Absolutely this.

Sad cunts.


Not sad cunts, mate. You can understand that it is unpleasant for people on a train who may feel intimidated. However, the lad has hoyed his hands up and said fair play and he will move on.

I personally wouldn't have a sing-song on the way home but to call the lad worse than shite for daring to have a drink (as if the SMB's moral guardians have never been drunk before) and have a sing-song (as if the SMB's moral guardians have never done this before) is ridiculous. The reason the Police get away with so much shite is because too many football fans would rather defend them than their fellow fan. Football fans in general are too quick to throw their hands up and allow the Plod to kick them in the bollocks.

Having a drink and singing a song doesn't make you scum contrary to popular belief.

Dober, I aint going to argue with you there, mate as there is a lot of sense. However, if your mrs and kids are next to them then it aint nice. Needs to be a bit respect for other travellers. Think about their needs and journey. Bit of 50/50 and that. To be fair, the lad has said that he has no complaint. To me he should be getting no grief after that. Hold your hands up and say that you were wrong then fair enough. Credit to him for doing so.

Doesn't make you scum but it would appear that drinking alcohol on these trains is unlawful and singing/chanting (and we don't know in what manner or context) is unwelcome. People have a choice - if they don't like the rules don't get on the train. There are other choices..................

I think the issue lies in the fact the Plod would have (rightly) assumed the lad had been drinking on a dry train breaking whatever regulation they'd dreamt up that day. The whole dry train issue is brought on and magnified somewhat by their incompetence though.

I've been on the last train from Edinburgh to Newcastle on a Saturday night before. My carriage had two separate groups of mortal 'revellers' (that clearly weren't football fans) that were playing all sorts of games up and down the carriage as they headed to Newcastle for a night out. Bottles of wine and cans of lager on the table as they danced upon and down the train. One of the groups had a set of speakers playing all sorts of tunes.

Should I have ran kicking and screaming to the conductor to complain that drunk people were enjoying themselves?

They weren't singing about Shearer though so who cares?

I'm a little concerned we've got a lot of young'uns following us who seem to be pissed out of their brains quite easily - quite often long before the game. Will have to learn to pace themselves better I reckon. Learn from the older lads and everyone's happy.

Presumably your train wasn't deemed 'dry', no-one felt intimidated, no-one complained and it wasn't manned by BTP. I have no truck with people being drunk and enjoying themselves - done it regularly during my lifetime but hopefully not at the expense of others. I just don't sympathise with those who break the rules then whinge about it afterwards. Virtually every institution has rules whether that be in your home or your local club. If you don't like those rules why stay/join?

from memory, I was the only person on the carriage with them. I ended up joining in with them after a while because they were clearly having a good time and I'm not a boring, miserable "but you're breaking the rules!" type person.

If you're going to get mortal in Newcastle, it's perfectly acceptable to throw as much alcohol as you can down your neck on a train, play music if/when you like and turn the carriage into one big drinking game. The conductor actually came checking tickets whilst they were in the process of blasting their tunes. He found it funny. If you're returning from the football however, you'll be thrown off and I guarantee the conductor would be 'intimidated'.

Acceptable? I don't think so. Perhaps that's just me though.

There seems to be an assembly of youthful looking lads who, at every away ground that we play, huddle together in the concourse before kick off, sing songs whilst jumping up and down with pints of beer in their hands. Harmless I guess and not bothering anyone (unless they spill beer on innocent third parties) but I just don't get it.
 
So apparently it is not socially acceptable to chant after a match now?

Boo hoo. I hope the lad doesn't have any follow up, for me it's one of those things and if people with children don't like it they should avoid traveling when they think there will be match people around or indeed change carriages.
Utter shite. Why should people change their travel just to suit drunks?

No, you do have a point. Yes, we are branded by the Police but unfortunately that reputation has been 'earned' by a minority who have caused mayhem in the past and we suffer from it. It will only change when that minority have been eliminated unfortunately.
 
That might be the case , but the loud mouth drunken yob in carriage F was bang out of order , and after being warned quite firmly by the police ended up getting hoyed off , no one to blame but him , my sympathy is with the folk that were in ear shot , and in particular the girl he ended up sitting beside , God knows what her opinion os SAFC fans must be.

Remember this is a drunk who was on the wrong train after drinking 5 cans of Stella before getting on without a ticket.

But some of us are boring , aye right oh.
Some people think you can do anything as long as you've been to the match first.

it's the weekend though. My point is trains up and down the country are obviously carrying drunk people (nothing whatsoever to do with football). If football was played at 7pm on a Thursday, trains wouldn't have drunk football fans on them. As it is, football is played on weekends and it just so happens this increases the amount of drunk passengers (football and non football).
 
In my opinion a club our size should be putting on football special trains for supporters anyway for games down to London.

It would just make it easier for supporters and also stop us getting ripped off by train company's... I'm guessing they could break even or even make a profit too.

I have to say in my experience Sunderland fans have always been first class with the public on journey though, drunken chats or offers for a game of cards is the worst I have ever experienced...with the exception of the drunken lads chatting about Hillsborough and how it was Liverpool fans fault in a carriage of Liverpool fans/tourists :lol:
 

These West Ham fans are people I would class as wankers. The OP was just having a laugh pissed up. We've all done it.

It's not just people with children who find it irritating, everyone but the morons doing it want you to shut the fuck up and sit down.

Why should everyone have to move carriages to accommodate juvenile m0ngs like yourself?

The definition of a cretin, they really are f***ing morons of the highest caliber.
