    [Albion] Ajax Goal Celebrations - Beer Throwing Bans?

    Thing is, at least three cups were luzzed well after the initial goal celebration, in a deliberate attempt to get them over the glass/perspex. They landed on the polythene on the other side and partially obstructed (or at least slightly polluted) the already compromised view we had. Hardly the...

    [Albion] Positives from Today (Sheffield United)

    We have 1 more point this season than we did at the same stage last season despite selling 2/3 of the best central midfield we have ever had, an ongoing European campaign and an injury crisis.

    [Albion] The Marseille variant?

    I do understand your point. I guess I feel at the very least it would be nice if we'd adopted the culture of mask-wearing while symptomatic, if absolutely nothing else. But yeah, given the UK public's broadly outraged reaction to even this one relatively minor expense and inconvenience, I'm...

    [Albion] The Marseille variant?

    I didn't mean to steer this into a tiresome Covid debate either, although the thread title sort of implied a connection. I appreciate many have completely 'moved on' and I totally understand that. I only wish my partner (and her elderly auntie who died from Covid) could have been allowed to.

    [Albion] The Marseille variant?

    For many, this is true. For others not so. A common cold has never left anyone young, fit and healthy who I know long-term disabled.

    [Albion] The Marseille variant?

    It would have been so disappointing. But I just ordered two new boxes of in-date tests for whenever I get any sort of bug. I accept some people will feel this is OTT, but perhaps they've been luckier as regards to those close to them being affected.

    [Albion] The Marseille variant?

    Thanks to this, Long Covid is still ruining lives. Having seen my partner's life devastated by Long Covid, I won't ever knowingly spread it. I'd have been utterly gutted, heartbroken even. But I wouldn't have travelled. This will be the same for Amsterdam and Athens too.

    [Albion] The Marseille variant?

    I was there four days for four days, returned with no cold, Covid or mozzie bites. I really hope that no-one was selfish enough to travel knowing that they had Covid, but I appreciate that's naïvely optimistic.

    [Albion] Assault in away end

    In the UK it's a common assault, regardless of the context in which it took place. In this case with aggravating factors (the age/vulnerability of the victim).

    [Albion] Anyone feeling a bit flat about tomorrow after the Marseille game?

    As I type this from the departure lounge at Marseille, I can't wait until tomorrow 2pm. It'll be different for sure, and of course I'm trepidatious with the current issues we have on the pitch, but I'll never take playing the likes of Liverpool for granted.

    [Albion] Assault in away end

    This is sickening and shameful. The whole culture of "I can sit wherever I like" at any away game needs to end.

    Easily the loudest match I have ever been to in my almost 40 years of supporting the Albion.

    We're currently sitting eating a vegan burger just outside the taped-off fan zone. The police are being entirely friendly and hands-off at the moment.

    [Albion] The "Out in Marseille and this may help someone" thread

    We've been in Marseille all day and evening. Chilled, nice atmosphere, friendly people. One barman clocked us and was nothing but polite, saying he reckons we'll beat them. Watched the Champions League with some PSG-hating locals. I can't say what tomorrow will be like, or what every bar in...

    There was a woman behind us slagging him off the whole match. The silly clot.
