In 20 odd years of posting utter ******** on this BBS, this might just be your best effort yet. Hats off!
I have been frisked many times at football. I don’t like it and sometimes ask if it’s necessary to include people of all ages. I don’t ever think of it as them touching my body though. It’s not like they ask you to unbutton your clothes and drop your trousers so they can ravish your bare flesh in a orgy of wanton lust. Ohhhhh suit you.
This thread is wonderful. Perhaps he/she was sexually assaulted. In which case your "fusspot" seems a bit premature.
Not really. Some clubs just wave us through, one steward even frisked my mate / who’s blind. Do you think it’s necessary to search everyone going to a football match then? What age do you see people still being seen as potential trouble makers? 79, 80?
3 pages..... the OP says something faintly daft and doesn’t post again...... Everyone else loses their ****! It’s pure classic BBS this.
Erm... welcome to the BBS. It’s a bit like a Council meeting. I person responds to your O/P: the other 40 assume they should do the same - in the same terms.
Ok, let’s put it this way. What do you think the average age for people arrested or booted out of football matches. Do you think it’s nearer 20 or 54 which is my age? All I ask is that all stewards employ the same sensible approach and save themselves a bit of fannying about. It’s all about common sense.
While understand the point you are making it wouldn't be long before someone of a certain age was persuaded to sneak flares and such into grounds. You might not some would.
So anybody that falls below the average age should just be waved through? Great system that. Next time I want a flare brought in, I’ll just put it in my grandad’s pocket. You sound like one of those that thinks only brown people should be checked at airports. (Not trying to say you are one of those people, but that’s only 1 step removed from what you’re advocating!)
Why do people keep talking about airports? There isn't the same threat level at a second tier football game and the searches aren't looking for the same things.
