So that makes it okay then ?They weren't flares either.
I left the Northampton match early last season and spent the last few minutes of the game on the hill talking to some of the guys from the Trust. The word one of them used to describe what he had seen(from the Hill) and heard from people like myself, leaving early was that it was “toxic” inside Sixfields. He certainly wasn’t in agreement with what went on.
Where do you draw your opinion from that they were fanning the flames for what went on? Anything that came from the Trust or the Jimmy Hill Way group last season insisted that any protests should be peaceful and legal. That said, I don’t think they would condemn those who did protest at Northampton as they realise we all have had enough of Sisu, they just wouldn’t condone their methods.
Those who threw things or who ran onto the pitch on Saturday, in my opinion, weren’t protesting or even thinking about Sisu. To bracket the two together I think does a disservice to those who have tried to take a stand against Sisu.
Where have I said that?So that makes it okay then ?
I’m not solely blaming the trust for Northampton Away but I feel they were one of the reasons that day went the way it happened. It was our first return to Sixfields, SBT encouraged protests, everyone was on the beer all day, we had Slade in charge, Fisher was sat with their directors laughing and they were endlessly singing ‘stand up if you’ve got a ground.’ It was a combination of factors that led to what went on.
I’m not saying people run on the pitch and throw missiles because they’ve got SISU at the forefront of their mind, I’m saying there’s a toxic atmosphere amongst our fans in general at the moment and has been since last season – and SISU have caused that. On the upside, the atmosphere of our away followings has gone through the roof– at points on Saturday the PUSBs were deafening.
Stone Island is just a clothing brand, there’s no guarantee that anyone wearing it is going to be causing trouble. I prefer CP Company myself but find the tarring of stone island a bit unfair. It’s better than wearing superdry or jogger jeans like the melt in front of me yesterday.
Have a day off. A few fans on the pitch celebrating a goal is good to see. Better than the dreadful sanitised day out that Milton Keynes otherwise representsIm heartily sick of the apologists on here saying 'it was a bit of a larf'.... 'it was only lads having a good day out' etc etc
Bottom line is that it was utterly crap behaviour from a small percentage of our supporters. I sincerely hope action is brought against those coming on the pitch after we scored. Life time ban ?? Nahhhh.....a couple of years will be more than enough to make the rest sit up & take notice.
By wearing Stone Island, CP company clobber etc. you basically brand yourself as a c*nt........no 2 ways about it.....
Its like driving a Audi Q7 or wearing a Burberry check scarf between 1997-2004........it just screams "C*NT".
You wouldn't catch me in my Lonsdale / Spliffy Jean combination getting into trouble. Might rip my fake Naff Naff jacket.
Stone Island at football is a uniform for half wit wannabe hooligans.
You know it, i know it.
I'm just amazed how easily 'outraged' some people seem to get. Take a break.
I’d disagree, it’s entered the mainstream now. Drake wears it, doesn’t mean he’s going to be chucking flares at Milton Keynes away.

I've seen Guardiola interviews where he's stoney'd up. But it is the clothes of choice for any aspiring 17 year old hooligan wannabe.I’d disagree, it’s entered the mainstream now. Drake wears it, doesn’t mean he’s going to be chucking flares at Milton Keynes away.
You're wasting your breath. Not a fan of SI clobber myself, not my thing, but if it was I probably wouldn't wear it for fear of being incorrectly labelled by half-wits who think its possible to make an instant judgement of somebody based on what sweater they choose to wear.

As I said earlier in the thread, let's see how understanding you are when a bottle smacks you on the head. I bet you wouldn't be full of the "yeah but's..." then.
I didn't excuse the bottle throwing, did you actually read my post?
I don't need to.

I agree that Its a stereotype.....but thats where stereotypes come from........just like my comparison with the Audi Q7......I'm sure there are 1 or 2 people in the country who drive them that are NOT grade A cunts.......but you'd never catch me driving one because I don't want everyone to think I'm a c**t....
I did once own a lovely pair of SI black jeans back in the 1990s......but after an away day to Old Trafford where I noticed it was the label of choice for their hoolies.....I gave them to the charity shop.
Besides.....if you want a really nice jumper, you've gotta go for a John Smedley.......fine quality knitwear.
Smoke Bombs, not flares
Personally, have no issue with Smoke Bombs if just let off. If they are thrown at people that's a bit different.
