Throwing pints when England score.

gandhisflipflop · Post by **gandhisflipflop** » Fri Jul 06, 2018 9:06 pm

There seems to be a trend at the moment where beer is being thrown when England score. Now i can understand beer being spilt but some are physically throwing pints. I was hit on the head with a glass pint in the euros 2 years ago in a bar in burnley and i cant for the life of me think why this hasn't been raised because of how dangerous it is. Why arn't plastic glasses being used in the same way they are used on the turf? Its dangerous and not to mention bellendary.

I've never understood the need to throw good beer away.

You should have raised it at the time perhaps?

Throwing beer away should be a crime.

That's nothing. In Mansfield they've been chucking small trees.

At the time i thought it might just have been a bad experience in a bar with inexperienced management (it was pretty new at the time).

This was going on in our fanzone as long ago as when Derby got a point at BHA to allow us to go up with a win.

Also to clarify, i meant the issue of glass throwing in general being raised not my personal experience.

It happens on away concourses every week during the season. I got one of those clear plastic rain hoods off my old mum. Brilliant!

One of the reasons I don't watch football matches in pubs is because of chavvy cretins who do this.

Ah, the old "throwing away my beer in ecstasy" trick.

As witnessed in the concourse at Ewood, when England win at penalties etc etc...

Allow me to explain:

Several men start drinking pints. They are all men. Men's men. y'know. The kind of men who stare danger in the face and fight and make constant reference to their numerous sexual conquests and fighting.

They drink in rounds.

Only pints are acceptable. Halves are for gays. Whether they're "enlightened" enough to say this ironically or not doesn't matter; halves are for gays.

And these men are not gay. Oh no. Grrrrrrrr.

- Did I tell you I shagged Shazza last night? Yeahhhhh...
- Yeah? Well I had a fight with 15 lads last night and THEN shagged this bird. Didn't even know her name. Fit as %*&£ but I ain't calling her

And because they buy their drinks in rounds they all drink at the pace of the fastest drinker. And they all have to get a round in (because real men never shirk or even ask to carry a round over till another night) so they also drink in multiples of whichever arbitrary number their group of men is.

Which means that 9 out of 10 of them are drinking more than they can handle and more than they'd like to.

But they can't admit this - because they're men.

- 'Ere did you see Gay Pete the other night? He drinks halves, the poof. I'm not homophobic but it's funny tho coz he's meant to be a man but he drinks halves.

So how do you somehow dispose of the beer that you physically can't drink and don't want to drink whilst maintaining your manly manliness?

Throw it in the air!!!!

- Phwoarrrrr I got so excited at the footy, like a real man, that I just threw my beer into the air! Grrrrrrrr. Ain't shagging great?
- Yeah, nearly as good as fighting innit?
- Yeah me too. I love footy and drinking so much that I threw two untouched pints of lager straight into the air. It was like an instinctive reaction from all the fighting and shagging that I do. Or sommet

Stupid but true.

I went to a corporate event where I watch England beat Tunisia. When England scored everybody were jumping over eachother, beer flying everywhere etc... and I thought. This is fake. People are reacting how they think they should react.

The closest I’ve come to celebrating like those people watching England on a projector screen recently were Ade v Chelsea, Hyde v Blackburn, Jay v Spurs and Keane v Middlesbrough. They were BIG goals.

The general public don’t really care, it’s all show and pretend. I just think it’s fake. People don’t really care that much to jump around like a madhead spilling beer everywhere. They’re just doing it to fit in.

I watched the Belgium match last night along with some Belgians in a bar. They were very civilised and restrained, not a drop of beer was spilt.

I remember going mental in Central Park (next to the Ritzy) when David Platt Scored against Belgium in 1990(?). I think there were numerous beers thrown as well as fists through the artificial ceiling tiles

Claretmatt4 · Post by **Claretmatt4** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 6:05 pm

Depends on the situation. A last minute winner v Tunisia, a pint is in your hand, your hardly going to set it down on a bar met then go mental....

But when people do it after penalties... That's just moronic, and 'fitting in' as one poster put it.

Happens in Perth when the Glory score - mind you when the beer in plastic glasses is crap and its 30C+, its easy to understand why.

The whole beer throwing “ drinks in the air” celebration has gone on ( outside ) for time immorial .

The mere whiff of spilt beer will have the grumpy old curmudgeons on here grumbling into their pints of “rotted knob” you do wonder if some people were actually born 56 yrs old

That is exactly what shocks me. The fact that crowded bars and pubs are still using glass pints when the football is on.

The pub in Chesterfield (Big Balls Sports Bar - yes really) I have been watching all the matches at is a great atmosphere, and is full of the pint throwing. It’s under new ownership and they were clearly unprepared for this happening - in the Tunisia game it was glasses, not plastics being chucked. My mate got one right on the bonce and was out of it for almost 10 seconds, stumbling into a fruity.

Next game and onwards they had plastics. It’s hard to believe the stupidity of bars serving glasses for the World Cup - but if they did serve them in glass, it’s even harder to believe some absolute donors think it’s fine to THROW them.

Spot on there. Was in a pub in Liverpool watching the Sweden game, not a drop spilled. Put a camera in a venue and watch them lash the pints about. Completely pointless.
