Christ, been listening to Talksport and the shows pretty much about the disgraceful antics of the klan over the park. Every single shoite fan phoning in so far has toed the party line saying it was unacceptable behaviour. Then comes the next word "but" and they justify it in the most bellendry way possible, one lad said I was right there and it was 2 to 3 lads who were drinking bottles and cans and coke who got a bit over excited and threw them at the coach, there was no ale involved. Quickly shot down by Jim White the next whopper comes on saying its called the "welcoming committee" and has been going for over 20 years, and in that time theres never been any problems blah, blah, blah....
Constant BS, downright lies, fanaticism, mob mentality, persecution complex, all in all a cult.
