West Ham and Millwall hoolies in "worst hooliganism for 30 years"

[upsidedownwalrus]

Why was so little made of ?

Why were people not screaming blue murder at Fulham and demanding they be docked league points?

There are people fighting on the pitch for heaven's sake, rather than running around like the guy from the tango adverts.

In case anyone is still trying to analyse Tuesday's events, Neil Harris has it spot on:

I've played in these games before and know what it is all about, big local derbies and red-hot atmospheres.

They are terrific games to play in and that is why you play football. It means so much to the supporters of both clubs but sometimes they get a little bit over-zealous.

That's it, in a nutshell.

Still doesn't justify someone getting stabbed/ the pictures i've seen of it.

I'm only talking about what happened inside the stadium, the video from the fulham-Chelsea game is far worse, how come people weren't demanding sanctions against Fulham for that?

I was replying to STFC, sorry, should've quoted.

Who said anything about justifying it?

Just sounded like you were saying violence is ok.

Beyond the violence I feel sorry for people who are involved in this. What kind of small, empty, shallow world must you live in when commiting acts of violence against another human being is some form of enjoyment?

Exactly.

Do you think that's what Neil Harris was saying? Because all I did was agree with his comments.

When i first read it, yeah. No worries, just interpreted it differently.

what limp wristed apologism.

there seems to a situation where both the knee jerk media and the 'boys will be boys' crowd are deliberately conflating the silly antics inside the ground with the far more serious issues outside it.

as much as I might find the sight of a fat middle aged bloke running across the pitch with his top off all a bit cringey it can hardly be compared to someone getting stabbed.

Spot on.

It's been confirmed that the stabbed man is a Millwall supporter, a scarfer who was with his sons when he was stabbed in the chest by the hammers "fans".

And so it goes on and on and on....
