[Albion] Paul Barber

[Paulie Gualtieri]

This thread should already be gold, but is currently hitting the post. We need this brave lad to find the motivation to share their tale of woe and misery.

I think he’s had long enough to give us a story and the likelihood of the misery is confined to his CRO postcode.

I’ve not fully scrolled yet, so this is gamble, Tomo, prove me wrong

 

[Brian Munich]

No chance he’s coming back with the full story. This one isn’t happening guys.

 

[ROSM]

Perhaps, once we get the full story, we can put it to video like Fireman Dan's epic tale. That went flat quickly too

Nah, he's bottled it. He put out a crazed rant thinking he'd get support, got nothing and then disappeared back into the wilderness.

It might have helped if he’d actually said what he’d got banned for, even if it was just his side of the story.

Seen your edit, hook line and sinker

Sorry!

Some obvious trolls appear (you can smell ‘em a mile off), as the football gods deliver a very funny 10-2 over 5 days.

Just a shame he appears to hate football fans.

PS: At Saturdays game , he , with Bloom , hosted dozens of the Falmer for All campaigners in a lounge, spoke about their work, and - praised by those who were there - paid tribute in a speech to all the fans involved in that momentous part of our history.

I was thinking of the young lads who at times may go over the top and drink far to much just like we probably did back in the day. Eventually they will settle down and have a family of their own who will be the next generation of fans.
It’s been a working man’s game for years you simply can’t eradicate them and fill the stadium with football tourists who spend more money.
Whatever way you look at it football is getting sanitised.

I can’t make Brentford but I’d like to suggest that if we score all those there show solidarity with SteveThomas1901 and celebrate the goal. I know we’re forbidden from celebrating at away games these days but it’ll be our own “I am Spartacus” moment - they couldn’t possibly ban everyone.

The stadium is filled with season ticket holders not “tourists”. (Do you mean fans who buy matchday tickets ? ) anyway There will be more ST holders/1901 fans in the Amex in 25/26 than ever before so they're not doing a very good job. if we really did rely on "tourists" it would be a) a very empty Amex and b) commercial madness.

They are not trying to eradicate them from football, just trying to eradicate moronic behaviour. Most enjoy a few drinks at football but it's not automatic that then means you have to pick a fight with someone or display homophobic behaviour or chant about tragedies. It's akin to assuming pitch battles on a Friday night is ok because that's what you used to do when you were a youth.

Yes, some of us may well have all been like that in our youth. And if we got caught, we took our medicine, accepted any punishment, and learnt from it. I don't get this clutching of pearls about it.

There’s generally a reason some young men behave as dickheads when in a group situation. General feeling of inadequacy, peer group pressure, thick as mince.
Some grow out of it but Darwin’s law condemns the rest.
It’s not a rite of passage.
Most young and old can have a drink and laugh without being offensive and boorish.

You'll get nowhere with this kind of reasoning. I'm a STH and I've been called out as 'not a proper football fan' by Justice before.

So you are saying you are not a fan of justice? What next? Democracy?

My mate was called out on here the other day (lifelong football fan, coach, goldstone regular, Rome/Marseille veteran etc ) as someone who didn’t “get football” cos i shared that he liked the idea of going to the Terrace - to watch beam backs . Might even prefer it occasionally to going on a awayday. . Shocking stuff !

I actually didn’t call you out personally you just took it that way.

For a fact if our group from back in the day had all been banned their grown up kids wouldn’t be ST holders today and some now are taking their grand kids.

When the camera zooms in on the Albion away support at times it does look like a pensioner day out, one particular shot at the Emirates was particularly funny Maupay running towards a load of grannies in the front row
