Oh how wrong you are. Hooliganism is still very active, it's just that the Police are making it harder and the hooligans are going to more lengths to have their fights.
Plus it is not reported like it used to be. City V Stoke last year and it was kicking off all over Beswick, Bradford and Town. Nothing got mentioned in the press.
Burnley are always up for it, Huddersfield have a little crew still, Rochdale Bury to name but a few. Nowadays they seem to go under the name of the edl, but the majority of them are fotball hooligans.
All scum in my opinion whichever club the show their allegience to.
have to disaagree with innocent people don't get caught up in it. Tell that to the parents of the very small child that had it's ribs broken when a thug used the baby to rest his hand on whist kicking someone who was out on the floor. That happened at the doorway to Debenhams in Manchester, England match I think. It's been quoted on here that the mib are all to ready to attack innocent parties. It's nothing more than a romantic notion that there are no injuries to innocents, as if to justify hooliganism.Young_TomO said:Breadsnapper said:Oh how wrong you are.

have to say what you put there is almost spot on, Most firms in the country are active, like ive said numerous times on this forum, if you dont see it, doesnt mean its not there.
Now for you to say Football firms go under 1 name the EDL, is aload of bollocks. Yes the EDL does have different football mobs going to it, and thankfully majority of the time they dont clash with one another, although there has been times when 'firms' have ended up fighting with one another. United attacking anyone at the Manchester EDL, Walsall/wolves/rochdale/stockport fighting with one another at the Stoke EDL. the one in Lesicter (dunno how to spell it) and leeds had clashes with other football mobs.
If people want to fight at the football then so be it, its up to them, and 90% of the time innocent people DONT get caught up in it. People make out Football hooligans are worse than Paedophiles & Rapists.
Funnily enough, football Hooliganism is treated 2nd by what the police check.
1.) Terrorism
2.) Football Violence
3.) Murder
4.) Rape.
Gooday

Said it before and i will say it again, the majority of these mindless scumbags are shit houses, only able to flex their muscles with a crew behind them. Run like cockroaches caught in the light when the dibble turn up. Stupidly believing that they are part of a brotherhood with honour. Supposed men who should know better, encouraging young kids to run with them.
They are of no value to society what so ever and are a virus embedded in the game of football.
I'd stick them in Afghanistan clearing mines. "Right lads just walk across that field over there"

If you really think M.I.B are only attacking women and kids then you need to give your head a shake. FFS - think you need to talk to a few of City's "Lads" post the last two semi final games and what their real thoughts were post what happened those nights and more recent events between Utd and Rangers where some City got involved.
Personally, not my thing and prefer a beer after and the banter about winding each other up but i know lads actively involved.
Agree with your point about football violence being 2nd only to terrorism though. Fans are treated like shit by the old bill regardless of guilt or blame and it must be the only spectator event where you are guilty until you can prove your innocence...an absolute joke

I always enjoy the paradox of the usual gobshites moaning about how boring football is now and how we're treated like scum yet the same self toss balls usually glorify hooligans and the like.

deary me, some people may get caught up. Ask a football lad if you know one, ask him what he says about 'who' they like to go after.
Not defending them, but you make out like there worst than a sex offender
