It's sad, I do remember those day, and I really dont get why fans dont get along, its still just a game after all.

I went to the Liverpool Porto game in Toronto a few years ago and it was mixed seating!...the atmosphere and the banter back and forth was better than the last premiership game I went to, but maybe that cos You could have a beer or two during the game... I cant imagine that not being terribly abused in the UK.

Then again, things are perhaps a little better now than they were at the worst of the hooliganism era. But, if you treat fans in the stadiums like they are going to fight and keep them seperate, maybe they get conditioned to the idea that they should behave like that...

Try being a Swansea fan with Cardiff fan's about !!!

Its the case now where Cardiff fans turn up at Welsh matches wearing their blue tops looking for Swansea fans to batter.. Idiotic thugs most of them!

I don't suppose this is any more 'off topic' than some of the other posts but last night I had this dream.

England v Germany.

A long ball forward finds a couple of Germans coming back from offside positions. One of them lets the ball go past him knowing he’s off. But the one who was even more offside gets the ball. Astoundingly, the ref plays on.

Even more astoundingly, the German collecting the pass and now moving forwards with just the keeper between him and the goal is the team doctor. He is even wearing a white coat.

The ref still plays on.

The doctor knows he was offside (and not even a player) and he “sportingly” runs the ball over the goal line. The ref gives a goal kick but keeper Foster insists on taking a free kick where the offside took place and gets into a row with the ref.

Weird or what?

A German winner in the semi final at WC2010 scored by someone who should have been sent off earlier?

I have to agree with you and I'm a Spurs fan. We had loads of trouble with them lot until we took enough lads down with us. Even then the younger scallies were trying to have it with loads of the OB around. Just hope they don't come up to the proper league anytime soon.

Looks like Swansea's out of the Championship play-offs this season, unless one of the teams above them has a major meltdown.

Not looking too good for the barcodes, squeaky bum time indeed. Need to win both home games and hope Hull continue to slide.
