Trouble in the North Stand second tier vs United

Sorry but only a complete cretin would put themselves in that posistion.

Honestly up and down the land at any game you are simply looking for bother if you celebrate in the home end but to do it in a derby game fook me
I agree with your sentiments.
The problem is "tourists" don't understand the situation they're in.
I reckon this happens all the time across big games World Wide - people with money buying tickets and not getting potential consequences
 
I buy match badges watching Wales but it’s a proper trip and a souvenir for a special occasion.

We don’t play Armenia or Azerbaijan enough to warrant any rivalry like Arsenal etc.
 
A,how did he get his ticket when match going blues for years couldn’t get one
B, No sympathy your not telling me he didn’t know he was in the wrong end with 1,000’s of city shirts around him
Everyone is pumped up derby day I’m sure it would have been the same if a half and half jumped up at the swamp if the boot was on the other foot
 
NFL fans mainly mix so they think it’s the same, I always tell them every away game in England is like cheering for the Giants or Cowboys away at the Philadelphia Eagles. At best your getting dogs abuse

That's what I thought. And if you get into any sort of a fight don't the police wade straight in?
I was at a Stanley Cup play-off in Montréal — “Habitants” versus New York Rangers. I got the distinct impression that the “Habs” are a pretty partisan crowd. A couple of fans making their way through the crowd on the concourse were wearing Rangers outfits, or at least tops. They got jeered at, but nothing serious. Of course, there's no segregation anyway.
 
Few years ago a rag got outed at the front of 211. Just lots of verbal abuse while being taken out by the dibble until a proper foc on the end of a row threw a punch at him. It Looked like he was being hit by the Simpsons Mr Burns. Excellent!
Dibble gave Mr Burns a bollocking but let him stay too.
You like American cartoons don't you ;-)

I can't emphasise this enough. I'm not excusing or exonerating anyone. The guy mentioned in the OP was a dickhead. No question.
But we've got to understand what we're dealing with here. Some of these guys — especially the Asians — are on package tours they've paid an arm and a leg for, to the U.K./Europe, they're kind of armchair telly football fans who've maybe never actually attended a real match in their lives, they get a gala match thrown in. They've got literally no idea what football culture is in the U.K., some of them. The tour operator procures the tickets. There's a whole chain involved. The club should pay more attention to this, but then, the club's a business, they probably get a rake-off, and hey, as we're constantly being told, China and Asia generally is the Next Big Thing in terms of markets for the Premier League, isn't it?
The kind of public we're getting is now all sorts. They should be educated, they should be informed. They should be warned. But what's second nature for a match-going fan in England and Europe of ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty years standing — we know the rules, we all know them, and we break them knowingly — is not particularly obvious to a charlie who's just rocked up because it's “cool” to say “I was at the Merseyside derby” or “I was at the Manchester—Trafford derby” to the folks back home.
I never attended a sports event when I lived in China, but I'd be very astonished if there's any sort of fighting, anywhere, ever. Because in that place, believe it, you don't just get a stadium ban.
I think the Americans get it a bit more, but even then, the sports culture is different. From what I saw of Latin America, the Latin Americans get it, I think — big time.
