Corporal_Jones Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) The people gobbing off in the wrong end were asking for it. If theyre looking for trouble they can hardly complain about it when they get it. OS it seems you're probably more upset than they are. I know a Leeds fan who was in the Chaddy last night. He used to take me to Leeds in the Champs League. I know for a fact he wouldn't have made a noise last night and thus didn't get in any trouble. I have sat in the away end at Blackpool and known not to say anything. And as hard as that can be at times it is the number 1 rule. It comes to something when you can't say anything even in the away end at Blackpool. Political correctness gone mad.

oafcprozac Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) I'm just saying it as I see it. I'm sure there are plenty of ways one can try to have a positive impact on the eradication of the mindless violent minority that spoil the game for the others, it seems that you are more of an activist for the good of the game - well smashing, I tip my hat. Seriously. Unfortunately I fall into the despondant "I've had a belly full now of the whole kaboodle" category, been like that for a few years for one reason or another. This topic is just one of the reasons. Good luck. I know footie fans can be numpties but What was with all the police at Knowsley Road last Friday night and a portable metal detecting gate outside a pub? When Leeds beat us at OT in 2007 there were Saints 'fans' kicking off all over the place! Oh and me and the missus witnessed a cracking punch-up between RL 'fans' outside of Yates' prior to last season's Grand Final, add alcohol to highly charged game and no matter what the sport is trouble will ensue imo, it's just footie is the sport of choice innit?

Only last year I had my Lyon throwback shirt on and a Bradford supporter came over to me outside this boozer and I chatted with him and his mates about Jamie Lyon and whatnot. No bother.

I think it does seem to be creeping in though, we live in different times when people increasingly have little or no respect for their common man. It's even appearing on the field more and more - back chat to the ref etc... something Rugby players have always been lauded for - their ability to get on with the game without whining about decsions to the ref. Although in that knobs case last Friday i'll make an exception...RL or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not someone who will ever condone football violence. The worrying rumour on the other thread shows what can happen when these numpties go too far. On this thread, people are very quick to criticise the Oldham fans for kicking off as a Leeds fan (in particular Main Stand upper) was being kicked out. There are two points that I think haven't been raised: 1. He hardly went quietly. He stood at the top of the steps, appearing to make w****r signs from where I was stood. 2. It really was handbags at ten paces. There were plenty of people who walked to the end of the aisles and came down from the back to give him a piece of their mind but to condemn people in the same way those at Stockport reacted I think is wrong. Many of us have seen the You Tube video of the violence at Stockport. This was more like two guys trading handbagts at best. I really do think we should move on before this gets blown all out of propotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know,tight Yorkies taking tinnies in a pub sounds about right though I was only at the traffic lights a couple of minutes so didnt have long to have a gander,funnily enough thought the same as you - it was all a bit strange Broke up the boredom of sitting at the lights, found myself thinking damn could have stayed on Red for a couple of more minutes Edited March 3, 2009 by oa_exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stalybridgelatic Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Let's hold our horses. It will never change? Well unless we decide to change it. I'm sick of being treated like a second class citizen. You see someone commiting a crime. Sure as hell report it, or we will continue to be treated like scum. We've got to sort this from the inside. Here Here............. now lets march. Get your banners girls. FFS, you will be replacing the Shergar Burger vans with Pink Candyfloss Kiosks next. There would also be a smell of spring flowers in the air around the ground instead of the usual smell of horse:censored:e and greasy hotdogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millsy82 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 All I'll add to is, if would you walk through Moss Side or North London or St Helens (Nottingham) or Compton, Los Angales or Helmend Province (Afghan) would you not expect a bit of aggro. If you pre-meditate come into the home end as an away fan you have to be prepared that some people are going to take an exception to you being there. That is called human nature and unfortuatley it's here to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellysheroes Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 On a proper note this is now at the attention of Oldham/Alan. If the CCTV backs this up, can we give names and have these idiots banned? I really would hate for our, what is very (with the help of the Ernie Flag, etc) good name tarnished. You ask about the best away days and we are up ther with Brentford and Hereford. Let us not change this. k*** head fancy telling oldham/alan what happened its football like he said if someone comes in thinking there it there going to get a smack, it would hapen anywhere in the country like a little kid..... munmmy he stole my sweets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not people attempting to beat someone up. Anyone that thinks it is acceptable to commit a crime in the name of their football team is a complete loser.

daznathe Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 good name lol. ive no problems with leeds fans in our stands, oafc0000 will remeber well how we massively disagreed on me sitting in the stockport end. BUT if they jump up and cheer the gol, they run their own risk. if they get away with it they are lucky, if they get a smack then they deserve it. im going to city versus villa tonight, and i 100% want villa to win, primarily for fantasy football reasons!! but im not going to cheer, as im watching the game as a 'neutral' no doubt the same as some leeds fans did on tuesday. they sat on their hands when they scored and didnt get a smack, doesnt mean they didnt enjoy the gol though.
