8Leeds Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I once had a battered sausage lobbed at me by some disgruntled fan (think it was Peterborough) whilst stood out side the chippy near the waterfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be voluntary and you would remain anonymous in the report. The findings will be produced as part of a study looking into the lived experience of football hooligans. The interview will take no longer than 50 minutes and can take place over zoom or in person. If you have any questions please let me know Thank you for your time Curtis I wonder if any are really ex or reformed, more likely just old! 😄 I hate football hooliganism.

trappatoni Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 3 hours ago, Foreveram said: Being a teenager in the early seventies it was part of the match day “ experience “🤕 Yes I think it was still that way to an extent into the 80s. Even if you weren't a football hooligan it was seen as part of the excitement. I don't remember it being frowned upon at all - it probably was by older fans I guess.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 9 hours ago, RebelScum said: The play 'The Firm' - the original, NOT THE REMAKE deals with it very well IMO. Directed by Alan Clarke and written by Al Hunter (an ex hooligan himself). The character Dominic comes across slightly inadequate throughout. At the end he is ranting to the TV people "it's about belonging". ...It's also worth a watch for the nasty guy in Murphy's Mob playing a copper and dealing with Benny from Grange Hill who has just been cut up... "come on the train from London did you?... Ah, hitch-hiked... And your name is (looks at statement), Michael Jackson... You're going to need some more plastic surgery Michael!" 😆 Filmed at the BBG and directed by Mikey Dolenz of The Monkees if memory serves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eargasm Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 4 hours ago, IslandExile said: Yeah, I was at that game. 3 players sent off for Newcastle and I think we only won one-nil. The time that sticks most in my mind was a game against Chelsea when all routes back to the bus station were closed off. Ran a lot of miles that day. Still, I suppose it helped keep you fit. We walloped them 4-1 they finished with 8 men on the pitch and Mc Dermott was sent from the dugout too, think that's what riled the Newcastle fans so much.

Still got to go home at some point and safety in numbers went down the stairs and got hit by a hail of bottles, my mate copped one and the shoulder and ended up in the nearest A and E for the night having to have his wounds stitched, his old man wasn't happy that he had to go down the next day to pick him up. The miners were largely from Ilkeston and worked at Babbington colliery or Moorgreen having transferred from the Derbyshire pits after they closed. My old man had worked with quite a few of them before deciding life underground wasn't for him. I know nothing and Ram-Alf 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I didn't see, KO was to busy knocking WHU fans back down the stairs like skittles on a bowling alley, If we hadn't have followed O'Reilly's orders...down town would have been out of bounds for some time, And a night at the Polish club on Charnwood St would have been a no go...as he and Phil Clarke were working the doors there. As I said...once the scores were even with the fans things went our way, Pretty sure WHU fans didn't expect Derby to have as much support who could give out more than they could take 👍 MadAmster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking through...I was jumping over the grave stones, I remember 1 grave stone...it said..."Here sleeps Alice who passed away at the pottery factory while falling asleep on her job, She really didn't give a f*** about work...rest in peace Alice you idle fu**er" born April 1798 died with a lump of clay on her head in May 1835.
