I'm banned for life from Barkingside FC for accusing a linesman of deliberately spilling my Orangeade.
Have you ever willingly participated in Football violence/hooliganism?

On a bit of break...
I was involved in a pitch invasion at Griffin Park in the 1970s after a Brentford/Tranmere Rovers game when Brentford got into the third division by dint of winning the match. There was an announcement over the tannoy requesting all policemen to get off the pitch...that's the closest I got to being a hoolie.

I had a lot of run ins wit older kids who claimed to be ICF. Just one of the pitfalls of an Ilford youth. Cunts, they were.

Yep. And I'm West Ham. I don't mind a bit of a ruck, if it's all friendly and consensual, but cunts will be cunts.

Never been even remotely involved in any violence, but I am nonetheless banned from Brisbane Road. I was thrown out for calling the ref a "twat". Well, to be accurate that is what I did, and not what the steward claimed I did.
Cunts. We'd had half an hour of constant obscene abuse from the home fans. I yell "twat" and get ejected from the ground and banned. Makes it very clear what Orient mean by a "family club". "If you aren't in the family you can fuck off".

Banned from St James' Park for setting fireworks off at Arsenal fans, I was only 14 mind.
I remember legging it like a bastard around Maine Road getting chased off (what appeared to be hundreds of) stone throwing city fans, we had been giving it large the whole game standing on the dividing wall (which was a nil-nil bore), and got spotted outside as we made our way past the burger vans (didn't help with my mate still wearing his black and white scarf). This would of been around 86/87 (we were still at school).

I find it amusing that, given the fact that the majority of people on this yur thread have reported some degree of violence in their football-following careers, the thread last year regarding hoolie twats on the train was howled down by large sections of the U75 sports crowd. Could it be that, on the evidence presented, football is just as violent as the thread made it out to be?

^ This.
I don't doubt a fair amount of pre-arranged & casual fighting between willing individuals occur. But for what I've seen many if not most of those individuals will also rip into people who clearly aren't looking for trouble- and sometimes who hadn't even been to the game in question and were just in the wrong place at the wrong times. Not to mention shopkeepers, bar staff, etc.
All this 'tough but fair' talk is bullshit IMO.

firstly, the reaction and outrage shown in the media over tuesdays riots, shows exactly how rare instances of violence at football matches is. secondly, football is not as violent as the thread made it out to be, although some of the middle aged hooligans who enjoy this kind of stuff can be sometimes.
no.
got caught up in the organised elements outside Central Station, Glasgow after the Scotland - England playoff in 1999 (by chance) as the police moved in and been near to a one or two outbreaks here and there since but truth is that most actual casual stuff with my club (hibs) is done quite far from the ground these days away from numbers and police presence
can definitely see the attraction of some of it, even being close by is great for adrenalin but the reality of the actual violence (when it does actually occur not the pavement dancing) is not something i am remotely interested in jumping in for without a very good reason.
the toe to toe back and forth dancing stuff or crowd jostling is one thing but the reality is there are plenty genuine psychopath nutters (eg the knife cunt on Tuesday) in there amongst the posturing lads who are just in it for a laugh and cameraderie

But we've all been going for years, some on here were going before I was born, and it's definitely not as bad now as it used to be. My 'heyday', if you like, was from the mid-90s to about 2001. I'm not saying I was big time or anything, because I wasn't, but it was definitely more lively then than it is now, especially England away. Even if you didn't get involved you would see violent incidents on a regular basis. It still happens, it's never gone away completely, but the average football fan is less likely to get caught up in something these days.
Organised? Hardly! We got kicked off the double decker buses about half a mile from central station and it was complete chaos. It was impossible to tell who was who until they spoke, in those days of regulation Stone Island and Burberry or Aquascutum uniforms!
No, alas not. Have been going to football every week since 1975 and haven't witnessed any violence since about 1999. Which is a shame.
the people i ended up with were there for a reason is what i meant, they themselves were organised - organised as in not there by chance

I remember going up to Crewe for a daft midweek cup game sometime in the late 70s - a minibus load of us. I have no idea why we did it now.
In the pre-match warm up a ball came into the terrace behind the goal and I caught it and kept it. We'd had a few drinks and it was like a holiday really, anyway a plan was hatched to get on the pitch at half time and have a kick around. This we did.
Because I had the ball I got to start things off and decided I wanted to take a penalty. We got loads of cheers from the packed Tottenhham end (not the biggest Stand) as we got on the pitch, my mate went in goal and I put the ball on the spot. It felt like the whole end went up in the air as the ball hit the net - wow, I mean really wow. Maybe it was the surprise as much as anything but it really stands out in my mind.
Nowadays I watch non-league most of the time and I doubt the players at this level will ever see that kind of response! Excellent.
Only downside was everyone except me got nicked and had to do another overnight trip up north for their court appearance. Can't remember the offence, one of those knee-jerk politcal responses to the hooliganism problem I think.
I have to say, it's a hell of a feeling when the crowd respond like that.

I was at that game and in a nutshell you were more likely to find English firms figting each other than fighting Scots - other than Aberdeen, Dundee, partick, you didn't hear of many about.
There was an escort to HP that must have touched about a 1000 that day. You don't get that anymore.
