We did a good job, the NF were humiliated at the election in 79 and never recovered.

Thatcher won and the Tories were in power for 18 years.

Identity politics. Eurgh.
 
I'm thinking of starting a group called 'Football Fans Against Football Fans Who Are Against Things'. Who's in?

Seriously, when the fuck did football, the game of divers, leg-breaking tackles, greedy players & their agents, match-fixing, etc become society's moral beacon?

We are in deep shit if it is.
 
You really are as thick as people say. If you cant see the difference then I am staggered.

Without the right wing violence promulgated by the DFLA and EDL there would be no need to counter them. They exist and need to be opposed otherwise its just far right violence that wins the day and our club, and football overall becomes a breeding ground for racists and fascism. Do you just want to stand by and hope they go away? Because they wont unless they are opposed as we have seen throughout history.

Should we have let Moseley march through the East end of London, should we have allowed the NF free reign on the Kippax and just say its OK because there is no place for them. Do nothing and our club is at risk from the rise of the far right as every club is throughout the land. We don't have a problem as it stands but the problem is escalating and as a big club we will be seen as a breeding ground for their vitriol. Its the way they operate, they always have and always will.

All you need to do is take a peek at the Yaxley thread on here and you will see there is sympathy for his far right views. They are dressed up as populist measures but they are sinister and are working there way into our fanbase. If you don't see that as a problem then obviously im wasting my time here, but don't say you haven't been warned.

That is the biggest pile of misguided shit I have ever read.
 
Well I guess an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure as my Nan used to say so good luck with the group. Think the name could do with being a bit more punchy. I was on the fence with this but now after twelve pages of frothing hysteria I figured I’d pitch in with some moral support.

Can I suggest a name?

“The fucking got nothing better to do gang of Fanny’s?”

It’s also a game where players endorse good causes, put money into charities and endeavour to put money back into the communities they grow up in. This is also a fan initiative started by fans so not sure how the players ‘greedy’ or otherwise fit in.

On a wider point I get that people are annoyed by this or just want politics out of football (which to be honest is pretty much my take) but I don’t get why people are so annoyed they have become, in some cases, quite abusive over it. Some people have come back several times to give this a kicking. So what gives?

Football fans against every other thing other than football, at football

It hints (well, shouts tbf) at much darker and sinister things whilst hiding under (or taking advantage of) the blanket of football and community.
 
As a moderator you should facilitate debate not add your own misguided views.

If you don't understand the reasoning behind a thread it makes it even worse when you wade in spouting wildly inaccurate nonsense. Stay out of it and do your job.

I posted on the thread as a member of Bluemoon.

I did not in any way try to shut down the debate, i just gave my opinion.

Hardly surprising to see you as a shining example of the extreme left acting all fascist though in trying to silence me or anyone else that doesn't tow the party line.

What next Rascal? You send your firm round to my house to sort me out?

I wish I was prime minister - I would bring back hard labour for anyone left of centre. These oddballs like rascal and kowalski I would put them in stocks until they saw sense.

Ha, extreme left? Are you just making this shit up? When did opposing racist, small minded violent dickheads turn into 'extreme left'? I'd have thought most right thinking (normal) people would support any action designed to fuck off the neanderthal fla wankers and all other manner of violent racists.

Of course in society but attaching to city where there isn’t an issue is just daft.

How about normal working class lads are fed up about hearing about rape gangs? Why are they far right?

Could this not be a bit closer to the truth than just labelling everyone a Neanderthal. I would imagine somewhere between the two would be the truth.

Yep the extreme left and you are every bit as bad as those you despise.

I share your hatred of racists but im afraid i dont share your views that violence is the way to stop them.

Its telling that I've not seen one poster defending the extreme right on this thread, just myself and others saying that the group Rascal supports also have no place at our club or in football yet its brought the attack dogs out and its all because we wont tow the party line.

I'ts classic extreme left wing identity politics in play.

Violent wankers.
