Why are people 'embarrassed' by what these younger lads have done?

Those that where there I could understand being a bit miffed for not getting there pint when its paid for or not one at all.

all well blown out of proportion and I wonder whether scunthorpe fans care about it as much as some on here.
 
As I said to stf4ever, I would probably have found it a hoot if I was a young lad, but being the same age as you, and a little older and wiser, I cringe at some of the bellendish behaviour, when these shitehawks think they're being absolutely hilarious!

But, people can act like bellsmashes as much as they want, just as long as it doesn't impact on me. Yesterday it did, as I was denied a pint. This is unforgivable and I want lifetime bans handed out to all who were involved.

And that's all I'm going to say on the matter. (I think)

And I'd agree with you Neal, I'd just wonder how many others on here have also been just like these young lads in their youth yet still feel the need to slag them off on a forum.

These lads, like you and me, will grow up to become sensible members of the public who'll think back to yesterday and cringe at what they got up to, but that's all part of growing up I'd say.
 
Was the beer good ( when you got some)........and how did Humps play yesterday? 😉


Now you've made me reply!

The 3/4 pint shared between two of us was spectacular, as I've come to expect at English football grounds, and left me craving for more. Hence my anger at the selfish clowns who denied me the 2 pints I ordered, but still had to hand over £6.60. I don't think I'll ever get over this.

The Hump was totes amaze-balls, the complete opposite to his absolute 'mare last weekend. I'm willing him to do well, as he comes across as a nice lad. Obviously has confidence issues, particularly at home. Think there's a good player in there when he can overcome his demons.

Now stop taking it off-topic Libby. This thread is for slating our fellow fans. There is 2 current Humphrey threads for discussing Chris Humphrey, as well you know.

I'm not embarrassed, was just pissed off that a group of kids who would scarper at the first sign of any bother thought it would be 'hardcore' to set off a smoke bomb on a train.

Like Mossy and a number of others have pointed out, we were all young and stupid once, some of us are now old and stupid, and I won't have a pop at young lads for having a bit of fun, but setting off a smoke bomb on a train is the behaviour of an idiot and goes further than 'having a bit of fun'.

As someone said, maybe these kids need a trip to Leeds, Milwall or Birmingham or some place similar and have their eyes really opened. Who knows.

Anyway, each to their own.

Don't think there were many Cunny fans in our end, so very much doubt they know anything about it.
 
You don't need to throw ale or damage anything on a concourse to create a good atmosphere. Who remembers Derby away in the play offs on Youle Mawene night....that's the way to sing and sup.

A massive +1 from me. And i'd never thought i'd say that about one of your posts
 
So, Ive sat and read all the way through this thread. Seems to me that everything, somehow, has become a little warped and twisted here. The Scumbags who decided to A) Wreck parts of Scunthorpe's ground, B) Threaten people working in the Bar and then, now this is a mighty assumption here, C) Go on and set a smoke bomb off and D) Indecently assault a woman, are seen as heroes.

Conversely, the ones who are appalled by the type of behavior of these low lives are somehow portrayed as being the enemies of society and are subject of all kinds of abusive comments.

What a strange place England has become.

That's PNE Online for you. There are some great posters on this forum, sadly they are often drowned out by the knuckle draggers that think the behaviour you mentioned is just a few kids having "a bit of fun".

Absolutely spot-on......
 
Had a few light ales with some folk on 'ere a couple of weeks ago in Benny. No German bombers, but plenty of drinking to excess - and even laffin gas, plus other stuff too.


Who would have thought it... teachers, coppers and plenty of white collar workers, even a brain surgeon, all having a great time with an ex-hoolie like me.


Yes, these young lads are doing naughty things, some of it not right too. Following football will always have its warts.
 
Bit about PNE Police

Preston North End supporters are being urged to take to twitter as the Lancashire Constabulary look to improve supporters’ match day experience.

@PNEPolice

Football Intelligence Officers of Lancashire Constabulary will engage with fans on the account @PNEPolice.

By looking at the account, supporters can find out details about match day advice such as; parking, match day travel, issues with the rail network and places to eat and drink that accept away supporters.

The service has already proved successful after a major accident on the M6 south closed the road and supporters heading to Peterborough were alerted well in advance.
Paul Elliott, Football Intelligence Officer for Preston North End said: “Primarily the objective is to inform and interact with PNE supporters.

“As I attend most, if not all, of the games home and away the PNE supporters are used to seeing my face, particularly at away games as you tend to get a hard-core of supporters travelling.”
Mr Elliott is hoping to attract more Preston supporters as well as fans of other clubs in the league, who are travelling to all matches.

PNE’s official twitter recognises the importance of the account by retweeting a number of the tweets from the account, which already has 650 followers.

Apparently from a quick google search of Police Football Intelligence Officers - they work with a spotter who'd have his or her eye out for the real naughty boys , probably with form .

I suppose that friendly but firm approachable style , is better than being herded and frog marched about
everywhere as if you were some sort of a yob or a prisoner of war in some old film or WW2 documentary ?

He might get more of a idea if he went on the train , like that instance on the York train to Burnley Manchester Road ? last season . I always got the impression there was an unwritten rule - Do not bring shame onto the town .

Maybe there has been a reaction to this

Some football policing 'still heavy-handed'
