[Impeccable One]

Leeds call them dog botherers and that in a nutshell says all you need to know.

No chance of that they'd have got leathered. They were kept in then either bussed out or to Piccadilly to get the train back under a huge police escort. I think the police stopped walking them back due to them constantly coming under attack. Any rogue ones kept their fucking heads down and prayed nobody sussed them.

These days we are all sixty plus, older, wiser and not as fit as we used to be. We are also well aware if we did decide to get stuck in that with everyone filming it we'd soon be nicked and banned. Take that incident on the tram, it's all over the internet. I'm sure eventually they'll get the culprit. None of us wants to be banned now we've got a great team winning trophies. In the old days being banned would have been a bonus lol. I have to admit the old hackles still rise when I see opposition fans taking liberties and it takes me repeating everything I've written here in my head to stop me getting stuck into them.

You're absolutely right, but it's the same at most stadiums now.

I'm not sure if they have an arrangement with all visiting supporters, but the Arkles Pub near Anfield now welcomes coachloads of City fans whenever we play at Goodison Park.

It was great the other week, but imagine that arrangement before the FA Cup Quarter Final in 81 and then having to walk through Stanley Park.

One of the rare exceptions is probably old Trafford which still feels a bit old-school when you're walking from the cricket ground to the backdrop of anti-City songs from the nearby pubs

84% possession - got to be one if not the highest of any game. Think they got the balance in taking the centres kicking off !

Same here Paul!

A couple of seasons ago I took a mate, a well-known face from Maine Rd days, who hasn't been for years due to run-ins with the law.

He couldn't believe the away fans (Spurs on this occasion), fronting people up, shouting the odds, etc.

He's not been again since. Just goes to rugby now with his wife and family.

Think for the big games against old rivals, we're no pushovers, but games such as yesterday's, the reasons you've stated definitely have an influence on proceedings.

It's a big day out for clubs like them and as such it attracts loads of wankers who'd never normally step foot inside a football stadium. It's their cup final and gives them 90 minutes in the spotlight for once. Look at Gillingham in 1999, they were getting under ten thousand fans but sold out over forty thousand tickets for Wembley. Add on that ridiculous Yaaaaawkshire pride chip on their shoulders and it's a powder keg for trouble.

Always found Huddersfield fans sound on many trips to Leeds Road and McCalpine etc. I was surprised the scumbag count was so high. Thought they were worse than Leeds who at least get behind their team.

Does anybody know how the lad who got hurt on the tram is?
Hope he's ok..looked really nasty ..hope the police catch the cunts who attacked him.

That boiled my piss when I watched that yesterday, but I’ve seen a video today of him laughing it off so he’s fine. A story to tell when he’s older I suppose and probably a scar for life.

 

[mike1923]

The usual hilarious where were you when you were shit chants are especially ironic coming from them

Think they set a new stadium record last time we went to their shithole. Wonder how many they’ll take away next week when they’re not playing a big club

Glad that he's ok..cheers for that mate
Hope the **** that did it gets put away preferably in Strangeways.. he might get a bit of comeuppance in there.

Stan Collymore says ok Roy.

I live close to Udders and have got a lot of sympathy for them. They've been through some right shite over the last few years and their attendances are still decent for such a small town. OK they have some dickheads, we all do, but fair dues to them still sticking with their club. I remember feeling summat similar when we were shite. Let's not forget where we've come from.
