Yes, that was my experience of both amateur league and pub level football too. Basically a sanctioned fight for 90 minutes with a limited amount of paying football thrown in on top. Not sure what my fondest crazy memory of that would be. Either the time a player ran off the pitch during the game at Sighthill to punch me in the face and then ran back on to continue playing or alternatively the time a black Ford Granada was driven onto the pitch, at our goalkeeper and through our goals while playing at Wardie.

Was fine, more or less, once both games were over.
Too many stories to tell really, but I remember one game on the parks at Milton Road where the school now is, an Austin 1100 Blue and white Panda car drove up on the grass from the golf course end right up the side and across the grass before stopping beside one of the pitches, two cops jumped out, the game stopped and a guy playing in a blue and white hooped strip did a runner off the pitch right through one of the holes that were always in the railing and disappeared over the road the with cops in hot pursuit.

Another pub game I was involved in was stopped by the referee and all the players were required to help the goalkeeper find his false teeth!

At the Jack Kane pitches one of our guys was tripped up by a spectator, jumped straight back up and punched him before chaos descended, it was like a scene from an old wild west film. Match abandoned.
