I saw much more of that in your response than Betlarge’s, gman?
Where exactly? Could you enlighten me. I was responding to comments on here.

Yes, you were earlier responding to comments on here by saying “The classism and arrogance on this forum astounds me at times” etc…
Which to my mind if anything shows your own classism and arrogance together with you yourself “jumping to conclusions” about TRFers.
P.S. I was in the New Forest on Sunday, doing a round walk from Fritham to Frogham and back over Hampton Ridge.
Value Is EverythingI accept the first point shouldn’t have been so general. What I meant was some of the posts on here represent that viewpoint.
Your second point makes no sense. I was responding to views from thia thread directly regarding football, lager, etc
I honestly couldn’t care less what you do in your own time. I was too busy out drinking lager, chanting about football and fighting.
Just because someone doesn’t like lager louts, doesn’t mean they’ve labelled every lager drinker (or drugs user come to that) as a trouble maker. Nor does it mean the person making those comments is a different “class” to you. Fact is the more alcohol/drugs are consumed the more likely he/she (more likely he) is going to be violent. Therefore it is only natural for people to think of ways to improve the situation.
Personally, I don’t drink but have no problem with others who do; as long as it’s within boundaries. Problem is in our country it’s now socially acceptable to be worse for drink/drugs. Often seems people believe it a legitamate excuse for bad behaviour (not only violence)… Being so sozzled/stoned they don’t realise what they’re doing and how their bad behaviour often ruins enjoyment for others. Not the biggest reason but is a contributory factor in me not going racing any more.
Things will only improve if society and therefore businesses/racecourses have a lower threshold for this type of thing. I’ve seen coaches of people arrive at Newbury and Goodwood already worse for wear, they should not be let in! I’ve seen racegoers drink too much within the racecourse. Once someone gets to a certain stage they should be refused alcohol and sometimes thrown out. But all too often authorities are too scared to do the right thing, just in case doing so makes the drunkard lose the plot.
Value Is EverythingAs Paul knows from some very fine racing days together, I never drink at the course (even cheltenham festival now Paul) . I find it a bit baffling. I love the sport and don’t enjoy feeling crap in the evening let alone next day. Not difficult equation
I go to the test match at oval all five days every year and don’t touch a drop. When I told one aquaintance I never miss a day he was “blimey you must be trolleyed!”
“Do I look like an ******* alcoholic?”
Why this obsession with drink? It’s a real disease in these isles. Do people really want to smell whilst sporting red mottled face and fat gut whilst not being able to get it up even if presented with Kelly brook and christy canyon for threeway ?
(He’s a good guy so I didn’t quite reply like that but the point was made)
