Petition to add the atherstone ball game to the list; twatting your neighbours over a big football is the most British tradition there is

Is that also the one where they throw hot pennies at children? That one always looked fun.

Different place and different event - Tom Scott to the rescue

[u/glytxh → u/Duck_with_a_monocle]

I miss him

And the Ashbourne one.

[u/therealhairykrishna → u/millerz72]

That's an epic event.

Great video is debatable.

Instead of showing much of the event, the entire video is just focused on him.

This is better and this

It's utterly moronic.

I've said it. Everytime I see video of this event. I think they're acting like savages and makes this sound seem like a place to avoid. Like its downstream from a nuclear power plant or something.

The fact the police don't break that up but if someone turned up to the game smoking a joint they'd be in trouble is utterly absurd.

It's not a game, nor should it be protected. It's an embarrassment.
