saint boggy Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 http://www.thisishampshire.net/news/8835151.Saints_fan_barred_after_drinking_in_stand/ Just seen this on The Echo website, hope the beer was worth a 3 year ban...... silly boy
Jonnyboy Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 Think I saw him being escorted out. Didnt seem that drunk...
JustMike Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 i still dont understand the rule anyway, the signs in the concourse state a sporting events order from the 80's yet you see drinking in other sporting events, cricket for one!
Scudamore Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 i still dont understand the rule anyway, the signs in the concourse state a sporting events order from the 80's yet you see drinking in other sporting events, cricket for one! And rugby. Unfortunately a few of the gimps that attend football go and ruin it for everyone.
Hatch Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
harvey Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 Very silly indeed......I can't believe anyone would be that stupid
RedAndWhite91 Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 I'm just glad his passport is to be taken off him for England away games. Heaven forbid he goes abroad and repeats this heinous crime!
harvey Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 I'm just glad his passport is to be taken off him for England away games. Heaven forbid he goes abroad and repeats this heinous crime! Quite right too!!!! don't want that sort causing a nuisance to those nice Turkish, Polish, Russian happy clappy fans
Matthew Le God Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 It is sad that football fans aren't trusted to drink in the stands when they do in many other sports such as Rugby, Cricket etc. However despite this, the guy in the article fully deserves the ban as he has no excuses as he was aware of the rules.
saintoli Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 So he tried to punch 2 stewards and missed, then kicked a door and hurt his foot? Deserves a ban if you ask me!
Deppo Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 I thought they only banned drinking in the stands when Puncheon was playing. Too many people were getting their drinks knocked out of their hands!
Deppo Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 i still dont understand the rule anyway, the signs in the concourse state a sporting events order from the 80's yet you see drinking in other sporting events, cricket for one! Agreed. It's not as if that drink made him violent or anything.
Deppo Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 Though it looks like he gave the police a made-up name anyway, so he'll be back for Carlisle.
cellone Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 This jockey is the reason decent p!ss heads can't drink in the stands.
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 5 February, 2011 Posted 5 February, 2011 Haha thats me in the row in front of him with the baldy head!!
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 I went to lewis the other day to watch a game there and the fans were openly drinking pints on the terraces? Do the same rules not apply at non league grounds?
dubai_phil Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 Hard to tell what is the greater punishment. The banning order or having the video of him being a tw*t posted in the Press? - ouch
saint_bert Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 So that was what all that argy-bargy was that day.
simonsaints1 Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 very harsh punishment-yes, daft to have a pop at stewards but after going to places like Pbro yesterday, there would be a lot less tension and aggro if they were less in your face and kept quietly in the background.
Denzil Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 This jockey is the reason decent p!ss heads can't drink in the stands. ^^^^^ This ^^^^^
Golden Balls Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 It's his own fault. If he'd have just gone quietly, nothing more would have been said.
sfcuk fan Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 For his actions towards the stewards he deserves his ban for being a prat. But what I dont understand is the purpose of the ban on drinking alcohol in the stands rule ? I mean its not to stop fans getting drunk at matches because the club sell it in the concourses ? So its ok to drink in the concourse but not the stands ? If the beer was served in plastic cups, what difference does it make if you drink it in the concourse or in your seat ? I just dont get it.
st alex Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 Can you bring a hip-flask with some wiskey in for those cold matches in winter? or would that get you thrown out? Is that the same, or is that ok?
Barry the Badger Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 All he needed to do was hand it over and I'm guessing they might not have even chucked him out.
Jonnyboy Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 Can you bring a hip-flask with some wiskey in for those cold matches in winter? or would that get you thrown out? Is that the same, or is that ok? Ive done that!
Deppo Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 What a bunch of ****ing ****ers those ****ing ****ish stewards are! I'd kick their ****ing ******** right up their ****holes if they treated me like that! *****!
benjii Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 PMSL actually. Just watched the video. Looks like a set-up from Brass Eye or something, they way he hobbles off. Karl Kcok the Knut.
benjii Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 Oh, and for the record and for the benefit of some of our more aggressive posters, "no", I would not say that to his face. The reason I would not is because he would probably go berserk.
Chorlton Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 Don't know, but just a guess that the reason that you can drink on the concourse but not the stand is that it is more controlled if you just drink in the concourse. If you drink in the seats as well it could mean uniterrupted drinking from say 1PM-5PM, whereas at least the way it is you have to have an hour or so break. Obviously there are flwas in that you can be in the pun hours beforehand anyway (but could be refused entry), or could get in the ground early and get pished, but that is my theory. Went to a game in Germany the other week and people there were watching the match with one litre pitchers. But it is a different society there with alcohol available in places such as Ubahn stations and perhaps where it is so freely available, it is not such a problem. Even saw wine on sale in a pharmacy. Impressed by that Bet the guy in the footage feels a bit of a plum now though
The9 Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 i still dont understand the rule anyway, the signs in the concourse state a sporting events order from the 80's yet you see drinking in other sporting events, cricket for one! The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol) Act 1985 was entirely designed to prevent football fans from drinking at matches. For the first couple of years afterwards you couldn't have a drink in sight of the pitch - including numerous supporters' clubs with windows overlooking the pitch, which had to paint over / board up the windows or just close down. Funnily enough when corporate hospitality kicked off post-Hillsborough with the new stadia and middle-class interest in football from Italia '90, they tweaked the laws a little to allow the "compromise" you get in hospitality. The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc.) Act 1985 prevents:- drunken entry into a football ground (which, in practice, to be an arrestable offence includes disorderly behaviour); the consumption of alcohol within view of the playing area including, during the restricted period (15 minutes before the start of the event to 15 minutes after the end of the event), rooms within the ground from which the event may be directly viewed; the consumption of alcohol on certain coaches, trains and motor vehicles travelling to a designated football match; the possession of fireworks or flares. The Act applies to the following sporting events:- Association football matches in which one or both of the participating teams represents a club which is for the time being a member (whether a full or associate member) of the Football League, the Football Association Premier League, the Football Conference National Division, the Scottish Football League or Welsh Premier League, or represents a country or territory. Association football matches in competition the Football association Cup (other than in the preliminary or qualifying round). The Act only applies in England and Wales.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 Ive done that! Me too, Hartlepool away, nothing wrong with it IMO.
ericofarabia Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 Can you bring a hip-flask with some wiskey in for those cold matches in winter? or would that get you thrown out? Is that the same, or is that ok? Reminds me of being at Anfield many moons ago when some p!ssed up scousers were giving it large whilst supping from a hip flask in the stand adjacent ... the On The Dole song rapidly became "On The Dole , In the stands, Drinking Scotch.. " Ha ha improvisation or what. (Or maybe it was a you had to be there moment)
Johnny Bognor Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 I think a 3 year ban is the minimum he should get. He threw two punches and missed with them both. If we go up this season, we will have pompey, cardiff and millwall to contend with. There will be no room for people who can't fight at football.
brmbrm Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 What a ***. I have been to stadiums for varoius sports in many countries, enjoyed a beer while watching, even in UK in concerts etc et you canb drink a beer, but not watching footy. Just because of knobs like this @r$ole. Spoils it for everyone. Lol out loud: "...only stopping after appearing to hurt his foot..." Brain dead moron. Better out than in.
Sour Mash Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 Obviously the bloke was a bit of an idiot and should have thrown the punches at stewards, but an article in the Echo? Really? Is there nothing more important happening in Southampton?
Jones91 Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 It would be alot nicer to be allowed to buy alcohol during the game and end the half time rush...
ericofarabia Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 It would be alot nicer to be allowed to buy alcohol during the game and end the half time rush... They should provide the stewards with Cool Boxes so that they can double up on their walk up the aisles telling people to sit down, and serve punters beer and popcorn like usherettes did at the piccy houses with kia orange juice FFS.
St. Jason Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 It is sad that football fans aren't trusted to drink in the stands when they do in many other sports such as Rugby, Cricket etc. However despite this, the guy in the article fully deserves the ban as he has no excuses as he was aware of the rules. I agree he knew the rules and deserved to be thrown out for breaking said rules, even banned for the season but, does he really deserve a 3 year international banning order???
jam Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 I agree he knew the rules and deserved to be thrown out for breaking said rules, even banned for the season but, does he really deserve a 3 year international banning order??? If he was trying to smack stewards then yes.

The one and only time I've ever been in a football stadium that started to spin!
saint boggy Posted 7 February, 2011 Author Posted 7 February, 2011 I agree he knew the rules and deserved to be thrown out for breaking said rules, even banned for the season but, does he really deserve a 3 year international banning order??? it was probably the violent behaviour that got him the 3 year ban,not the alcohol in the stands tbf....
Thedelldays Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 when i first read the thread title...i thought it saints dogging in the stands.... odd
Matthew Le God Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 I agree he knew the rules and deserved to be thrown out for breaking said rules, even banned for the season but, does he really deserve a 3 year international banning order??? He didn't just break the drinking rules. Watch the video attached to the article.
St. Jason Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 He didn't just break the drinking rules. Watch the video attached to the article. I'll look at the video, no problem at all, sorry, just read it as he was banned for drinking, didn't realise there was a charge of violent conduct to!
