Drinking on the terraces

[gilberto_eire]

Really, how hard up for alcohol are we that we need to drink at games? I mean if you wanna drink, stay in the pub until as close to kick off as possible. Go for a pint at half time(if pub nearby, generally there is). Then head to pub after the game.

All you have to do is go without drink for 2 hours at most like! It can't be that hard...and if it is then you should join an alcohol support group.

well if you've went drinking before a match you'd know that going 2 hrs without drink basically sobers ya up, leaving ya with the only option post-match to go home as theres no point starting again when that happens!.

look lads lets get real here its FRIDAY NIGHT football, i like to go drinking at the weekends after a long week and since the LOI games are on at this ridicioules time/day, well then im gonna want to go drinking before, during and after the match!!

if the games were on saturday/sunday, morning/evening then i wouldnt care, but there not doh!

Do you speak the English?

Do not agree with nanny state and there is a danger of it happening.
Do not agree with restricting mature adults' rights.
But we have a MAJOR problem with abuse of alcohol especially by young people. This has gone beyond rationalisation and excuses. We need to rethink our excessive drink culture and someone needs to say STOP.

Yes, someone does need to say stop, but for me it's the people who can't drink properly! Mostly kids, as you say, so also their parents. Anyway...

Dodge, drink is available at a lot of grounds though (if not actually pitch-side), and obviously smuggled in to at least one more.
(That is quite poor by the way. Not the act so much as the justification. Self-control man! )

Sorry I think 'twas I dragged it into the general arena, but as most of the opposition to drink at grounds here seems to be in a general 'when will we ever grow out of our shameful, embarrassing past, ochón, ochón, what MUST the Europeans think of us?' kind of way, it was just a follow-on.
Out of the system now.

If you'd prefer to get drunk than go to the matches then don't go to the matches.

I want to get drunk and go to a match.

Aye but that's not really possible. There's too many idiots around that will cause trouble when they're hammered.

Nothing to do with stewarding. All the people that have access to the bar will have got their tickets through business so aren't people that would cause trouble.

You won't be able to go to the game and drink because there's too many idiots. Just look at some of your fans against Sligo. It's a sacrafice (in your eyes anyway) that you'll have to make. It's not that hard to sneak drink in anyway.

I'll have to wait for the rugby season to start back so.
