But you guys they were only looking out for us. Just found this, particularly pertinent for Addicks:

But come on, what a way to go.

What the club have stayed quieter on are the whistles. Acme Thunderers can be bought on Amazon for as little as £2.60 ... a few hundred of those and you have absolute chaos and almost impossible to police, especially if scattered around the stands.

I think the whistles should make a comeback at some point, but not tomorrow. We need variety.

The whistles need to be good quality ones, not the ones that were issued last time. The one good quality one made the Boro player stop, a few hundred of these would make the game unplayable, if they were all blown at the same time.

First five minutes of each half - enough to halt play, but not enough to get a game abandoned (though I can understand that the use of the other whistles was deliberate, to maximise TV awareness without impacting the game).

Apparently they use Fox whistles. Not overly expensive. http://www.referee-equipment.co.uk/Catalogue/Whistles/Fox-40-Whistles

Me and Mrs TT blew away heartily in the east stand with decent whistles but to little effect. I think that short sharp blasts from different areas to mimic the ref may be more effective.

Thank f__k, I am already on a caution for cutting the hair off of my sisters Barbie Doll in 1972!!!!

Wow. God knows what they would have done with me if they'd found out I used to rip the heads off my sisters dolls and hide them...

Those electronic ones would be handy to keep in your pocket, pressing the button to whistle and driving the stewards mad... ;-)

Phew, old bill confirm as they have at every protest so far


'Nothing to see here for us, paid to turn up by the club, total waste of our time.'

Now some of the old old bill were proper nasty and some of the new old bill seem proper green but on balance them laughing this off but charging for it seems proportionate. And keeps the extra police horses in oats.

Ah, did you misread notches as lipstick too

I, for one, as a taxpayer* am disappointed. Such hooliganism and madness should not be allowed to stand!!

*I'm not a taxpayer there.

SDAddick

Oh, also, @LouisMend good old fashioned journalism here, getting clarity on this nonsense. Good on you, thank you for continuing to be such an excellent voice of the supporters.

I think some people see this as cheating, we need to take the moral ground, we fans of other clubs to be on our side.
