Trouble in the North Stand second tier vs United

You would not do it any other country either, it's the height of stupidity and dangerous, it shouldn't be so but it is if you have to do it (as many of us including me) just keep your mouth shut
 
How many of you can honestly say you’d be happy to sit in the home end at Anfield on Sunday? I won’t even watch it out.

I have sat in the home end at Anfield a couple of times, across the aisle from Ian Rush and a few other high ups there. I managed to sit on my hands when we scored but they beat us! It was a while ago now but one of my friends had a season ticket there and couldn’t go so offered it to me.

I have sat in the away end many, many times though. Squashed up little place it is as well. :-) But preferred if to the home end!! I was with our crowd which is much better.

Some people like punching people. Doesn’t matter if it’s in a pub, at home or in the street.

This as an opportunity to give someone a smack. Simple as that.

Yeah - it’s usually just the knuckle draggers with fragile egos who need to prove how hard they are. It’s a bit pathetic really. Obviously the guy’s a fool for thinking he could celebrate in the home end but I doubt it warranted getting battered.

Reminds me of the Liverpool match earlier in the season. Liverpool fan got seriously assaulted for celebrating in SSL3. But what was worse was the bunch of cowards who were nowhere near the incident but who ran over to start raining punches and kicks down on a guy who was already incapacitated and completely outnumbered. Just so they could then go and play the big man and show off to their mates. It was shameful.
 
I just think it's a desperately sad comment on society that some people cannot tolerate sitting next to someone who supports a different team. Not quite the same within both codes of rugby.

In most other countries you can safely sit *almost* anywhere you want. My mate is from Portugal and he's a Sporting fan, his brother is a Benfica fan and both fans hate each other. But they'll go to those games together and sit next to each other. He found it really strange when i told him i couldn't get us tickets to watch City at Old Trafford and just sit in the rags section because we'd get battered. No issues with this guy getting verbals, he's taken a seat from a blue and got up an celebrated (prob didn't know but that's on him imo), but battering him is assault. CCTV should be pulling this dickheads up and reporting to the police, just because it's in a stadium during a game it doesn't mean you can batter someone. Fucking weirdos.

Went to a Hamburg v Werder Bremen game, which I was told would be a feisty affair, due to historical hatred over trading via their respective ports. Lots of groups having both sets of fans together.
The police operation outside the ground had water tanks and armed Coppers, but inside the stadium everything was fine...

I think there's probably parts of S.America you wouldn't want to sit in another part of the stadium but they would still have mixed zones i'm sure. I think it's also one of the reasons that the Ultras thing has never taken off here. I wonder whether it would actually be a better atmosphere if you just had parts of the stadium that were mixed for people who just want to watch the game and anyone can really go. Then really strict areas where its 'ultras' only who are there to make as much noise as possible. I don't know if its a good or bad thing myself, sometimes feels a bit manufactured when European clubs come over and do it at our place.

We went to Flamengo v Vasco da Gama last year in Rio, which is quite a tasty derby, where they often have trouble between fans. They have the areas behind each goal which are for the Ultras, but the stand along the pitch side was mixed. You had people from the same families supporting different teams sat next to each other.

True at Union have supported Ireland loudly at Murrayfield and Twickenham while being surrounded by home fans. At league not always the case, would no more have cheered Wigan in the Fletcher St than I would City in the Stretford End.

People from same family supporting different teams

No chance I would even acknowledge a family member if they were a Rag or a dipper
 
What sort of utter brain dead thug goes up to an obvious half-and-half tourist type and kicks off like that?!

Fair enough if it's some dyed in the wool rag who was in our end and kicked off themselves but some innocent tourist....get to fuck.

Hope they get a life ban. ****.

There's definitely an increase in the knobhead contingent in our fanbase post-covid, it's like some morons have forgotten how to behave in civil society.

I reported some twat for shouting racist abuse earlier this season and did the club give a shit? Did they fuck.

When football becomes so sanitised that all fans mix together in harmony it loses a lot of what makes the game so addictive.
Sure, we shouldn’t be punching people but it wouldn’t be an issue if they knew they shouldn’t be there in the first place.
