Did you not see India v Pakistan or whoever is was fighting outside a cricket ground in the world cup?

Edit : Afghanistan

Shocking new footage of Pakistan and Afghanistan fans brawling at World Cup

In fairness the reasons for said behaviour have much more complex origins & depth of feelings. And on that occasion were fuelled by deep-seated values & political persecutions &/or beliefs beliefs rather than "Let's go to Rotherham"

Yes. Saw a massive row on a train station between two lots of rugby league supporters once. Granted it probably happens a lot less often but it does happen.

And even Cricket nowadays, it IS a societal problem & issue. Football is just the true focus for such antics though...even taking proportion & circumstance out of the equation.

lol remind me how many people have died at the football due to cocaine. Remind me how many people have died to due knife crime? bad taste of an example and a poor one

Death shouldn't be the measure! People caught carrying weapons is the measure imo...& it is far far higher at football than it is at hockey or basketball or tennis or swimming or even what I think would be 2nd on the list to football (Rugby League)!

It is a touch annoying when you get pulled to one side when you've doing nothing wrong though. No big deal, but there were disapproving looks and shakes of the head from people walking past. Felt compelled to tell them I'd only had a few pints of Guinness, but not sure they'd have believed me. I did lose my house key during the search as well when I loaded all my crap on the table, but no drama.

I've got no issue with it tbh. If you've nothing to hide and all that. It is the first time I've seen it though. I've seen sniffer dogs at big events, but they're usually for anti-terror as far as I know, although I am sure it's different at music festivals etc. If they are going to do it, they need to stop using apprentice dogs though and bring out the seasoned pros, and also try to ensure it doesn't result in bottlenecks which some have said was a problem.

I agree it is cause for embarrassment. It has happened to me. Turn it around though & one stabbing in 20 games would maybe equate to 1 in 200k chance it might be you that got stabbed. So should we say "sod it" it's unlikely I will be the victim? Or "sod it" it is unlikely that I will be stopped, or 8ndeed the only one stopped?

I just checked this post and see that I used the word respectful 3 times. Too many people going to football show none of this, to opposition fans, stewards, people behind the counters or even their fellow fans.

A viscious circle in a downward spiral

Have you ever tried to stroke those dogs? Sometimes they don't mind, sometimes they say no, but I always teach the family to ask before and don't just assume, but I've seen some of the policemen get really aggressive simply over being asked if it was ok.

Are you the sort that would approach a soldier in the heat of a battle to ask for a selfie?

The smoke bombs you can just chuck it in where your bollocks are pre entry to the ground! The cannisters arent that big.

MY canisters are precious & would NEVER be risked alongside those damn things!

It does. I was standing next to these twats at Forest Green Rovers away last season and they were being aggressive and racist to their own players as well as to FGR players. They were all pretty young too, late teens and the worst of a lot was a girl.

Please don't tell us you STILL believe they are made of sugar & spice & all things nice???

We are going as my son loves his away games, but it does worry me. I just have to hope we are "lucky" and are away from these lot. It's a shame the club can't do anything about it. If I saw/heard anything, I would tweet them and see what they say. I have seen a few similar tweets in the past.

It is amazing to me that people find it so convenient to video so many things & post them on Facebook or whatever, but when it comes to bad behaviour - & it is so often in full view of others, we barely get to scratch the surface!

Actually thinking it ever went away, in any walk of life, is extremely naive.

This is very true ‘but we did seem to have a sizeable contingent of dickheads up there for some reason.

On behalf of Rob, if the soldier had a Sky Blue top on. the answer is 'yes'

 

[SkyblueBazza]

The spying was actually the club though? The racist chants were the fans? Not a great point...

Yes...so why did UEFA ban all English clubs from UEFA competitions back in '87. That wasn't the clubs either.

My wife and her mate was with us on Saturday and she said a bloke had gone into the use the girls loos and he was fairly well received and no one minded too much. He then proceeded to piss all over the seat and make the toilet pretty much unusable for the women in there. It’s fucking pathetic. All these ‘real’ men treating women and kids with complete disregard. Would happily see them all fuck off and never come to a city game again.

This is the thing - if its a genuine mistake then fine just hurry up, shut the door while your in there and leave it in decent state. But these guys were doing none of that, too pissed or stoned to tuck themselves away, staggering round and just acting like morons.

Like say some circumstances I can forgive, like at the old Doncaster ground - 2 ladies toilets and all the queue moaning about a man being in one. Imagine my face when out come my Dad! But there was a genuine need, he was frail, couldn't push into the mens and had a medical need.

Then again I remember going to St Andrews when there was 1 ladies and I was the only one to use it! God I really am that old.

Of course football fans get a bad rep. Do you see fights outside rugby, cricket, ice hockey, motor racing grounds? There's a reason for that and its not "Persecution"

You eejit.

At T20 finals day there were some extremely pissed up blokes with a couple of punches thrown.

Went to an England rugby game in France on a coach once and the guy just opposite got on the coach at 6am with 6 bottles of wine. Drank them all before we got to the game. Ended up being sick all over the floor on the way back. Coach absolutely stank. But he didn't start a fight to be fair to him.

One place I've not seen it ice hockey, which may seem odd given they actually have fights on the ice at times.

Without doubt football is far more likely to have this twattish behaviour, but it also the most popular sport and will on the whole therefore have the biggest crowds increasing the likelihood of twats.

Do hear about that but don't do horse racing.

I have mensioned it before but we also had trouble at FGR. They were racially abusing an 18 year old female steward telling her to fuck off back to her own country.
We confronted them to which they took exception one is a well known supporter they were pissed as farts.
We were made to move by the stewards they were let off Scot free.
Next time I will just knock them out, horrible people.

Why knock them out next time? Why didn’t you do it the first time if you were going to do it? or are you a typical sky blues talk wetwipe that gives it ten cause you’re behind a false name?

Gives it ten needs to go in the forgotten phrase thread

Most on here know who I am have never hid it thanx.
And I'm not a barbarian anymore try to talk thing out first.
Anyway wouldnt have been fair his Dutch courage would have worn off and probably pissed himself.
Come on a grown man picking on an 18 year old girl shows him for what he is.

I’m not debating what they did wasn’t wrong because it is. I was just stating that people on here have a habit of moaning about some of our fans saying if they see it again they’ll do something about it. If something is to be stopped you need to stop it there and then not commenting on a thread on a forum saying you’ll sort them out if they do it again

I dont generally moan about our fans have stuck up for them in the past unfortunatly this is not a Coventry epidemic, it is part of life.
The only differance now to yesteryear more are prepared to do something about it.
Yes there are many on here who are just hot air, cant blame them if they are scared to speak up against these bullies.
But they still shouldnt have to put up with it.

Yeah...not exactly a partisan sport from what I make of it. So whst is at play there? Drink or drugs or both? Or something else?

"...a well known supporter..." well-known perhaps, supporter? If this is typical behaviour surely that is not supportive of the club or it's values?

That is easy for some of us to say, but no matter how big or hard you it still takes balls to confront people (especially in groups...& they know that that is why they only really behave like it when in relatively safe numbers).
For it to be confronted properly we have to get over this "grassing-up" fear/persecution & report the idiots to the Police - & note the Police badge number to follow it up afterwards if nothing is done
