Do you have a drink and coke problem?

I don’t drink alcohol but I do like the odd Coca Cola. It helps wash down the burgers!

The sort of bellends that start yelling and carrying on when the $1.10 shot they had $5 on gets up

Absolute idiots. What are the stewards doing though. Only like one maybe two trying to stop it or calm it down, loads just standing there, watching and doing nothing.

They are idiots yes but why would you rush in there anyone of them could have a knife.

Also, in the day and age of everything being recorded (said Twitter video) and evidenced it's a fine line for a probably poorly paid steward to get involved.

I'm not saying that it is right, however I am sure it's an aspect in their decision making as is it worth their job if it goes wrong? In their eyes, it probably isn't.

Twenty years ago, if there were issues like that then security may have waded in and any Cons. present would have been up for a scrap - then it would be over.

Agree with that, this day and age you really just have to let it come to an end then sort it out.

Utter bellends those, er, bellends.

Not a bad day for Nicholls, 8-winners:

Paul Nicholls: Cyrname and Clan Des Obeaux lead 45,863-1 eight-timer on 'Super Saturday'

Trainer Paul Nicholls racks up eight winners at odds of 45,863-1 as Cyrname and Clan Des Obeaux lead his dominance on 'Super Saturday'.

Cyrename was most impressive, beat a high class field by half the track

Clan looks good for the gold cup but still all over PP.

Shameful scenes.

Alcohol and coke fuelled knobs.

This. I was there and saw most of it, it was on the County stand lawn. Was in the Sandon bar and two kids in their early 20s started to sing Utd songs, wtf.

But isn't it part of their job to protect people who are there, otherwise what is the point of them being there. For me if you ain't willing to at least help in some way when something like this happens then don't do the job.

If someone was kicking your head in, which looks like it was happening to one or two people when you look at the start of the video, I would expect the stewards to be helping in some way to stop it. How could you forgive yourself if you did just stand there and something serious happened to that person. I know I wouldn't be able to.
