I'm no hooligan but as far as protecting other City fans, fuckin right i do. Derby last January. 2 instances.
Number 1. Sit in 110, and the guy who sits in front of me had a small kid. 2 at a push. When coins and other shit was being thrown into our end i stood with my back to the away fans to help protect his kid. Better me getting a coin in the skull than the young lad.
Number 2. After leaving the same game, a group of MIBS forced down the fence at the bus park for away fans and charged at City fans resulting in 1 old male, roughly 70, tripping over and being on the floor. If it wasn't for myself and about another 6 City fans charging at a group of about 30 of these soft arse's that caLL themselves hooligans they'd have given the old bloke a kickin. Instead, outnumbering us 6/1 they backed off. Fuckin cowards they are.
Ricster you are my hero in my eyes mate for that. (I'd have done the same) After the same match i was walking with my daughter on the asda side of the road towards ashton old road, when a few lads jogged past us, one of them punched me in the jaw/eye and i'll admit i stumbled as i was absolutley not set up for it! (Now i'm really lucky that my daughter has seen all my old fight videos at my mam's and has seen me take shitloads of shots in sparring, when she was a kid.) The 'hard men' just kept on jogging, i turned to my daughter who cool as fuck says " dad i can't believe he knocked you over, i hit harder than that"! We both laughed it off, untill we came across the woman with her head split open on the main rd near the b of the bang.:0(
So yes the animals should be kept in, if all they can do is attack fathers with their daughters or launch stuff at women!
