Re: Blackpool Fans
We were heavily criticised for one fan throwing stuff when spurs have several fans throwing stuff. Hope they get the same grief.

Although probably important to distinguish between a lighter being thrown at a players head and a paper aeroplane being thrown onto the pitch.Lowbankclaret wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 6:25 pmWe were heavily criticised for one fan throwing stuff when spurs have several fans throwing stuff.

Re: Blackpool Fans
Lots being thrown on whenever Utd players get near the corner flags. Or the goal line. Check out the detritus building up in and behind the goal line where the stewards can't quickly get it cleaned up. Not a peep out of the commentators. It all appears to be scrunched up paper but I guess we won't know until one hits the mark.
Are we saying it's ok to throw stuff at players as long as it won't hurt them if it hits?

No, just that there’s a difference between throwing lighters at players heads and throwing paper onto the pitch.Sproggy wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 6:55 pmLots being thrown on whenever Utd players get near the corner flags.

Re: Blackpool Fans
Everything being thrown at Spurs is aimed at a player, not the pitch. I wonder if anything slightly heavier than you'd expect is wrapped up in any of the 100 or so paper balls that have been thrown on so far?
When does it go from being OK to not OK?
Are plastic glasses OK to throw at players?

Re: Blackpool Fans
Scrunched paper can conceal lots of hard items it would be very easy to wrap a stone in the paper & launch that.Sproggy wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 6:55 pmLots being thrown on whenever Utd players get near the corner flags.

Re: Blackpool Fans
It wouldn’t surprise me if there were hand grenades concealed in some of that scrunched up paper.
Re: Blackpool Fans
What's in the blue thing that just got lobbed at the keeper?
Re: Blackpool Fans
Not a word about any of that during the commentary (this is just the bit the stewards aren't able to quickly clean up - it was happening all the way across the stand). Imagine what would happen if the bottom 5 rows of the CFS lobbed detritus as Spurs players all game when we play them...

Clearly, further evidence of the deep- rooted and pernicious vendetta being pursued by the EPL, PGMOL, Sky and MOTD against Burnley.

Littering is a criminal offence.
Just saying.

Re: Blackpool Fans
50% of Burnley songs or even football songs are offensive and meant to shock.Claretforever wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 3:14 pmWe sang YNWA at Wembley in 88 too, and also way back in the early 1970’s as well, the same as about two dozen other clubs who had it as part of their repertoire. It wasn’t offensive to anybody though, or distasteful when younger fans are in earshot.
Seems like YNWA was quite unlucky for Burnley. All the relegations since you sung it and the only Wembley loss of my lifetime.
Glad someone seen sense and dumped it.

Re: Blackpool Fans
I know a bloke who has a box at Bloomfield road and he got caught singing it last Saturday against Orient. He found out yesterday that Coutts bank was closing down his bank account with them and he's been warned that he's unlikely to be accepted at most other high street banks.
