Can you tut in a Saff London accent?Having been in the Millwall family enclosure when Forster scored the winner for us some years ago, I can highly recommend tutting.

Exactly this for me too. Everyone knows the score. If you go in the home stands, don’t be jumping up and celebrating when your team scores. Certainly no colours. And sit on your hands, just enjoy game from a different perspective. Done this loads of times over the years. No dramas. And it’s fine the other way round at the Amex IMO.Sitting in the home end is fine by me just - like everything in life - don't be a bellend. I've sat on my hands at many a ground as we all know that's the price you pay ( and you don't get 15 loyalty points either). I've no sympathy for the celebratory types though. They deserve a good ribbing at the very least.
In 1978 I went to a game at Millwall on my own. I was sensible enough not to wear colours. The atmosphere outside the ground was a bit ominous and there was no sign of other Albion fans. I decided that it would be safer to go in the Millwall family area than anywhere else, especially the area where away fans would be expected. ( I don't recall there was a designated away fan turnstile but I do recall knowing where away fans would congregate.)Having been in the Millwall family enclosure when Forster scored the winner for us some years ago, I can highly recommend tutting.
I was in the seats. A child in front of me cheered our goal, he was about 8 I would think. Old guy in front of him threw a scalding hot cup of tea in his face.In 1978 I went to a game at Millwall on my own. I was sensible enough not to wear colours.

I was truly shocked by the behaviour of the adults in the family area in front of their kids. The language, and over the top , but obviously routine, brutal outbursts were not what I had expected in there. I was scared all match of being discovered and kept my soft Southern voice mute. Got away with it but wouldn't dream of doing that again. ( Although it would be neat to try one of the home ends at the Orange Velodrome......)
Brighton won 1-0, with a goal by Peter Ward.
That was provocation and I cannot commend you.Had the Guildford branch of Liverpool supporters Across the aisle to the side of me in WSU. One of the knobby bellenders thought it was his devine right to stand in the middle of the aisle and obstruct a dozen or so fans views and video the penalty. He was told in no uncertain terms to feck off but still thought he was doing nothing wrong but shuffled back up the steps to finish off his recording. He then smuggly waltzed down the steps mumbling under his breath as he walked passed me. NOW AT 56, MAYBE I SHOULD OF JUST FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT..SOD THAT! on 78 mins I did what any petulant adolescent would do...LEPT OUT OF MY SEAT, TOOK ONE STEP DOWN THE AISLE, TOOK 4 PACES TO MY LEFT AND PLACED MY PHONE VIDEOING DUNK AND CO CELEBRATING THE EQUALIZER RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE LIVERPOOL SUPPORTERS FACE! YES very childish but by christ did it feel good! UTA
There were tickets on the exchange the night before so this isn’t true.Agree with this. Especially when purchase history fans can’t buy tickets for these games.
I call it eye for eye, I paid for a full game and I will jolly well watch a full game. (unless I choose to visit the loo)That was provocation and I cannot commend you.
Although I'm having a lot of trouble condemning it as well....

You missed out “Yew caant!”Taaaat
I was at that game too. The timing of the fixture couldn’t have been worse as the BBC Panorama programme had just shown a lengthy documentary on football hooliganism featuring - Millwall. This obviously dwelt on the minds of a lot of fans. For the first time ever Mrs.Punal and I, and a friend, bought seat tickets in the main stand rather than standing on the terraces.In 1978 I went to a game at Millwall on my own.

Yeah, it’s easy enough not to celebrate when your team score, it’s having to cheer and shout when the other lot do that’s the tough one.I have only been in the home end at a half empty Leyton Orient where I probably had a row of seats to myself. Not exactly threatening.
The hardest thing to remember is to at least clap when then home team scores.
The only time I gave that game away was when Stockdale treated the ball like a bar of soap to gift Newcastle the Championship title. I just sat there with my head in my hands. Luckily, the blokes next to me turned to the away end to give it some whilst ignoring me ( I was sat on their left and our fans were to the right). The old villa lady next to me actually consoled me. It was a nice touch as that really could have gone the other way.Yeah, it’s easy enough not to celebrate when your team score, it’s having to cheer and shout when the other lot do that’s the tough one.
Many times in away end but could never bring myself to clap. Standing up when opposition score is as far as I go.Yeah, it’s easy enough not to celebrate when your team score, it’s having to cheer and shout when the other lot do that’s the tough one.
Probably isn’t much difference between the average Manu fan and average galatasaray fan - travel about the same distance to watch a match.Manchester United admit 2,000 Galatasaray fans were allowed to access home section at Old Trafford

Weird they were there when the away end had quite a few empty seats?Big lolz at the Southampton fan at the front of the WSU, who outed himself celebrating a goal that didn’t count, and got bundled out of the ground.
