A lot of violence between football supporters has an political edge and reflects a wider division in society. Take a Rangers-Celtic match, which normally has 1 murder attributable to rival supporters. Rangers is a protestant team and Celtic is a Catholic team. In Italy is normally a right left split Inter and Lazio being right wing and Uvea and Roma being on the left. In spain support tends to split down on provincial lines e.g Basque/Galicia/Catalan.recruit00 said:What on earth is wrong with you Europeans and soccer. I swear, if it wasn't for soccer, we would have had another world war because you guys can't expel your anger peacefully.

And here was me wondering why there is this consistent flow of middle eastern and African immigrants with families and such coming here to work for minimum wage. They must enjoy the heady smell of danger and oppression.DVS BSTrD said:Said thing is you're still safer going to a football match than living anywhere in America right now =(.

Honestly, how often do you hear of people shooting up professional sporting events in the United States? Despite my countries many numerous mistakes, and the horrible things we (meaning they) consider popular culture, and the fact that no one in this country seems to give a damn about anyone but themselves, I think we get painted in an unfair light on the global stage at times.DVS BSTrD said:Said thing is you're still safer going to a football match than living anywhere in America right now =(.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I've worked in several major stadiums around the UK and from my experience the security measures are pretty rigorous. Even as a staff members we go through airport like security, I once got asked to try my lipstick on my hand to prove I wasn't going to poison anyone with it!Mazza35 said:still pretty scary he got it IN THE STADIUM
So that's their cunning plan eh? Sneaky foreigners, we should all go over there and beat them up, maybe at some sort of sporting event.RhombusHatesYou said:You get half price tickets if you're willing to wear an England shirt for the duration of the match.Zykon TheLich said:Otherwise who the hell were all those fans at the European matches? Did they dress up the home crowd in England shirts just for a laugh?
Seeing as I'm not English, I have no stake in it, but you go ahead... you'll be able to tell who the sneaky foreigners are, they'll be the ones in England shirts.Zykon TheLich said:So that's their cunning plan eh?

So you're foreign eh? How would you like a ticket to see England at their next world cup qualifier? Also, are there any places you particularly don't like being hit?RhombusHatesYou said:Seeing as I'm not English, I have no stake in it, but you go ahead... you'll be able to tell who the sneaky foreigners are, they'll be the ones in England shirts.
That wasn't anywhere near a flashbang. Large banger maybe, but definitely not a flashbang.SpectacularWebHead said:Although it was only a flashbang, I don't know where this whole "Bomb" thing came from...
Not really, I've got better things to do than watch a bunch of overpaid primadonnas flounce around a football pitch.Zykon TheLich said:How would you like a ticket to see England at their next world cup qualifier?RhombusHatesYou said:Seeing as I'm not English, I have no stake in it, but you go ahead... you'll be able to tell who the sneaky foreigners are, they'll be the ones in England shirts.
I sincerely can't tell if you're being genuine in this opinion...Private Custard said:No, it's not a good thing that someone decided to throw a banger onto the pitch. But as per usual, the players reactions were hilarious........it's like it suddenly becomes a 'who's most injured' contest!!
