Old hoolies go on rampage in Coventry

[revol68]

everybody gets their entertainment in different ways - there is nothing wrong with fighting including consenting adults - its the unconsenting onlookers who are the problem. They need a life of their own, they have clearly nothing to do apart from making themselves feel superior by condemning others behaviour.

You don't actualy buy into that romanticised shite about football hooligans only fighting other willing participants and the like do you?

And what about the weapons, you going to let people start having knife fights, why not guns?

If you know anything about violence you also know that any fight can kill you, weaponry is a red herring

You are confusing different types of people and events. Yes there are those who like hitting people, such as you revol, and there are others who do organise violence illicitly, who do things with some honour.

Don't stress yourself out my dear, your holier than thou origins are coming out again

There is no holy grail out there, the 'correct line' is an illusion and can never be created in advance...

 

[revol68]

you really are fucking mental aren't you?

 

[The Black Hand]

Really? It seems that rational discussion of violence is most urgent and needed, yet you have a problem coping with the ramifications of such a debate. It is not my problem that you cannot cope with the realities of the situation.

Silly thing to do, caught on CCTV, watch out for dawn raids in East & west Midlands in the next couple of months. Some middle aged men, who should know better, could be facing some heavy sentencing. The Maze Hill seven received sentences as long as seven years for the Charlton v Southampton meet.

Fair comment.

Are you coming to the London bookfair this year?

 

[Deareg]

No need for moral outrage - men have been fighting for thousands of years. Get over it.

it has nothing to do with morals, as far as i am concerned anyway, the thing is most of them don't do any fighting, they jump around waving their arms up and down like fucking chimpanzees, and calling on each other to come on then, or as in this case, throw missiles at each other,it is usually the unfortunate fuckers who only want to go and watch the game who get jumped and beaten up or shoppers caught in the cross-fire, if they want to actually do any fighting with like minded individuals let them, they manage to find secluded spots in poland, russia and germany where they won't be disturbed by the police, this is because they really do want to fight each other unlike most of the english hooligans.

a threat from barking trev, do i laugh or cry, once upon a time I used to get proper threats now I'm reduced to this, it's fucking depressing.

Don't be silly. That's not a threat. I would genuinely like to talk to you.

You should refrain from insulting to readily then, its when you cannot be bothered to think or investigate further that you come out with rubbish... again its called growing up.

Earlsdon is a busy high street, and fairly classy for Cov's standards. I dont know why they staged it there, its miles from the ground - the only reason I can think of is there's plenty of pubs. The other thing is theres loads of families and old people who would be there in the day time, its a fucking disgrace they didnt arrange this away from normal people.

 

[Fuzzy]

my wife is living just round the corner from the pub that they were all in when it kicked off. funnily enough said pub (city arms) is the shittest weatherspoons i've ever been in and thats saying something for a weatherspoons.

Oh no. The one in Coventry town centre is worse - full of dole scroungers, scumbags, weirdos and old men that smell of piss

I once got dragged out of there through a window by a copper

i've only been in that one once. the one in earlsdon only ever has one person behind the bar say on a saturday lunch time and every one queues up in a line along the bar to get served. very strange and wow betide anyone who isnt familiar coming in and going to the bar as you would in any normal pub. que massive amounts of tutting.

sounds like your average weatherspoons then.

The fucking Baby Squad

Who the fuck would name a firm 'The Baby Squad'?!

I remember those twats from when I used to steward at Filbert Street.

 

[chico enrico]

it's just a bit of fun.

 

[chico enrico]

And what about the weapons, you going to let people start having knife fights, why not guns?

bullets flying everywhere could endanger the spectators, whereas if it was just knives, hammers etc. poviding he 'grounds' were secure enough i can't see anything wrong with it.
sure it'd be pretty popular, and if the events were held on fotball pitches surely the clubs could use the revenue gnerated to improve their grounds and facililities, thus attracting more 'family' season ticket holders?

 

[Harold Hill]

i would love to see how they would react if they met up with some of those polish or russian firms and no police around

Don't think the Poles or Russians are any different.

 

[Harold Hill]

Now that was ridiculous. The trots had plenty to say about unfair sentencing with the Bradford riots yet are silent (to my knowledge) on stuff like this. They know what they're getting into so have no sympathy but its funny how ott sentencing is alright for some people and not for others.

And I can't believe the media aren't bored of reporting this kind of thing after over 30 years. Who can forget Piers Morgan and the Daily Mirror - one one hand we try to understand terrorists who might want to myrder us and on the other jail Birmingham City fans who run on the pitch and call the Villa keeper a wanker.

 

[Deareg]

that is the point i am making, they are diferent, try google for some of the fights that they have filmed of themselves, they meet up in secluded woods, arrange equal numbers, no weapons, when an opponent is knocked out or throws his hands up they are out of the fight, and when one side concedes defeat they all shake hands and go their merry way, not like the wankers that we have to put up with

IME Polish fans also fight at the matches, outside the grounds etc just like British fans used to.

 

[Yossarian]

you really are fucking mental aren't you?

Nah, he's just from Sunderland - someday word's going to get through to that town that the '70s are over.

 

[Deareg]

you are right about that, what i meant is that they do actually fight each other unlike of most of the wankers we have to put up with who just jump up and down in the streets, beat up ordinary supporters or throw things at each other. i am not saying the poles are gentlemen but from what little i know they don't target scarfers and as i said they do actually get into each other, frankly our lot are a fucking embarrassment

 

[Giles]

They've been raping, pillaging and fighting their masters war for just as long too, hardly makes it defensible.

Anyway I wouldn't say i'm morally outraged, just find it sad and pathetic that some ole eejits can't get over their nostalgia, like those 40 something bank managers all going mad for Led Zeppelin tickets.

I am more prepared to let people off for still liking bands that they liked 20 years ago.

But the thought of a bunch of 50 year old hooligans still turning up for an organised ruck just sounds a bit silly.

I wonder if they arranged for St John Ambulance to be standing by in case of hernias, angina attacks, etc?

Giles..

In my opinion these forest fights are just weird. They (the Poles, Russians etc.) take it all far too seriously, whereas over here for the most part it's a bit of a giggle.

have to disagree with you, their have been to many stabbings and innocent fans getting beaten up, too many cities abroad wrecked, not to mention heysel, for it ever to have been considered a giggle, i have known quite a few city and united hooligans over the years a met a few of the london ones when i worked down their, plus attending games myself, none of them were in it for a giggle either, at least the poles have the balls to face up to each other with even numbers and no chance of the police to break it up or scarfers and shoppers getting caught up in it

 

[Yossarian]

I think it's seriously weird for any adult to have nothing better to do with their time than arrange meetups with other men for fights and use football for an excuse - they've clearly got some sublimated homo-erotic urges to get out of their systems, and I thought that's what rugby was invented for.
