Very fond memories of the Corrib, disgusting how it ended for the old place. If I recall correctly, wasn’t there a thread on here about the Same the Corrib Rest campaign? |

Current local is Pub de la Gare in Nyon, Switzerland.
Previous local in London was Angie's II in Westbourne Park. Popped in for a couple after the Champions League final last weekend, gawd I miss the old boozer! |

Was there again on Sat and what Wembley and the FA did was obviously hire many times more small minimum wage stewards - but no bloody professionals among them. Honestly I walked through hundreds of the yellow-jacketed little people without even a pat-down at any point, as did everyone else I knew there.
I was therefore not surprised at all to see BVB's post halftime pyro extravaganza - but how easy would it have been for someone to smuggle in a knife or a gun, especially in view of the four eejits that made it onto the pitch and the other that was stopped by fellow fans and some stewards. Really beggars belief.
Similar to Paris last time out, local hoodrats were out in force all around the outside perimeter of the stadium trying to find a chink through which to get into the stadium surrounds, but fair play to Old Bill, they were also out in force in the outer cordon and were able to rebuff all such attempts |

I'll be there.
For anyone not going, there's a Champions League 'Legends' game at Somerset House today - take some eggs and throw them at Boswanker |

I was a cyclist in London my whole life before moving to Switzerland 6 years ago. Cycling in London is fkn manic and every single commute felt like a bloody dice with death. Drivers are so fkn angry nowadays.
Cycling in Switzerland by contrast is a dream - drivers are so considerate it's unreal. In the 6 years I've had no crazy close encounters and certainly no imbeciles actively trying to run me down, whereas in London I have been knocked off my bike eight times, not counting the number of close shaves I've had.
Yes there a lot of cyclist that go through red lights. But does that really mean they should be run down like rats? There have been many similar threads here down the years and neither side is going to change their opinion. |

Like I said before, there was many more than 6k inside the stadium without tickets. That's just the number they ended up deciding on arbitrarily |

I know no-one died mate, but equally they haven't painted it as an unavoidable attack. It's just a standard Netflix documentary that doesn't look into the story in any depth. My opinion - I don't feel it's sensationalist or anything and I don't have a problem with the title being Attack on Wembley - for anyone who was there those three words perfectly describe what it was like.
Of course I get your point that there were no deaths and why aren't there any docs about the Brixton Academy etc etc, but that's more a question of 'why aren't those documentaries being made' rather than 'why has this one been put together' |

As long as I live, I will never forget the sound that erupted when the ball hit the back of the net |

Completely different. If some people jump the fence at Glastonbury and anyone dies, it certainly won't be for the same reasons as the EURO 2020 final |

No, the 6k without tickets was the number they claim managed to 'jib in' - the reality was far higher than that. And it's lucky it was only 60% capacity - if it had been 100% there would have been serious injuries in that stadium |

I got there about 5 hours before ko and it was already like a scene from a war zone. The utterly ridiculous thing is that throughout the worst of the disorder, riot police were stationed on the other side of the stadium but not called in until way too late |
