Felt like there is generation that missed out on two years of learning how to follow football properly They never had to suffer the 70s hooligans and the consequences we now have to endure because of that will seem normal to them, maybe they should look at how fans of other sports are treated to see what it could be like. Sadly they think it's just fun and banter which they're happy to dish out but can't take so resort to violence it's like groundhog day or deja vu. All they are doing is making going to a football match even more controlled and policed and less enjoyable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 Our fans say something about Clough, their fans say something about Vichai, everyone acts outraged and then it's forgotten until the next time. Find it funny that the generations that actually went up and down the country bashing each others heads in throughout the 70s and 80s are now the one's on their high horses 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't like you assuming that as one that is moaning was part of that. When you've tried to find a place to hide with your young daughter or son in the face of marauding hooligans bent on hurting anyone they see you'd understand how i feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You carry on lauding and excusing these twats and I'll carry on moaning about them, My wife went to games when she was a little girl...and then she didn't. Her family stopped going because of the "match day experience." There is a certain segment of the fan base that prides itself of "having supported the club when no one else was going" in the 80s, as if "no one was going" was happening in a vacuum. When people complain about how football violence and other antisocial behaviours are treated "disproportionately", I just think about forest fires -- you got to destroy that last bit of flame or else it will just blow up again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is sick and embarrassing, and sadly will be seen by some as a reflection of our fan base in general, which of course its not. Given what happened to our late chairman, I would expect better from fans of our club. If this was anyone on this forum, then take a long good look at yourselves, and sort your shit out! "banter" is witty and funny and has a certain amount of intelligence behind it, slagging someone/team off and calling it banter is just retarded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as mentioned by davieG those of us berating the idiotic chanting at Derby are not the same people involved in football violence in 70s and 80s. We were sick of the nutters then too. You are in danger of falling into the trap that all football fans then were hooligans. This was the common opinion of those that watched the news or read the papers back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the common opinion of those that watched the news or read the papers back then. The problem is that hooliganism and other anti-social behaviour drives away other fans, thus increasing the percentage of match-going fans who engage in anti-social behaviour while at the same time making clubs more dependent on the income from the anti-social fans. It was a vicious cycle in the 80s. I think of some of the very rose-colored reminiscing of the "old days" and always react: And if I was there with my grade-school age sons?? "Yeah, we used to urinate through rolled up programmes on the terraces!" "We gave them a spot of trouble that day!" Well, thank you, but not my cup of tea.

RowlattsFox Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 I think I'd rather put up with the 70s and 80s hooligans than the shit we see now Every single fan base in this country as an element who are embarrassing one way or another. Posturing, smashing things up for no reason, attention-seeking chants, unable to hold their drink or go unnecessarily over the top for a 'laugh' and just generally be unlikable *****. Probably just me getting old but its a reflection on wider society and happens in football, darts and even starting to come into cricket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt one of the reasons attendances fell through the floor in the 80s. The stadiums were in the main poor. Loved the football but you had to use your loaf when going to and from etc. Witty good humoured is good but singing about a death is moronic.

Popular Post The Bear Posted 26 July 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 26 July 2022 (edited) Unfortunately we now have a generation of teenagers and twenty-somethings who grew up with the internet and anonymity when abusing people. When they were younger they never ended up getting a smack in the mouth when they pissed someone off, punishment at school, or any discipline from their parents. The result is a generation that think they can get away with everything no matter what they say or do. What they need is what this lad got.
