Funny you mention that. I noticed that on the news yesterday. I would hate that, I have to say. Then again, I would hate to gather with loads of drunk people to watch an England match.

After one of our goals at Wembley a lad a few to my left hurled part of a pint about 10 rows forward. Covered a load of people. Thoughtless

Agree idiotic.
Remember MKDons away this season dozens of bottles and drinks being thrown when we scored, why!?

Yep, that one was pretty bad. Drinks everywhere, glass bottles all been thrown.
I don't get where it's come from, now according to the press it is "great scenes of celebration".
On here you have
1. Twats with man bags over their shoulder.
2. People too busy filming it
3. People lobbing their pints in the air.
Same twats probably moan they have to drink out of plastic cups.
I can't remember it ever really being the "thing to do".

I can understand if they’re watching a match. If someone was holding a drink and suddenly there’s a goal it’s going to happen. What I don’t get is why large groups start doing it when there’s a chant. It’s pre planned or at least enough time to know it’s going to happen. What’s the point?!

Why's it going to happen if there's a goal?
It's another reason to prevent drinking in view of the pitch because people feel the need to lob pints into the air.

Can't think of much worse places to watch an England game than somewhere like that. Probably the the same kind of people who sing the awful 10 German bombers song.

I celebrated by carefully placing my dandelion and burdock back down on the table and gave a 10 second burst of 2 fingered royalty applause. It was an exciting day all round - before the game had started I updated my browser bookmark from BBC League 2 to League 1. What a Sunday!

I think the technical explanation is because they're cunts.

Does it come from the spraying of champagne after winning something?

It's been happening for years
A minority of nasty bastards who need a large right hander as a reminder of how to behave
A mate who was at the game last night told me the Russian authorities are allowing everyone to take beer into the stands to watch the game
Seen a few on TV from other nations holding pints

So many ex pros, Lineker and shearer etc saying they love it.
It's embarrassing.

I have to admit it does look good wouldn' be happy if I got wet though.
I was in Manchester on Sunday watched the match at my sons then went into the centre, lots of fans singing and drinking everyone was happy.
When I was leaving about 8.30 to come home the same people were fighting in the middle of the road.
Some things never change.

What looks good about it?
Obviously nothing wrong with having a beer and watching the game, I can understand beers getting knocked over by mistake but I mean more the going out of their way to throw them in the air.
It's very strange, probably the same people who leave their beer in the toilet "by mistake".

I got covered at Wembley by something (I hope it was beer!) that some tosser thought it was a laugh throwing the contents of his plastic cup after the second goal.
It was encouraged at Cubs
The return from Liverpool on the foggy night late seventies cup game looked like carnage at the services
WBA fans I think !

Pointless. A pub local to me got trashed after the Tunisia game with someone throwing a pint at the projector and breaking it. Smashed glass all over the floor as well.
I tend to avoid the horrendously overcrowded pubs like that now on matchdays, watched it at 2 other places with maybe 20 other people in there.

It's alcohol abuse and I for one cannot condone the throwing of perfectly good beer.
Down it in one and throw the empty plastic cup. Maybe.
