Throwing pints of beer in celebration!!

[Sammysmiths]

Is this a new thing? What a stupid thing to do! Am I old and boring? I like beer. The last thing I’d want to do after paying a fiver for a plastic pint, would be to throw it across a crowded arena when a goal is scored, someone wins a match, or a banging tune starts playing.
The last few concerts I’ve been to seem to end this way when one idiot will launch a pint across the crowd, then other idiots retaliate and it becomes a melee of beer rain!
I’m nearly 50!!

Wouldn’t dream of doing it at those fan parks where they probably charge £6+ for a pint of Heineken!

Problem is WHAT are they throwing. I remember the end of season game against Brighton in the main square, beer followed by bottles.

Inexplicably did it in the Paris fan zone at Euro 2016, Eric Dier scored that free kick against Russia. Just bought 2 6 euro pints of Carlsberg and just hoyed them, it was like my arms were no longer connected to my brain. No regrets though.

If we're talking about the Danes, well given their tournament so far I'd venture they can throw what the hell they want.

It’s not always beer

It’s not a new phenomenon. I remember being packed into Athletic Park in the 80s watching the All Blacks and no chance getting to the toilets on the terraces. The done things was to p1ss into the beer cups. Then of course when the All Blacks scored - a golden shower.

Think I’ll stick to Jack Hatfield’s Club.

OMG.

The reason why pints should never be allowed in the seats.
I don't want to be covered in beer in the rare occasion we score away from home.

No problem if your seat is in the north stand :-(

Didn't even have a beer when I went in 2016, was around 6 euro for non-alcoholic. Not sure what the regulations re: drinking are this time though (potentially differs by country?)

I seem to remember it happening a lot in the fan zones at the last world cup. It looked like most of the people were stood there with full pints waiting for a goal.

F***ing stupid if you ask me - whats the point?

 

[red_harrington]

It's a great ad opportunity for the breweries to promote hoying beer when a goal is scored they'll sell loads

(except when England play given their recent scoring record)

 

[Wiseman_Vaughn]

It's got to be annoying for anybody just wanting to watch the game - and not participating in the High Jinx. It's a bit like the spitting at Punk Rock gigs in the 70s...wrong place wrong time and you get drenched.

If it's vaguely cold it's beer.
If it's warm it's not!

It seems to become more popular the more it's shown.

It's just what you do, right?

 

[WoodallServices]

I suppose there’s one consolation, it’s not something we need to worry about at Boro.

 

[Ipad1977]

I was in Belgium with work for the last world Cup and watched all the England and Belgium games in Antwerp Square with thousands packed into the centre and the bars all around the outside.

Whenever Belgium scored there were great big fountains of booze being hoyed everywhere.

Must be a flippin nightmare getting a refill at these large gatherings after a goal has been scored.
