Football Cops CH4 (Series 1 Ep 1-4)

[Stephen230]

There isnt

Well the plod in the programme said there was.

 

[Maintainin]

Never knew there were specialist football police. Well apart from the odd Chisolm type.

What the fuck do they do all week? And in the summer.

FIO/Football Intelligence Officers, hand held camcorders normally give most of em away, fuck knows bout intelligent lol

These two fuckin loved it...

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Coventry should have been relegated from Division One in season 1976-77 ,but due to some very dodgy decisions and questionable tactics by them,it was Sunderland who were actually relegated on the last day of the season,and Mackem fans are still whinging on about it almost 50 years later.
And Jimmy Hill was found guilty of cheating by starting the Coventry City vs Bristol City game 10 minutes late, due to alleged over crowding.

Cov were at home to Bristol City
Sunderland away at Everton
Both games played on a Thursday night.

Cov, Bristol and Sunderland all on the same points with Sunderland occupying the last relegation spot via a worse goal average (as it was back then)

Crowds outside cov can't get in before kick off and Hill (allegedly) gets the game delayed by 15 mins.
Cov 2 up but Bristol hit back to 2-2.
Sunderland game ends and have lost. If the score at Highfield Road stays the same then cov and Bristol are safe.

Jimmy Hill orders the Sunderland score to be flashed up on the scoreboard...... the last 10 mins becomes a farce as both teams refuse to attack amd just kicking the ball to another team mate across the field with the other team making no attempt to get the ball off them.....

Watched this last night.

These young lads are funny nowadays. Acting all hard with their hoods up ! Waiting for the police to protect them! Those dippers were only about 16.

The Sunderland fans having a fight with a fence! Ha ha.

Not sure why the footage of the Ipswich game. Hardly a difficult one to police that!

Good example of how things have changed since CCTV got popular.

Imagine a firm that size getting anywhere unnoticed these days? Never mind all the way to Old Kent Road from the other side of the river.

 

[journolud]

Watched the first epsiode, don't think I'll need to watch anymore as it will be more of the same, nobheads being nobheads, including some of our own.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Well the plod in the programme said there was.

Yes, thats one person and one job. Sorry thought you meant like the squads of coppers that work football matches

 

[Stephen230]

That is what was said in the programme. There was a whole bunch of them with slightly different uniforms. And one plod said…All those with the blue on their backs just do football and nothing else.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

This was a really good programme. The coppers featured all largely seemed alright, loved that they had a section on dealing with ticketless scouse rats and brought up the pot of coins that hit the young girl. Another was slagging United off in another clip. Enjoyable watch, they seem to have much better strategies for policing games nowadays.

They said they will be going over to the Euros in the Summer, imagine they pivot to doing other big crowd events like festivals aswell.
