Rattles and stands.
The peanut man who could throw a bag so accurately he'd make millions as an NFL quarterback!
I don't hear any racist chants at Spurs any more although you do hear the odd knuckle dragger make a ripe comment, this seems to be getting less common now though which is a good thing. As for the abusive chants at the opposing team/fans, I'm all for that, especially the goons. It's quite therapeutic letting it all out for 90 mins and part of the atmosphere, if you don't like it go and watch rugby or cricket (sitting down).
these days you never see a dog on the pitch
Or a streaker
Friend of mine went to a Liverpool home game & was hit on the head by a soup ladle. Can’t say you see that much these days.
didnt realise SM had written so many books, id quite happily read em all going by the amazon bumph…
You can save time by only reading one and extrapolating from there.
You don't see this
And you don't hear things like this anymore
Balls getting stuck in the mud.
Players falling over due to contact.
Personalities that look like kids TV characters
Combovers.
Snowball fights.
Bellies.
A lack of teeth.
The smell. Bovril mixed with sweat, farts, pies and beer.
Deep into the second half, a phalanx of the boys in blue would walk in front of the home supporters, going outside in case of shenanigans after the game. Every man, woman and child would start to chant, sing or whistle the theme tune from Laurel and Hardy as they passed.
Stadium security must be a lot tighter these days as well. I've seen dogs, cats and even a fox on the pitch during games in the 70's/80's. Haven't seen any kind of animal make an appearance on the pitch for years (no Vinnie Jones jokes, please) and I'm at every home and quite a few away games each season. It would be a bit of light relief after having to watch the debacle that my club's turned into this season, believe me.
Orange ball in the snow
"Err ra tablet, err ra macaroon!"
Kwenchy Kups for the weans, Tartan Special for your da, yer uncle, yer granda
Invacars lined up round the track between the pitch and the stand.
Bolton scoring.
Proper punch ups....thats what! None of this touching heads nonsense and then rolling around on the floor. This is proper stuff:
Chomp bars on the pitch at Griffin Park
