Is Cocaine use really so common in London? I saw a bit when I lived there (early 2000s), but never where it's most people in any setting.
Don't most of these guys get in by bribing the stewards? They're being paid maybe £100 for the shift? How much is a match ticket on the market? £500? If you slip two guys in for £300, 'everyone' wins.

It's exceptionally common. The idea of it as an upper middle class drug is a stereotype 15/20 years out of date. In reality it's been effectively decriminalised.Lemoentjie wrote: ↑Thu Jul 15, 2021 8:41 am Is Cocaine use really so common in London?

There were three lots of breakers in, those who bribed their way in, those who tailgated through the automatic turnstiles, and the group who broke through the disabled entrance.

No, It's the reverse. Allowing football to duck any responsibility by blaming society is blinding oneself to a key issue i.e. there are conditions at football that encourage a higher concentration of these types of people. Your argument is a bit like saying nothing needs be done about the November 9th Society because society created the racists and the fact that N9C has 100% racist membership and encourages their behaviours is incidental.Biffer wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 8:35 amIt’s society, not football. Football is just a focus point. Portraying it as just a football problem is an easy way to pretend that it’s not a problem that all of us have to act on.Torquemada 1420 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 6:29 am 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱
A far better run than the doomsayers at outset and something to build upon. The majority enjoying something positive.

Despite all the practising, England still poor at penalties.

Racist abuse towards players who missed pens.
9 police officers injured.
Break in to Wembley.
Lunatic on the pitch during the game.
Laser into the Danish keeper's eyes/face.
The mass booing/whistling drowning the German anthem.
Football needs to get its house in order.
