last nights football violence....

[CFH]

I like rivalry a lot. But in a playful way; I am a huge Boston Bruins fan and the Habs (Montreal Canadians for those not acquainted with hockey) are my #2 BUT... where I live, close to Montreal and especially to the french canadians, Montreal is almost a religion sometimes but at least, my friends, even the die hard fans are very friendly and we use our rivalry to tease each others and have fun (and god knows that the rivalry Boston-Mtl is HUGE).
After all, if the Montreal fans would disappear, there would be something missing and the opposite too, fans should understand that their "worst ennemies" are somehow their very best friends as they color their game and give a particular taste to their sport, I will never understand those fighting for a game, something that should be only entertainment.

I'm tentatively scheduled to go to Montreal next summer. I am intending to wear my Bruins hat the entire time and to mention Milan Lucic as many times as possible. I'm a Canucks fan first, but the Bruins and the Red Wings were my teams growing up, so they're 2a and 2b.

As a West Ham fan, I found that a complete embarassment, many of both sets of fans disgracing themselves, with the Millwall fans giving our players monkey chants, although I can say from experience that the home stand is far from a hub of racial equality.

Rushing onto the pitch in celebration AT THE END would of been understandable. Doing it during the game & trying to get onto the pitch to get at the Millwall fans was stupid & will damage the club financially no doubt, something we can definitely do without out.

What happened last night was not 'passion in the game', that's still there at every home game, what it was was a bunch of dickheads trying to show that they're 'still young/hard/up for it' or some other Danny Dyer-esque bollocks. As for the stuff goin on outside, well... fuck it... what can you say they're twats.

Although like hth says everyone knew it was going to happen, yet somehow the police still seemed ill-prepared & why they didn't prepare for a pitch invasion when we got the penalty I don't know

I would like to point out Jack Collison who was an image of pure class among the fat-bellied drunken dicks stumbling onto the pitch. On Sunday, his father died in a traffic accident on his way to see him play against Spurs, yet last night he put in a man of the match performance & also was key in getting fans to leave the pitch & go back to their seats. In a sea of idiots embarassing the club, at least he made me proud to support the club.

Jack Collison is the complete exception in this modern day world we live in. Not 48 hours after finding out his dad had been killed coming to watch him play and he throws on a west ham shirt when everyone would of fully understood him taking time out just shows the class of this fella. Young, hardworking, determained footballer - thats the west ham way

For what its worth i was one of the thousands booing the idiocy of those twats that chose to run onto the pitch and hope to god they all get life bans for being so stupid and bringing the club into disrepute.

The football club will be the biggest losers in all this and that guts me as we are potless as it is and will no doubt have to play a game or two behind closed doors costing the club millions. But the violence outside last night was years of pent up anger that spilled onto the streets and it should of been dealt with much better than it was!!

Sad fact of life that a few always spoil it. This again puts in jeopary Englands chances of hosting the big events. I have mate who support both teams involved and they are all good lads, pity they end up all being branded the same. You'd think that every fan was involved in it the way it gets covered.

As a Celtic Fan I know what it's like to get caught up in all of this shite.

Too true mate

it doesnt help when youve got old bill throwing you in with the ones who are fighting and smashing you with batons for no particular reason believing by doing this it`ll deter you from fighting

No problems whatsoever with organised violence, if 2 sets of supporters wanna kill eachother thats perfectly fine.

But what i saw on tuesday was far beyond that. A girl getting a glass smashed over her head just for wearing a millwall shirt. Fella initmidating supporters while his 3 year old boy looks on. Innocent bystanders leaving the scene of the crime having been pelted with bricks or tins of lager not to mention endless smashed up buses, cars etc

If you were in and around green street inparticularly outside the station around 6pm you would of witnessed something quite surreal and ive certainly never been apart of anything quite as large scale as that was!!

Was at upton park last night to witness this supposed worst bit of football hooliganism in years and havent enjoyed myself so much at a game of footie in years.

West ham-millwall is without doubt one of if not the most volatile games of football in the world. Celtic-rangers, united-city, real-barca all these sides get to play eachother on numerous occasions year in year out but with west ham and millwall it was a very special one off occasion that everyone but everyone who knew about the 2 clubs knew it was going to be a chaotic night off the pitch.

Millwall spent months telling everyone how they were going to turn over east london and when they arrived were simply stunned to see even they were outnumbered heavily. The old guard went down with a fight and took a beating while the young pikey chavs that ruin british culture simply froze at the prospect of doing what they said they were going to do and to put it mildly spent the evening protected by the police.

Dont condone football violence one bit but to see these muppets getting what was coming to them was a pleasure to see and though no doubt west ham will suffer badly because of this its great to see the passion is still in the game

I get the impression that you're ok with this sort of thing from reading this post. The police should have been better prepared but at the end of the day how the fuck do you deal with 100o's of football hooligans on heat?

It' got fuck all to do with passion in the game. It's thick 40/50 year old idiots wanting be part of some gang mentalilty while losely using the football rivalry as an excuse to exercise their personal inadequencies. Then it catches on with the muppets who've just watched Green Street and think Danny Dyer is 'well fackin hard bruv'

It's cringeworthy. Everyone of them should be locked up. Fucking men with families agreeing to meet up with other men outside a football stadium to have a fight because they support a rival team. What a load of shite. They all need to give their head a wobble and i suggest you do to if you think what happened on tuesday night has anything to do with 'passion for the game'

Never really liked football only ever watched it, to see if we win the world cup but i know we never will. Footballers get so over payed its ridiculous, 100k a week for kicking a ball are you kidding me ? and the hooligans make me piss myself laughing.

Yeah, that's it let's send these braindeads off to another country to shoot Iraqis or Afghans. Let's make them their problem, rather than locking them up

[Andre]

Its amazing what lengths some people will go to to get rid of their frustrations onto another group of beings over some triviality like team sport or where their parents chose to live, fuk and have a child there and then be against all them for it .

Then to be able to sit at home in a false glow and say we won which makes us better than them ,which must make us right and them wrong is a massive catch 22 and really says allot for upbringing,testosterone and alcohol as an outward and inner mixture of continued irritability.





















cheers biggy ears.
