Old hoolies go on rampage in Coventry

[chico enrico]

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

apart perhaps from the six (or is it eight?) folk killed by Polish football hoolies in the past few years?

still, suppose if you're a big ugly square headed lunk who wears shit trainers and you're surrounded by hot chicks wearing those jeans with no pockets on the ass everywhere you look you've got to get the tetosterone out somehow

i hadn't heard about them to be honest, as i said earlier not calling them gents, or even defending them, just that compared to our lot they do actually want to have a fight, it is not how i would want to spend my time though

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

Don't get me wrong, I know some people do take it seriously, but the way these eastern Europeans go about it is completely different. I still maintain that football violence, for the most part, is a laugh. Who wants to be meeting in the middle of a forest, you can't get a pint there can you?

maybe you are right, it is just that the way i see it, if you want to fight someone then go and find someone else who wants to fight you, that is what these fellas seem to do, i am not defending or knocking them, my attitude is if two people really want to fight each other then i am not going to try and stop them, it is just when they fuck things up for the rest of us as has happened in the past

I can see where you're coming from, but I can't get my head round why they take things to such extremes. Maybe they've still got an Eastern Bloc mentality and they feel everything has to be highly organised. Believe me, it's very strange to be approached by a bloke in Moscow who asks you to go and get "ten of your best fighters to meet ten of our best fighters".

Don't get me wrong, getting battered is no laughing matter, and there is a lot of bollocks talked about "we only do it to our own" as if it's the fucking Kray twins or something. Far too many people have been caught in the wrong place at the wrong time for that argument to hold water. And when I say it's a laugh, I don't mean it literally, like everyone's too busy pissing themselves to throw a punch, I mean it's fun, enjoyable. Otherwise why does it still go on, with the sort of penalties dished out? It must be that mythical 'buzz' people go on about.
