Return Of Violence?

Featured Replies

It seems that violence and trouble at matches has been a lot more frequent this season. Is it all coming back

bollocks

has there?

nope

 

unrest is on the horizon but it won't be at the football

 

it all belongs in a time when every fan wasn't filmed for fun.

and where has this violence happened?

 

Unless, of course, you count running away from Stoke fans as violence.

That's a little unfair. The yoof were doing decent bit of gesturing, well before they shit it and scarpered.

I do apologise NB.

 

The hand gestures and giving it the big one for 90 mins before running may also be considered violence. :good:

Kicked off against Blackpool a bit. Wasn't at the Stoke game so can't comment. Wouldn't say it's coming back though, we're the stars of CCTV!

Unfortunately, violence is increasing in everyday life, football, rugby, nights out visiting another town are all vehicles for perpetrating these kind of actions, don't worry DH, another couple of years and you'll be enjoying it.

Correct. Next Generation FVs moved on, don't you know. It's all about the gesturing these days. Bring it on! :D

Looking hard is the new being hard.

Is that because of them Viagra eye drops?

Boom, boom! :thumbsup:

You set 'em up

To be fair, I'm yoofish too, so haven't had a glimps of FV from the past. But I'll be travelling up Monday and making a return to the ESL, so may catch sight of some modern stuff instead.

KP, in all honesty, if there are 2 folk who speak out of turn on Monday they will be in the minority of all minorities, personally, football does not matter, it is all about paying homage to Mr Lofthouse.

Well,I hope you know the words to "yer mum's yer dad, yer dad's yer mum........" It's a modern day yoof anthem for any occasion. :good:

 

 

 

P.S. There's still some owd f?ckers knocking about in the ESL. We may've be born before the Beatles split up but we're not ready for the West Stand yet!

I fully understand that mate, it was a bit tongue in cheek. In fact, Mr Lofthouse is the reason I am travelling up on Monday.

Good lad, you'll get your chance in time to come, the secret is to be aware of what is going on around you.

See as much as you can, listen to as much as you can and say nowt.

Oh I know it well NB, spent many of my Yoof days shaking my head in embarrassment at that song.

 

P.S. In that case, being 19, I shall stop referring to others as yoof :D

And some of them owd fuckers are younger than some of the owder fuckers in there :D

Only times you see it kicking off is at the NL games, lack of stewards, police, CCTV, its a rarity, but it does go on. A mass riot occurred at the Nuneaton v Telford game a few weeks ago, nothing reported in the mainline press, but getting loads on websites & local papers.

Never really been into trouble at footy but can think of four incidents when i have got into bother, or had to throw a punch.

 

First one was after the Bristol City game in '83? when we had a sit down protest on the car park and eventually got moved on by police. A shop window went through on Manny Rd and a copper grabbed me by the shoulder, as he thought it was me smashing the window. I was only about 14 at the time, and when I looked round, it turned out the copper was my Brother in Law, he told me to fuck off home pronto, which I did. To this day, I can't remember if I smashed that window or not.

 

Second one, away at Forest in the cup in the Nineties, we were last minute and ran to the home turnstiles thinking it was the away end, got told otherwise and turned round and started to run to the away end. Not sure how they knew I was Bolton but an oncoming Forest fan legged me up, whilst his mate cracked my ear with the wooden end of his brolly. I went down then stood up to fight before realising the others had not seen it, so got on my toes and legged it. I was deaf inthat ear for a couple of weeks.

 

Third one, Derby away 2003? when a load of Bolton hooligans turned out, and we sold out, got caught up in the fighting outside and had to twat a Bolton fan who was attacking me thinking I was a Derby fan. He went down like a sack of spuds. I don't feel guilty about that, because if you're just hitting random people, you deserve it. I've seen him at away games since but don't think he realises it was me.

 

Last one was this season after the Newcastle game, there was a young Geordie offering out Bolton fans coming out the ESL. I was bladdered and smacked him. If he had hit me back I would definitely have gone down., but him and his mate ran off. Just gobshites.
