worried about. Judging by events this season e.g. Derby, lifting the ban may be unwise.

Well if it's banned (and that's in law, so not the club's choice) you have to restrict it. Otherwise we risk getting into licensing issues and a possible sanction like a fine which, judging by our latest accounts, we can't really afford. If the authorities did decide to unban drinking in...

Sorry I should have done that one last night but fluffed my chance then as had a couple of beers

Well as much as I wouldn't mess with Sting a) there's only 3 of them b) they're all 70+ now and c) no real prospect of them getting back together - certainly not for minimum wage steward wages. Copeland and Summers don't need that sort of money.

What time do you have to turn up to get a good space there?

Out of interest, where's your getaway parking location of choice?

Mate, your house sounds horrible

Except usually, in the past, it has indeed been stewards who refuse entry to the seating area to anyone with a drink, or confiscate alcohol from anyone found possessing it in the stadium bowl. What's changed? If stewards are not there to enforce ground regulations then why bother to employ them?

So in your view whose responsibility is it to prevent drinking in stands / drug abuse in the ground? Not stewards, not fans.....?

Are you suggesting that fans who object to open drug consumption at games should take matters into their own hands as "have a go hero" stewards?

You say that, I saw it kick off at a Paul Carrack gig, people fill fall out about anything Not sure why this has become a problem this season? Don't remember serious crowd trouble at the Ricoh in the past?

Yeah and in the vid, the stewards just slouch away when they see that half a dozen roasters are challenging them to nick their mate. Tools. I do get that sometimes discretion is the better part of valour and nobody wants to see a repeat of the scenes from the Derby game about 10 years ago, but...
