SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2023/2024

You'll take what you're given ,Peasant.

 

Another medical emergency in the crowd, this time at Stagpool vs Forest. A guy died at a game last week, Bolton I think.

Safe and Effective..

 

Oh for time travel. Sellik knocking out the english champions in the semi final in front of 140,000. Mad stuff

I used to be security supervisor at ibrox so id radio them in and it was always thus. If you run the numbers just for the EPL: 35k average attendance, 10 games, 2.5 hour visit on average - its 100 life years every weekend. Somebody gone die. So i think this is just lockdown brain carrying over. Somebody might die? 'Stop everything! Shut it down! Dont you care!?' It can't last, its just gonna happen too often. If i croak at celtic Park, point my strecher at the pitch and mon the celts

 

I'd demand at least a centre-circle cremation..



I'm not at all suggesting we lock anything down .

Rather I just can't recall people dying at games or collapsing in such a way as warranted medics from the football team rushing to the stands.

It could be emotional bias ...in that it's being brought more to my attention or I'm paying more attention myself.

I just feel that more older guys are suddenly keeling over.

 

It might well be happening 10% more than it did before but i do think the big change is the demand that we stop games. Thats why its in the news. Nobody wouldve imagined doing that in 2019

 

Wait, what?

 

COVER BLOWN!!!

 

Gotta get the essential workers on the big screen, rainbows everywhere, some bird in short sleeves with tatted up forearms barking orders, you know yourself mate .

 

Haha, true! I was in charge of turnstiles/ticketing then trackside security for the main stand. Mostly a skive & i got to watch the old firm games out of view....well out of view so i wouldn't get caught celebrating or involuntarily scream 'UGLY ORANGE BASTARDS' tourettes style in the middle of the east enclosure.

 

Always the same, the hacks are full of guff AFTER the fact. It's murmurings before,but full blown after.

 

To work at either park do they do any poking around as to who you support before you can work there? I suppose the answer is no given you worked at Ibrox but maybe it depends on what the job is?

 

Yeah the top brass security at each place are supporters. At ibrox it was literally a guy with king Billy tats. Ex-army, every syereotype you like. I bet he has a portrait of Charles over his living room couch. But beneath that theyre just trying to fill jackets, nobody cares. If they can get somebody who shows up sobre and speaks English they're delighted.

 

Legend

 

Saw that yesterday.... I'm shocked, he doesn't look at all racist

 

To be honest, no. I didn't expect Sunderland to be as poor as they were. They gave it a good go, but the gap in talent was so clear.

 

Beaten again by Hull last night, a guy I thought had a bright Liverpool future (Fabio Carvalho) got the winner

 

Ivan Toney says he is available to play in Brentford's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest today.

 

Hahaha!

 

You couldn't make that shit up .....

 

Peter Ridsdale spotted in crowd at LUFC Vs PNE. ..... commentator makes no mention of the guys serial record as a wrecker, just babbles on about "glory nights"....as the crowd boos

 

Pretty sure the Buckie Thistle keeper works at the Chief Taster in a food facility manufacturing meals for Antarctic expeditions.


Arse on him like a steatopygic duck.

 

Hamish Munroe aye.

Should be 2-1 and it's 3-0

 

Buckie Thistle sounds like a shite energy drink that they sell in garish pink tins for 50p a pop.

Don't even have a crest!!

 

This is pretty remarkable, i wonder if this has ever happened at a major team before

 

That's remarkable.


I'd say it's never happened at a name team.....you hear about clusters of guys who make it, like Joe Gomez,Nathan Cline and Jordan Ibe all coming from the same part of town as ome another.

....too bad it was against a side named after the Scottish equivalent of Horny Goat Weed

 

I had the distinct pleasure of watching Clyde play Aberdeen on Friday night on the BBC. Football on an artificial surface. With snow piled along the sidelines. The stuff of childhood..

 

There are two or three artifical pitches that i can think of in the top tier,theyre comically bad. Celtic out there trying to play intricate football on a 4am nightclub carpet while the home team exercise good sense and punt it to the big man.

 

Really they look like shite "all weather" pitches down my local sports centre in Ireland.

I understand clubs in the Highlands not being able to maintain actual grass during the winter but these have also made an appearance in England and at fairly high levels

 

I think it's great they let rock bands enter a team into the Scottish cup....
