Theres been a huge increase in haircuts recently

They replied "shut up one direction" then he threw a pint at one of them.
All quite amusing but embarrassing.

Honestly, give over.

Christ knows what folk would think if Barrow actually had football hooligans half the time.

The young lad who threw the firework was 14. It was a monumentally stupid and dangerous thing to do. He handed himself in, got a trip to the station for his trouble and no doubt an almighty rollocking at home. What do people want?

The language gets out of hand at times and some of the abuse being dished out ain't great, but Barrow is no different to any other football club in that respect.

The players thing is a worry, but nobody moaned much when Bayes and Shezza, who could swear for England, were getting about the side.

As normal,a bang on post.

Well said BA

The title of this thread and content of the post is completely out of proportion and lacks any sort of perspective whatsoever IMO.

For the more local Northern games there are some idiots that go to games but this is a small percentage of all the fans that go. On the longer trips you don't get the idiots we saw at Fylde on Saturday or at Halifax earlier in the season.
I don't agree with having an argument and giving abuse to the players on the bench the way its been described.
However I completely agree with barrowaberdeen post in that you get bad language during the game at all clubs and I think that's only to be expected really.

On the point about the players I think a lot of it is frustration, but partly because of Edmo's tactics and team selections where it seems to be getting to the point where the players don't know if they're playing or what they're meant to be doing from one game to the next, such are the number of changes that are being made and some of the statements that Edmo is making.

Grandy shook hands with the guy at half time and it all ended amicably.
