Buckfast the choice of drink at Ibrox on Thursday

[onelegwonder]

It’s actually embarrassing and worrying that there are so many glass bottles.
Would be the press wet dream just now if one was thrown on the park

There has been glass bottles "sneaked" into the ground in the past 25 years (well my first time taking a bottle of 20/20) so probably longer. It is never going to change. In my time not once have i seen one bottle thrown onto the park against anyone.

 

[55 and counting]

Anyone surprised at this obviously don't go to Ibrox very often. Its hardly a new thing or uncommon.

Those bottles are obviously just from 1 section. That wont include the hundreds left in the concourses and toilets all around the ground.

As long as nobody throws them onto the park then I dont really care.

Politicians say football fans cant be trusted to drink alcohol in stadiums completely missing the fact that a massive portion of fans are already going to games pished and sneaking more drink in with them.

They also miss the fact that what they're sneaking in is far stronger alcohol than what would be sold in grounds. It would be beer no stronger than 4% if we were allowed.

 

[Scotia]

Sad to see as Buckfast is a Timothy drink.

It must have been them "brothers"? from Coatbridge...... The Buckfast capital of Scotland?

 

[Geerfc19]

Some folk on here need their hole man

 

[TwoBadMice]

No problem with it as long as they stay off the pitch

A bloke late 60’s gave me a swig of his maddog at the OF game took the taste off the jagermieisters miniatures i was supping… no harm done and no glass left in stadium

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Not a fan

was same the Alashkert game. 3 pissed up neds openly swigging Buckie all over the place with kids around them shouting abuse left right and centre to stewards etc

Going by our catering it will be warm flat Tennants served in plastic cups by spotty teenagers that cant work card machines or the tills.

 

[grahamdavid]

“What’s that you say?”

“Oh. There will be trouble if a drop of alcohol is sold in football grounds.”

“Well, in that case, keep it banned!”

“Forever!”

Exactly and they're that slow no one is going to get pished. It's ridiculous we can't get a beer like adults in grounds in Scotland. Can sort of understand for some certain high risk games but you should be able to get a drink outwith those games imo.

and yet none were, and very very rarely ever do get lobbed on. Relax mate.

 

[Son Of Laudrup]

I saw a 60 year old bloke drinking one on the street after the Celtic game - WTF

Exactly!! Could he not nip up a close!

 

[Rickymck]

Alcoholism is a disease. I would assume throughout our support there are a few who struggle without a constant drying in their hand so not surprising there is drink being taken in. These people should be supported in their struggle not ridiculed!

 

[55 and counting]

It was filmed by a journalist working for Canal + who are the French broadcaster.

The stewards usually line them up after every home game while doing their walk through checks. It literally happens every game. If someone had thrown a bottle I'd understand the want to hide it.

Football fans drinking alcohol isn't big media worthy news. No harm done.

I was in Lyon in 08. There was all sorts of bottles left in that end that night.

 

[GR6Ger]

Kill the thread, all it does is give tims looking in some ammunition to send emails to UEFA, next we’ll be getting a fine!!

These kind of posts are pointless. The pictures came from Twitter. It’s already out there. Doesn’t matter if it’s on FF or not.

 

[giogaddi]

There's a bottle of vodka and a couple of mad dogs how the fuk do you smuggle them in??

I've not been searched on the way in the ground for years. I just fire mine in a coke bottle. Wouldn't take a glass bottle in.

 

[GovanFront4]

LD is absolutely barking

Away ye go

 

[GovanFront4]

I do wonder how people on here manage to get through the day, with the amount of shame and embarrassment they feel over the slightest thing.

It shows how sedate football in this country is.

Don't think I've ever been searched going into Ibrox in 35 years.

The biggest surprise to me with this is that some posters ARE surprised at this. It's not a new thing FFS .

 

[RH_2020]

What’s the clear buckfast bottles all about? Don’t drink the stuff but only ever seen green bottles?

 

[20rangersultras07]

Do folk ever stop and think about the club?

It happens at every club in the world.

 

[20rangersultras07]

No green in Ibrox

 

[sapper]

Why our own staff lining those up and filming or allowing them to be filmed? They should have been put straight into black bags or bins. Do not give anyone any avoidable ammunition has to be the mantra.

Maybe to point out to the supporters in the hope they stop bringing them in.

 

[Loki]

So many blouses on here, for some the fitbaw isn’t complete without Dustin a bottle and a gram in the toilet, it’s no doing anyone any harm

 

[derek145]

More of a Magnum man myself.

Like a Cornetto myself

 

[Brian11Laudrup]

Good on the young team.

Good to see them enjoying themselves.

It isn’t only in the UB section this happens. Often see bears in the Copland Rear with half bottles in for games against that lot

Happens in every section of the ground except probably the club deck, the govan front toilets are bouncing every game at half time

 

[Commander Bjorklund]

And some more replies. Looks like most of the replies are either having a laugh about it or praising us for the fact they weren't chucked at players

Either discussing the teams performance or the behaviour of our fans I’ve seen nothing but compliments from Lyon, meanwhile the past few days on here a number of our fans have taken every opportunity to trash Rangers.

The club deck is one of the worst for it in my experience. Thats where most the day trippers end up as when general sale opens for any big game the CD is normally where most the availability is.

 

[scottie626]

sunday liams front page tomorrow ops no there is an Orange Parade today?

 

[mark hateley]

I actually struggle to follow the game if I have had a few. Fair play.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Like a Cornetto myself

Just one?

 

[stewie_griffin]

Non story, doubt there is an event in Scotland that alcohol isn’t smuggled in.

 

[wsb&warmy]

I'd imagine the folk on here who think Andy Halliday 'talks like a ned' will be outraged at this.

 

[EH47]

This literally happens at every single ground up and down the country. Football fan enjoys alcohol is hardly a newsworthy story.

Every other ground in Scotland is not a magnet for mhedia looking to point score.

 

[EH47]

Some folk on here need their hole man

Some folk on here need the holes in their heads looked at.

 

[Murray the Bear]

Love when the old timers who love to regale us of tales from the crazy terraces in the past come on clutching their pearls at the fact people sneak a cargo into the game.

Nostalgia tends to miss out the terracings running with piss, the drunk behind you pissing down your leg and the slim but never to be ruled out chance of a bottle hitting you on the back of the head. You dont see many kids down the front wearing hardhats nowadays.

 

[Calderwoodloyal]

Half bottles confirm my fears …. UB need a lesson in consumption

 

[cblack72]

It’s well known a half bottle tastes better than a full. If maximum consumption is your aim, have 3 half bottles.

 

[strathavenbear]

Saw a few empty half bottles in the main stand rear bogs on Thursday. The smell in the place gives me the boak, let alone trying to drink a bottle.

 

[Blueknows]

You dont see many kids down the front wearing hardhats nowadays.

Safety helmets were a terrific fashion statement gaudily decorated with paint of various colour, mainly red white and blue obviously but also gold and silver, transfers, RSC the wearer belonged to.

Ah, a nostalgic reprise of the seventies when it was often said that the only thing allowed to fly at Ibrox that was green, white and gold was a Kestrel can.

How do you know he was 60

 

[Resident_hammy_bear]

Pathetic.... if you're going to sneak a bottle in at least make it something a bit stronger than a bud

 

[Resident_hammy_bear]

I actually struggle to follow the game if I have had a few. Fair play.

TBF this season thats not exactly a bad thing

 

[Mossblown_Loyal]

Disgusting stuff, up there with sherry, Blue nun, liebfraumilch and Port.

 

[Taylor armagh]

Football fans drinking,wow.

 

[LetsGo]

@HumpZ what happens if the buckie gets into the rootzone of the pitch?

 

[Taylor armagh]

Any complaining bout this is worth the watching.sometimes wonder if half the people on FF go to Ibrox

 

[Necorneragain]

I've not been searched on the way in the ground for years. I just fire mine in a coke bottle. Wouldn't take a glass bottle in.

I’ve never been searched going into a game in 40 odd years.

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

Sad to see so many people disrespecting themselves with this junk.
