Look, I'm not a narc, I support decriminalisation, and I don't want to put a dampener on the day, but my word. The flagrant and open usage of gear at the game yesterday was jaw dropping.
And I work in advertising.
I went to the loo during the long injury break and was surprised to find the packed toilets were full of people not going for a wee, instead people openly snffing from bags
Saw 2 QPR fans fighting as we got in, both visibily charged up
Saw a few lads really looking quite worse for wear and in bad ways
Lads in front of us, oldest 18 max spent the whole first half ringing one of their Dads to come and meet them. Dad arrives and starts dishing out the packet onto their fists and they start sniffing in the stands and vaping relentlessly
I'm not an idiot. I know it's endemic in the UK and would the same in any away end, but the openness, brazenness and volume of consumption really caught me off guard yesterday.
Funny enough one of the Dogs I saw yesterday was being handled by a lady wearing a "Dog Mum" woolly hat so it doesn't entirely suggest that it was a highly trained working hound...
It always makes me chuckle going to the loos in the Ellerslie Road stand before home games these days seeing queues for the sit-down loos. I can't imagine they're all queuing for a poo and are too shy to use a urinal in case someone else catches a glimpse of their knob...
It doesn't make me chuckle when I need a sit down & have to wait ages for the cubicle to be free in the pub or the ground. And, since having my gallbladder removed, when I need to go, I really do need to go!
I also hadn't realised this was the reason for their overlong stay in the loo. I'd assumed they were reaching the end of a chapter in a book. Well, that's why I take so long at home!
Or two blokes going in the same cubicle together.Neither of them look like George Michael so there must be another reason why they’d have to go together. The lack of stewarding in the top tier was laughable,and people were openly smoking and vaping.
Someone near us lit up an absolutely dench bifta just before we scored, so we decided it was lucky and kept shouting "skin up, we need another!"
People were bringing beers back to the seat and our section was covered in a thick mist of fruit flavoured fog, which I mostly found endearing vs the unrelenting sniff
Quite a few of my work colleagues at work still partake. Never touched it myself and never seen the point of it . You can always tell the ones taking it as they suddenly start talking complete bollocks and repeating themselves. If you like it , crack on but somebody has probably suffered as result of it going up peoples hooters .
Sniffer dogs need to work for a maximum two hours before being given an extended period of rest.
If outsouced security companies were used, then I bet their dogs were the ones who failed their tests dor the police/army, haven't been properly trained, and were probably working for several hours without rest. I suspect by the time you all arrived, they'd have trouble sniffing their own arse much less locating some charlie.
Staggering to read a parent was supplying a child. Openly. There really is no hope.
These were actually "Small Boat Dogs" ...... coming over here taking all our sniffing jobs and all that. B'stards.
I spoke to a handler up Canary Wharf next to Tower 1 whilst I was waiting for my lunchtime pissup colleagues to arrive. "Drugs dog is he?" The copper guffawed loudly.... "No chance! He'd be going mental every 5 minutes up here if he was drug detection!!!! Bombs and firearms mate..."
Sniffer dogs are amazing.
As for the amount of Chang about these days I don't think much has changed more that people are more aware / brazen.
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

I was in the Mad Bishop & Bear in Paddington, and you have to get a code from the barkeep to use the Gents. I wondered why.

I used to play football with a copper who had a bomb dog, those dogs are amazing. It was like a child to him, only a little spaniel thing, not a massive german shepherd

Well the smaller the better really. You want something that's easy to launch at the enemy.

"somebody has probably suffered as result of it going up peoples hooters".
Unfortunately, illegal activities like the drug trade can be mixed up with all sorts of seemingly unrelated and seriously nasty stuff. It has been proven that drug gangs have traded guns for narcotics.
Cocaine production also results in a huge amount of deforestation in the Amazon.
A student who had the room next to me in hall had a drug related nervous breakdown. His sister had to come to get him, she whisked him away and we never saw him again. I hope he managed to recover and get clean. He'd already wrecked his ankle, having fallen from quite a height while trying to climb down a drainpipe while drugged up.
These things can quickly spin out of control, be careful out there.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
I must have missed all of this Perhaps it was 40 minutes of waiting to go through security checks number 1 Considering the amount of fans we took and the crap segregation I thought it was all very mild mannered
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I was a bit of a weekend hippie, so used to people drug using. Only ever dabbled myself and glad to have moved to booze. It's not good for communities for people to use drugs persistently. Alright for a party or such, I'm not really a prude.
I think alcohol causes communities far more problems generally than a few people having a nose up tbh
I agree with what another poster said in that it was a pretty mild mannered day

Sorry......... I'd run out by the time we caught up at Half Time.
This sort of behavoir is not to be sniffed at.
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal
Got to be one of the worse drugs out there. Lump in the throat, talk absolute shite and you think your Billy big bollocks!
Now Magic 🍄 on the other hand is a misunderstood medicine, notice how I didn't say drug. Absolute life changing as long as you have a good set and setting.
Coke has been around football for absolutely donkeys years!

Alcohol certainly causes problems, but they tend not to include as a matter of course murder, torture, intimidation, coercion and corruption all through the supply chain.
I might be naive and not spot it going on but I’ve never seen anyone openly snorting in the Ladies. We always have to queue but that’s just cos it’s more of a palava for us to do a quick wee.
I’m glad football hasn’t gone down the unisex loos route. Sounds awful. But overall I thought it was pretty good natured. Even in a massive queue outside Stratford station people were good naturedly sparring with ‘U R/s’ and ‘U Irons’ and East and West London being wonderful with only a smirk in response.
I don’t mind what drugs you take as long as it doesn’t turn you into an aggressive or annoying arse.
ETA: actually I take on board the other posts here about the damage the drugs trade does in the countries where the crops are grown and the communities where people are hooked on them. Didn’t mean to minimise it as a massive issue.

QPR is my drug and it has been known to turn me into an annoying arse.

Well that’s normal isn’t it?
I delighted my Tai Chi women tonight with the clip of our fans when our goal went in. They humour me as they’re all lovely but there’s a whiff of bemusement!

Yes indeedio. Plus all the jobs booze supports in the industry. Up the hatch! Er, no its down the hatch I believe.

Quite. The cocaine trade makes poor societies here and abroad more dysfunctional and violent.
