There is no comparison. Alkmaar fans had made their way across half of the stadium to confront West Ham’s friends and family section. The West Ham fan in question was stopping their fans who were about to attack anyone in that section. A completely different scenario, it seems, to the events in Athens.
Two men there with no hats. Presumably they were soon spotted and ejected by the stewards, and received a follow-up letter in the post banning them for 5 home matches for besmirching the club by failing to comply with the dress code.
I can tut very loudly and in tune thank you very much. I generally fold my arms, I certainly don’t cross them - I’m not dead yet.
Yeh def a bit embarrassing but not a reflection on them or our fan base as a whole for me. Which is kind of what the post I replied to suggested. Things happen and it’s usually forgotten or just part of it. Just a normal thing that happens at football. And no, I wouldn’t be doing it personallyOf course it was tame, there was netting and perspex to stop anything happening. But at what age did you realise pointlessly banging on the perspex, making wanker signs, threatening people who can't get at you (or you at them) and trying to impress the teenagers around you is a bit embarrassing when everyone knows nothing is going to happen.

13 of those individuals are still posting on NSC.
25p a pint, yes, but your weekly wage was only £20! Sometimes life can be so shit.

Talk about hat obsession. Even the women. Sorry, laydeez (it was a long time ago).I didn’t realise Adolf Hitler (bottom row, third from the right) was an Albion fan. Quite extraordinary.
And three are moderators
That picture was taken on January 13th, so it probably was a bit nippy.
Wednesday's lottery numbers? Think I'll give them a try.........................Of course it was tame, there was netting and perspex to stop anything happening.

No Stone Island on show and not a phone in sight, everyone living for the moment
Did you not watch us in the Hyypia season?
Was there a pattern?
I think some people need to just lighten up a bit as well, and realise sometimes it is fun to have a few beers and wind up the opposition fans from behind the safety of the segregation (providing they don’t carry knives). Obviously wind milling a few Greek blokes is a one off incident, don’t think it’s a massive inditement on our support. I agree with @Ike and Tina Burner I’ve always found older blokes far more problematic at away games than younger ones. Too many people accuse them of being plastics etc, when a lot of these lads put in the miles every week. Most of them are completely sound if you actually talk to them.
About 25..Of course it was tame, there was netting and perspex to stop anything happening.
