As said earlier, throwing things isn’t new.
I have vivid memories of the following,
- standing on the terracing at Celtic Park being bombarded with golf balls and darts from the ‘best fans on the planet.’ They we’re actually quite clever using the open space between the fans to bounce the balls into us.
- as a neutral standing on the segregation line (ok fucking stupid I know) at a cup final at Hampden ( Hibs v Celtic) watching cans of Tennants being lobbed over my head from both directions, somehow feeling perfectly safe but still getting drowned in pish spewing out of said cans.
- in the Cowshed in Greenock, pre segregation, watching one totally pished Ned about to throw a crowbar at the opposition, I thought I was safe until the drunk c**t managed to somehow throw it at a 90 degree angle and nearly took my head off.
Happy days……
