tbh i wouldnt say 1 bad result is slipping up, sure its a bad result, as middlesbrough are a terrible team, but the draw at newcastle can hardly be called a bad result, to come away from a ground like that, against a team that were really up for it and playing well is hardly a disaster.
I don't necessarily agree with that, Newcastle were on a terrible run prior to that game.
Yeah and Bolton are ****house. So it evens out.
Two things here - firstly, I didn't say that Bolton wasn't a poor result; it undoubtedly was. Secondly, Bolton have been on somewhat of a revival since Megson took over, and had gone to Munich and got a draw only a few days earlier.
Yeah, it isn't hard to bring such items in. I've been to one game and I went with somebody and they had a backpack and the guy only checked like half of his pockets, who knows what could of been there. That said Camp Nou was like that and I've been to EPL games myself and they will check backpacks and the like, and walking in and out I didn't think there was anything stopping me carrying something dangerous in.
Think security is pretty impossible at such large sized grounds (never had so much as a second look from a steward going into Old Trafford), due to the sheer numbers. OK not checking backpacks is lax, but from a stewards point of view, if he starts checking things, those queueing behind start abusing him for the delay, and for the bog all an hour they get paid, they cant be bothered.
All but, from what I hear.
From the lack of media interest in the story (and the fact that British nationals were arrested) it’s fairly obvious that the ‘fans’ stabbed were hooligans and thus who gives a ****? You don't go to bridges which are notoriously used to settle disputes and expect a kiss and cuddle.
