Awful to read the Cardiff forum and to hear an Ipswich fan (amongst a group of 40) attacked a 70. Year old man leaving him hospitalised. Reading an account from his son of the details it seems truthful.
All teams have knobs following them - but a 70 year old man?

Because millions of people use them without any issue at all.
If you want to ban airport bars because some people can't handle their drink and behave like dickheads, would you apply that logic to bars at Portman Rd? |
I don't want to close airport bars. My suggestion is simply that they shouldn't be allowed to sell alcohol before a reasonable time, say 11:00am. |  |

Why treat them differently? Pubs in the UK have had 24 hour licenses and have had for years. |  |

As Smithy doesn't seem to be around, I've set up an account on that CC forum and had it verified, so could organise sending the pensioner a hamper if people would like me to go ahead?
Just not sure how to collect donations whilst protecting my real-life ID, as I haven't done this kind of thing before. Advice please? If people do want me to go ahead. |  |

Still hawking books about his 'alleged' involvement with the Soul Crew, he's very subtle so sure no one possibly could think he was actually involved |  |

There's probably sufficient doubt about what happened for an apology on there on behalf of ITFC fans to be sufficient IMO. |  |

Sure. They read this thread, so maybe that's enough, I hardly feel I'm the right one to act as spokesperson on behalf of everyone here anyway, but offered to front the hamper suggestion as I think it's important to restore good relations over there. | |

Slightly off topic, but an increasing number of flights are having problems with unruly passengers. Often, the miscreants have been drinking alcohol at an airport from early in the morning. Why shoul;d airport bars be able to serve alcohol at such a ridiculous time, apart form the obvious "profit" motive? |

Indeed. I've been to Cardiff a few times and found the locals to be very welcoming. |  |

I can't think of a situation where a 70 year old deserves a thump. Disgusting. |

What if a 16 year old on the coach done a moonie though? Full cheeks to glass. Steamy bum print left. What if that 16 year old then wrote a rude message in the condensed guff steam? There's a line that's crossed eventually. |
Probably going to be uncomfortable for said 16 year old when the brick goes through the window! |  |

We certainly have a massive problem with alcohol. It apparently costs us in the UK £27BN per year through related crime, lost productivity and health impacts. It must be the second largest self inflicted damage to society. |  |

Agreed. I find it crazy how much this country revolves around alcohol.
Like the majority of our social gatherings do. After work drinks, weddings, you could even make a case for Saturday afternoons at football.
If you say 'I don't drink', then you're the odd one out. Funny really considering it is literal poison.
Not that I don't love a few beers mind you |  | | |

What the Smeg is wrong with some people. Attacking anybody is unforgivable but a 70 yo guy.
Every club has them I know but I really hope they are identified and then banned. The current owners of the club won't put up with any of this cr@p.
Of all seasons for this to happen, we should be bound together joyously come what may |  |

No one needs a drink at that time. And people who do start at that time are likely to cause grief on the plane.
No harm at all frankly in stopping that. | | | |

In your opinion they don’t.
Hundreds and thousands of people ‘have a drink’ prior to boarding, and don’t cause trouble on the plane. What a stupid thing to say
Fly long haul and it’s drinks whenever you want them ffs [Post edited 12 Mar 2024 8:45]

Nothing to do with opinion. "need" is the operative word. If they really "need" a drink at 7am, they need medical assistance.
Notably, you have done a bait and switch here. Your example was people going on holiday and wanting to start at 7am. Not people who want a drink just to get on a flight, which is rather different and much less likely to be trouble for a cabin crew. [Post edited 12 Mar 2024 8:51]

Again, in your opinion. Your aren’t judge and jury in this. Because YOU don’t want a drink at that time you aren’t in the wrong, just as thousands aren’t in the wrong or need medical assistance if they want a drink at that time. | |
