was at upton park last night...

[Dave Wells]

How sad !

[Dave Wells]

CORRECT !!

[hammer4life]

organised football violence has been around for years and all of a sudden post euro `96 we have had to live in this fabricated society where foul language at a game is now considered "innapropriate"

football is the working mans game and always has been. If 2 rival sets of fans willingly want to spend their saturday afternoon getting their frustrations out by kicking lumps out of eachother i for one aint gonna go out of my way to stop them.

Majority of millwall came to watch a game of football...5,600 however came with the sole purpose of doing as much damage in and around the stadium as possible. They got a hiding for their troubles

wheres the problem in that??

Well I am now in hospital with a broken nose I tried my luck and lost. damm.
Just to clarify I am only joking

[David Johnson]

Serves yourself right, Marino. Coming out of your patch onto someone else's patch looking for a ruck, red blooded male that you are. Trust that the other guy got a good kicking eh and wont be able to give his missus a seeing to for a week or two? All power to you.
Speaking of missuses, I had to give mine a slap the other night. Served me rump steak for the third time this week. Well she was asking for it wasnt she, bitch! If you aint got respect and your football team, what have you?
If I want to have a ruck and I can. Whats wrong with that?
Oi, oi!

This is good fun, Marino, wants you start getting into the way of thinking, lol!!

300 Spartans, maybe 2000 including foreign levies, in total. In
itself it was relatively minor [albeit utterly heroic and a masterpiece
of 'force multiplication'] but the timing of the stand was perfect and
it led directly to the decisive encounter at Salamis, wherein Xerxes
'got his arse well and truly kicked', as the historians put it : -)

So, some of us have grown up.

Tell that to the 'prawn sandwich' brigade. You're a dinosaur.
A lot of these hooligans are [and were- I remember encountering them
in the Thatcher years] are on really good salaries.

.... maybe coz you don't wanna get hurt ? Trouble is, it's not just
these morons who get hurt, is it? Innocent bystanders get caught in
the middle- and to blame the police is beneath contempt. If these
idiots didn't fight, or racially abuse people doing their job, then there
would be no need for the police. Let them hire a hall, and beat the
shit out of each other in private- or as others have said, let them join
up, go and fight real enemies.
To hide behind 'team allegiance' or 'passion' is utter cowardice.

If you can't see it, then you're beyond redemption.
