EastKentRam Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Cant believe he got sent to jail for that, obviously he's a complete and utter tw*t, but i dont really like how just cos it's a main stream incident they've sent him to prison. If that happened on a night out, he would get a caution at most, police probably wouldnt even bother making an arrest and just send both parties on their way. Then again, he is a Leeds fan, and one less of them in society can only be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 i think you are forgetting something. Camp is a weak sheep shagger as well.

Exactly, high profile incidents and they'll hand out a longer sentence. Would he have got a 6 months sentence if he done that in some shabby, local boat race? I doubt it.

StockholmRam Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I think Leeds United officials came out and said they have banned this moron for life from Elland Road and from buying any tickets for their matches home and away from any club source. It is to their credit. However I think more needs to be done by FA or Police regarding their supporters. The nastiness they bring to the game has been there for all to see for too many years now.Many of us of a certain vintage remember them all too well from the 70s and 80s rumbling on from town to town bringing destruction and street fighting to an altogether different level. Of course there are hooligans and yobs at other clubs too. We have had our own share down the years and clubs like the dastardly Millwall and West Ham, Cardiff have certainly been high profile cases but Leeds just seem to want to be " Kings of the hooligans"!!

Dave ( Red ) Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 The problem is when changes get made to deal with a few idiots, it impacts the normal fans as well. Fencing being 1 example. Is it time to ban away fans ? Would more or less people go to games if it was home fans only ? So far no solution has worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Banning away fans would impact on the normal fans though Dave. I mean I remember being quite excited about my first trip to Anfield. I'm pleased I got to Highbury, going to iconic grounds is up there with seeing top bands for me, it's a difficult one, I wonder if something like having to show a club ID card on the way into the ground and it being revoked for an offence thus making the bearer unable to attend any other matches could be a solution. Just an idea like. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It's hardly a big problem, was a one off incident basically. What made me laugh, was before it happened there was no stewards/police anywhere to be seen. After the goal a squad of about 200 marched out to do their job. What were they doing before?

One off incident?? Seriously? Im reading from my far out post about hooliganism in UK rearing its ugly head again on a fairly constant basis especially with Leeds and where we are in Scandinavia firms, violence and just general unacceptable behaviour are at an all time high. To be fair its a club I treat with a rather large ammount of contempt over the years...pre Brian Cloughs 44 day stay too. But Im quite old fashioned in these regards. I dont even really like chants of an obscene nature. Their chant at Christmas to Nigel Clough ( on mass too..not just the odd 1 or 2) " your dad was a cnut and so are you" is just disgraceful. The man is dead..let him rest in peace. I worry for society I really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often do you see a real fight at football? I think i've seen one incident that could be described as 'hooliganism' in the last few years, that was at Leeds as well. Take away big derby days between sides and any incidents are so few and far between they're not even worth mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hooliganism is finished in England, there is nothing of the sort anymore, as EKR has said, all you see nowadays is drunk idiots making fools of themselves, it is like a Saturday night out in any major city up and down the country, NOTHING to do with football. The "dark days" will never return don't worry about that, we haven't got the social climate anymore to encourage this, ask anyone who was around at the time, it is completley different going to football now. The lad who ran on the pitch, was a tool, but not a "hooligan" as people are trying to say, he was just a tool, a complete tool by the way, who I have to say, has a striking resemblence to Robin Van Persie don't you think?? Anyway, that's getting off the subject, Leeds fans are no better or worse than anyone else around now. The FA, no matter how badly you think of them, have done an amazing job of getting rid of the hooligan element throughout the country, including the national team.

Dave ( Red ) Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 More & more pundit opinion on football with every decision looked at over & over. Is it OTT ? Evil chants, coins thrown, players attacked, managers in the media trying to get players done for diving or kicking. PC gone mad in some cases with john Terry & Rio getting more coverage than people fighting for the country. The game has changed so much because of TV.

MuespachRam Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 but could you imagine if there had been such a thing as the tinterweb what the forum would have been filled with in the 80's? It's dead....these are just little tosspots, no need for everyone to panic about the dark days returning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
