Here is a great article about hooliganism around the globe: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/dec/19/football-violence-view-around-world I feel that violence against other teams fans is just crass and immature.I understand if some may have a different take on the subject than I and that is fine.

nomad Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I watched this documentary "Football Fight Club" on Bbc Iplayer the other day. It focused on you football fans aged between 17-24, who are involved in youth firms looking forward to the fights on match day rather than the match itself. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02463c0 That link won't take you to the documentary but it should still be available on Iplayer for anyone.interested in watching.

McRamFan Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Anyone who participates in football violence should be jailed, not just banned, even if its the first time they get caught. Upon release they should be not allowed out of their house on any match days, and tagged for 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about an attack on a innocent person on a Saturday night? Death sentence? Will someone think of the childen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will someone think of the childen. I said participates, not got dragged in. If you are attacked and defend yourself it is different from willing participation, organised violence. As 'organised' violence results in the innocent ones being dragged in to it. I am thinking of the children as they are he ones that are 'recruited'. If there was a harder line on organised violence be it gang or football, then the lure of it would be diminished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Ram Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'm too old now... Sometimes it's hard to walk away though. Disproportionate nowadays, football fans are often threaten more harshly than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
