That George Best lookalike wasn't one of them, was he, by any chance (remember hearing about his antics in Bordeaux at the Euros)? I've only been going on away trips since the Euro 2016 qualifiers and even in that short time I've started avoiding these 'official' ybig meetup bars and instead meeting up with the likes of the Quinn Towers, D69er and co in other bars which have a better balance between being busy and having a good atmosphere but where you can also move around the place, get served and hold a conversation without wrecking your throat due to having to shout to make yourself heard. But in that relatively short time that I've been going to away games, I've definitely noticed more idiots on away trips and they've been in cities that are handy to get to and at weekends - there was a fight in Charlie P's in Vienna the night before the game there last year which was swiftly sorted out, one fella was kicking a door in the old town in Lyon (a number of other lads reacted by chanting 'Are you English in Disguise' at him, and when I saw lads kicking footballs at upstairs windows in Copenhagen last month, I swiftly moved on.  Thankfully, nowhere near the levels of hooliganism that English, Russian fans etc are infamous for, and I hope to God it never will be but this definitely needs nipped in the bud but that's easier said than done for many people (myself included, I admit) in case they get turned on if they do try to pull anyone up for acting the maggot, especially if the culprit is off their head on drugs. So unless, someone has a better idea of dealing with it, we could be stuck with these idiots tagging along with us, especially if it's a handy-to-get-to venue at a weekend (as Copenhagen and Vienna were). As has been mentioned above though, I think airline and railway staff need to grow a pair (unlike the fans, they are getting paid to ensure everyone's comfort and safety after all) and either refuse boarding to people behaving badly under the influence of whatever they've been taking (or arrange for the police to meet and arrest them on arrival) would definitely help curb bad behaviour.  |
We walked a few hundred yards up the road from the Dubliner and found a cracking little pub full of lunatics and geriatric hookers, far more entertaining than watching a bunch of ****s trying to be McGregor.

The formation of a YBIG vigilante group is the obvious answer to this
Kent Brockman: Mr. Simpson, how do you respond to the charges that petty vandalism such as graffiti is down eighty percent, while heavy sack beatings are up a shocking nine hundred percent? Homer Simpson: Aw, you can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. Forfty percent of all people know that. Kent Brockman: I see. Well, what do you say to the accusation that your group has been causing more crimes than it's been preventing? Homer Simpson: Oh, Kent, I'd be lying if I said my men weren't committing crimes. Kent Brockman: [pause] Well, touché.

As an aside, what difference does it make if the culprit 'acting the maggot' is off their head on drugs? What about drink, is that not a drug? Or do we have a different moral code for alcohol?

It is but as mentioned on this thread and on some of the other away-day travel and general threads the problem is that it seems like these idiots are taking both.

Doesn't make any odds if people can handle their sh1t. Issue with coke in particular is the increased capacity for drink it brings. Once it wears off or they run out the drink really kicks in and it can get very messy.

Been going since the 90s and have not really seen any dramatic change in behaviour boys will always be boys if anything the shift to a more middle class level of support from a distict working class following we used to have more women invloved which is welcome , increased levels of paddy whacery and embarrasing flags but nothing to be alarmed about as far as I am concerned .

Booting footballs randomly has to be one of the most stupid things any group of fans can get up to. Unless you're on the fans team.

And what is wrong with taking both? All any drug will do is lower inhibitions, which means the **** is there before drink or drugs are applied, it just becomes more prevalent after. The problem here is as much your own hang-ups as it is the people in question. There are plenty of people that go to Ireland games and take both and you probably never even notice them. Most of the people that act in a ****ish matter after drink and drugs take them to act in a ****ish manner.

I don't think it is about handling it or not, I think people are taking it to make their behaviour more acceptable to themselves. They want to act like that so they take things that lower their inhibitions.

Would it help if we got more people on yokes at away trips? Everyone pulling weird faces, rubbing each others backs and talking about how sound the locals are.

I suppose it wouldn't be any harm to test. I'm sure candidates for the experiment wouldn't be hard to find

That was a grand day out - we were drinking with some mad Russian farm labourers in a pub before the match. They were bouncing pool balls off their heads.
