Don't know the general feeling about this but I find this kicking of football's outside pubs at away games to be an embarrassment.It leads to windows being broken and disruption to the locals.
In Luxembourg,cars and public transport were being stopped to facilitate this and some cars were hit by footballs.
It gives us a bad name.

Where was this ? Most think it’s an embarrassment but some will defend it as only a bit of craic

Its absolutely head wrecking. I'm usually a shook hungover wreck at the early stages of match day and a loose football landing indiscriminately like a meteorite does nothing for my frayed nerves. 
Although I've come through the crowd to win a couple of headers when nicely oiled which was quite satisfying. But overall, its a No from me

Was it happening in Luxembourg? Only tends to happen on the busier trips. Stupid really as spend more time looking up in the air that it ruins any atmosphere around the pubs.

I was opening the thread expecting someone to be complaining about kids playing in the street

Yeah thought this was going to be about jumpers for goalposts, street football which we use to see a lot of. Didn't see any of that in Luxembourg and haven't done since the Euros maybe..

Outdide the pyg on matchday, must say while there was a good atmosphere there was also a few gobsh*tes. Seen a football land on a table of drinks and all the culprit did was apologize, there was no sign of him replacing the drinks. Also the owner of the PYG had to physically remove someone from preventing a bus from passing. Few strange irish heads in the pyg I thought.
Give me the trips like Baku and Antalya all day long over the convenient trips.

Don't agree with it myself haven't seen it since probably Denmark 2019 Copenhagen I've always said our fans get away with more than any other Nation ever would based on previous reputation.
I'm the gaffer whatever I say goes.

Which is why pubs like pyg are great - they attract the messier crowd thus  leaving the remaining pubs relatively free from dicks

I've always hated this. It's completely self absorbed behaviour that is seen as just a bit of craic by the perpetrators when in fact they are just being a pain in the hole to locals and other fans alike, but they're having their fun and that's all that matters.

It was a miracle that an elderly person or young child was not injured by those previously mentioned meteorites in Copenhagen.
And some of the listed buildings there barely escaped with their windows intact.

Whilst initially funny (to an extent) and quite popular in the likes of Stuttgart '06 and Prague '07, it's become very tedious. Spontaneity has long waned off, and it's become a very forced kind of matchday entertainment.
Glad I missed out on it in Luxembourg.

Remember in Lille in 2016 and Copenhagen 2019. Spent more time looking up in the air. Annoying.

A lot of the bigger 'event'away games following the same pattern - locate to a large city centre square/plaza close to a pub/offy, have a session and then gradually develops into lads acting the gobsh*te masquerading as banter while interfering with the locals going about their normal day, and being a nuisance to traffic.
