No, if you're going to drop the nut at least hit his nose and spill some bloody claret.
A Tesco-bag supporter mate of mine from the Wood was born on the 3rd March. I was tempted to send him a Happy ****** Night! on FB but 1) He would be nonplussed and 2) He's a great lad.

I've never seen so many police dogs before or since. Three crap years against them, with no wins, two draws and four defeats. Thankfully the universe has righted those wrongs in no small measure since.That Stern John game was awful. Was living on Kos at the time and couldn't bear to watch the last couple of minutes so went to the toilet, leaving my girlfriend at the bar to carry on watching. I came out of the toilet when I thought it was safe, and her face told me everything I didn't want to know. I was sat next to somebody who turned out to be a Nose in the Holte End. We'd exchanged a couple of words during the game, nothing much, then when Stern John equalised he wasn't bright enough to contain his excitement. He tried to give an old chap a slap, then got a proper good shoeing himself on his way out.

Was the violence random/spontaneous, or was it more of the Danny Dyer 'pwopah nawty' variety?It was arranged, spontaneous, targeted, random, intense and brutal. I wasn't at the Rangers game but it was by far the worst I've ever known.And it was mostly perpetrated by 'us'?

I was in the Lower Holte for that, depressed, watching Heskey, David Dunn and Damien fucking Johnson run us ragged.

I mean, you could've stayed with her and backed her up, but if you felt you had to get away, you had to get away. And I'm sure she was fine in the end anyway. Did you wait outside for her? Wink.
