Aye, think he said something too. Don't blame him one bit. Remember Scott parker doing something similar? Think he told some miserable bloke in the east stand to fuck off if I remember correctly was topic of the week on the 3 legends phone in

Was getting dogs abuse by "fans" in the Gallowgate today

Yep. Started for us week in week out in a team that finished in the top 4 and was robbed from champions league progression, but not good enough for them 👍

Anyone know where I can watch this in Athens?

Don't think so no, with the exception of those that got moved to the standing section at the start of the season. I had tried to move next to some mates at the beginning of the previous season and was told only those who can provide a medical reason along with documented proof can move seats.

Yep rejection for me as well

The few lads round me who joined in sang c*nts yesterday. Not doubting there are many that still sing the old version sadly, agreed they need to stop

I thought even the corner was poor for large periods yesterday tbh. There's still plenty of folk in there who are only there because they couldn't be arsed to move elsewhere when it became safe standing

It's just another example of how poorly thought out the current process is. Here's hoping NUSC can stop the lad losing his loyalty points

I'm in the corner and I was looking up today baffled like. I guess the *only* excuse is that they didn't get told it was standing when they bought it. Fairplay to you like for being sensible. I'm probably the softest bloke in the whole ground and think I would have ended up getting a ban for refusing if forced to sit down in a safe standing section

Funny you should say that, seemed quiet on telly compared to villa/Fulham

It's been sung since I started going to aways in 2010, but as I say just a small number of folk singing all 3 verses usually

Not sure, until maybe a year or two pre COVID you'd only ever hear the full song (Joe Harvey took a holiday/bring on your hearts your Hibs your Celtics/who's that team we call united) sung by a small number at away games or at the back of the corner. Then all of a sudden the final verse became our "main" chant overnight

Was my first away game that, class night despite the final result

I know five lads there today who don't have season tickets or memberships...

To ring of fire Kraft and dummet at the back... Tino on the overlap... Ritchie's staying ten more years ... Geordie boys we're on the beers Definitely not my favourite though at least we seem to not sing it at the speed of light

Was definitely my view as well. Half of my bus were over 60 I'd say

I'd also point out there was virtually no bother when Sunderland played through here last time when they had no official escort and could make their own way from central. Been no bother at their place for a while too. People aren't as hard when there aren't lines of coppers separating them. Treat people like animals and they behave that way. Treat people with respect and the overwhelming majority will act sensibly

Hope not. Was shit. Put on a double decker at St James Park with no toilet. The bus then stopped at Scotswood road for 45 minutes waiting for the entire rest of the busses in our slot to fill up. Lads asked the coppers if they could nip off and into the bushes for a piss, and they were told they'd be nicked and given a five year ban if they did. Never seen anything as dramatic in my life as police motorbikes speeding past us as we arrived at each roundabout, to stop traffic from any other exit entering the roundabout while the convoy approached. Wouldn't do it again

Was okay. Not as bad as they're making out. Not as good as you'd hope

Demographics on my bus is "wembley like" ...

Sounded excellent on the telly, barely heard their fans

Bubble trip absolute shite. Northumbrias finest should be ashamed. Only police force in the country that can't handle a derby match without Draconian conditions. Imagine being on the 9.45am double decker bus with no alcohol ffs

Seemed like a lot better atmosphere than usual in the Leazes end, was good to see a lot standing too! Canny atmosphere in the first half in the Gallowgate but a bit flat second half. That central section in the Gallowgate is a real vacuum of noise like, the demographics are more east stand than home end.

I go to games with loads of different groups of mates depending on the match
