In Rosie's after the match at one point there seemed to be a crowd of dodgy looking fans of theirs gathering outside the Irish Club. It quickly dispersed when the police + dogs/horses showed up but seemed to just move further down towards the Gate.
We got talking to one of the security lads while waiting for the bus home and he said some of our fans were baiting them up Barrack Road and launching bricks, but it was all teenage dickheads. if true.
I love these European nights in the SE Corner. Sitting up in L7 for evening games was always fucking freezing and windy as hell, but down in the corner it's really quite mild. Downside is I could hear nowt from the away fans.
I've brought my retro scarf with me, I'm not swapping it with anyone. Mind none of them would want it. It's based on:

Didn't realise Adam Johnson was playing until he got hauled off .
At one point well into the game the commentator mentioned his name and myself and about 4 other people around me all said something along the lines of "Wow, I'd forgotten Johnson was playing"
