That was me that plebbed the bog roll onto the pitch at Layer Road. Because Medders big fat swede was in the way it only just made it and didn't even unravel
If we didn't have such stupid laws they wouldn't have thrown it just held it up like everyone else in the world does. But of course they'd get nicked for creating a bit of atmosphere so they had to lob it. Ever been to a game in Ireland? Cork City gates of a couple of thousand yet there's fifty people holding flares up, continuous singing from 90 minutes before kick-off to 30 minutes after, etc. If only English football was like that.
I recently went rome and saw roma vs fiorentina and the roma fans were brilliant.i sat opposite the stand where the ultras are and they were holding flares and throwing bangers that made the whole stadium shake, waving huge flags for 90 minutes and constantly singing.the atmosphere was amazing. best ive ever been to!
the old bust ticket roll i remember me and Ginge up the common waiting for a 53 to the game always the conducter gave us a couple of rolls for the footy
Rattles were they not banned as they could eb used as weapons?
Found my football rattle last night in a box in the eves of my house that has loads of old Charlton stuff.
Couldn't find my Charlton/Celtic ski hat. Who else had one of those half Charlton/half rangers/celtic/dundee hats and does anyone have a celtic one they want to give me. It's for the boy, honest. : -)

These are the Italian Ultra fans who regularly stab their opponents fans and with whom clashes recently led to the death of a policeman? Why not bring machine guns firing tracer bullets, that'll make a spectacular display and an amazing atmosphere!!
I'm sorry great atmosphere unless you happen to be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

We sat (stood) in the Roma end for the game we saw v's lazio. we had to help unravel the banners that we didnt know what they said, and there were explosions going off next to us. amazing. this was all about 90 mins before the game kicked off!

point taken. English football is past that stage now. what im saying is that we should take some elements from european atmospheres. flags on sticks for example are banned from many grounds! just the intense atmosphere really does make for better viewing in my opinion. my personal view is that there are too many rules at our football stadiums. not being allowed to stand being one of those rules.
from what i saw in italy there was total lack of stewarding and policing and this is probably one of the reason there are so many incidents. i do think if there was such little police presence at grounds in this country the trouble would just be as bad!

Chelsea last night, the League Cup final and Liverpool at home always have the flags don't they?
