Huh????

You're joking, please tell me it's not okay for a young child to be attacked by a full-grown adult, for wearing the wrong clothes.

Maybe i missed something here?

Not one of mine thankfully Iain. :) If one of mine got gang involved they would have more to worry about than other gang members. Their mother on the warpath is more than likely a far scarier prospect for them..lol :D

I don't say it's "ok" just that it's usual and that the parents should have been attentive; red flag to a bull and all that.

Besides, I dont think hooliganism at a game has been a big issue for more than 10 years now, although there is friction associted with it for sure, but the same thing happens here with US football, or even the violence in Edmonton over the hockey.

There are arseholes all over this planet, moving doesnt change that.

PS Dingbat, Im assuming thats a work related kid, not one of your own. Still, what a thing to happen.

In Edinburgh/Scotland if yes where?

Emma :(

To quote several Football Managers (and commentators) Football is not a matter of Life and Death...........its much more important than that.

Cynic that I am:
1) why did the kid not have any visible injuries?
2) why did the father not have any visible injuries?
3) where were the witnesses?

Sadly there are more than one schools of thought that support that premise. (Rape victims were asking for it, not that dbd agrees)

NOPE

Rape victims do NOT ask for it (IMO). However society can do a damn sight more to protect women (and increasingly men) from sexual predators and attackers.

On that basis..... I better ask my 6 year old to get his England shirt off as were no longer living in England.

Would not want to be branded as a derelict parent :rolleyes:
