Because chucking beer is a ‘thing’ that, for reasons I cannot fathom, has become tolerated in various crowd-based environments. Therefore some number of people at football will believe that chucking beer, specifically, is ok.
Also, consumption of coffee/water/coke does not inherently make a person more likely to feel like chucking coffee/water/coke. Beer, on the other hand..
People who want to drink the filth peddled in plastic glasses and described as beer, while in a crowd watching a football match, need dragging round the back and being put out of the rest of our miseries. Not indulging.
The only place I have seen this behaviour exhibited in 40 years of going to all sort of events around the world is at large outdoor music events, usually when people have been drinking in the sun all day. And as often as not, what is being thrown is in beer glasses and was once beer, but has gone through an organic process of extracting the alcohol from it prior to the throwing.
I've never seen such a behaviour at any sporting event at which beer is being served. I really think people are imagining things here, like the typical grumpy middle aged men most of you have become.
I heard somewhere the other day that you shouldn't think of it as bad beer, but as good water.
I have had beer land on me at said outdoor music events, indoor music events, and football matches in both England and Australia.
At Graz you could drink beer whilst watching. It all kicked off when some folks threw beer over other people.
That's the only football match I've been to that had beer allowed in the stands so I'm 1 for 1 on people being twats with it.
Happened all the time at St Pauli in 2000-1. I imagine it still does.
It happens all the time when England are at the World Cup or Euros and the fan parks are open - not helped by the media obviously loving the money shot of fans 'going wild when Harry scored'.
There was an amusing sketch at one of the games last time where some young buck had his pint on a table and so was a few seconds late to join the fun twattery. His beer was launched into the air several seconds after everyone else as he had to go and fetch it first. That's not a spontaneous reaction - it's a 'Shit, I'm supposed to lob my beer in the air on a goal'.
Boxpark pre the playoff final and the semi v Man City was raining beer.
Well I hope it doesn’t catch on at County because the contents of those hot water bottles will sting
Some game Saturday.
It become a thing to throw beer around the concourse at half time at away games. All filmed for social media. Not been to a Forest away game for so long so not sure the current state but it happens all the time.
It was. Should’ve been about 6.
Was it Bromley again?
Crewe.
We had new seats following the NYD incident. We are the row behind a concourse so my lad can swing his legs until it wears him out. We also right next to the away fans so that should help his vocab when he's throwing one of his shit fits. "I've ate my dinner, now fuck off home."
Think the last time Cuiabano and Cunha played together, it was in the world club championship. Tonight they are playing for our under 21s against Reading in Loughborough. So dreams can come true.
(We are clearly trying to push them out, right?)
