dylanisabaddog 4,921 Posted January 11, 2021 Absolutely beggars belief. But apparently Steven Gerrard walked 10 yards across a bar and punched someone in self defence so I suppose they see things differently up there.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 11, 2021 Even Dion Dublin mentioned in his commentary that some whose gardens backed onto the ground were partying. And he said Good on em. So don't just blame Scousers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 662 Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) You couldn't make this up really, we have been told to stay at home so the fact they were "adhering to social distancing measures" (they clearly weren't by the way) is pointless, but again they think they can do what they like up there and nothing will be said or done about it. The whole thing is a complete farce when compared to the lockdown last March. Edited January 11, 2021 by alex_ncfc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same as the commentator Sam Matterface, filming and uploading a video to Twitter of all the hundreds of fans in the street waiting to cheer on a sodding bus and gawping at it with their smartphones ready, and glorifying it instead of any suggestion that it is wrong. Pathetic. Edited January 11, 2021 by alex_ncfc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fairness those in back gardens could have been members of the same household and not in breach of the lockdown unlike the utter morons gathering in the street, 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted January 11, 2021 Well, the ones in their gardens overlooking the ground are probably legit - they're staying at home by definition. The ones who crowded up to see the Spurs coach though - that is a complete mess. Had to laugh that the coach couldn't get into the car park. That was funny.

Too many just don’t seem to ‘get’ it. Indeed and you couldn't argue against the reasoning for it. If the more moronic fans can't follow simple instructions and this kind of thing carries on, they will cause the authorities to act and do just that. Once again, an ignorant minority will have ruined it for the rest of us. Edited January 11, 2021 by lake district canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, the "partying" he mentioned was the family in the corner who's mum had a never ending supply of Prosecco, 2 kids watching quietly over the fence and Dad blaring out "It's Coming Home" towards the end, hardly a mass rave, and nothing like the mass of idiots in the streets.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 11, 2021 I see the errors of judgement that will be dealt with internally are mounting. Eze, pictured without a mask, attended a QPR match. He will be spoken to apparently. What happened to you must stay at home and only leave your abode for work or exercise. Oh, I forgot, its football. Like Celtic going to Dubai.
