Modern football types! I'm 58 you ignorant pillock. Saw plenty of ultra-violence when I was a kid. Cold Blow Lane in particular was a hot bed of violence in the 60s and 70s. Saw plenty there and elsewhere.

Ditto the above really - I've seen violence both in and around grounds, some of it quite stomach churning - don't think I've ever seen anything as polite as a "brawl" though.


Certainly not one which was "exciting and nobody got hurt", maybe you're thinking of a John Wayne film?

Sense of humour failure my dear friends. Just pointing out a bit of an over-reaction by the media. Obviously the point had been made before.


Brawl refers to loosely equally matched groups where no real harm is done. If you want some a real story when the London clubs came down about a 100 of them would stand in their Pringles/Stay prest/etc then start chanting and get chased, led onto the pitch, and receive a warm round of applause from the away end as they were marched round to join them.


It got a bit silly after Man U got relegated in 74 when they suddenly got the reputation of trouble and picked up more fans. Glory hunters were Leeds and Liverpool before that.


When they came back in 75 there were pitch invasions every away match when they came back up. Rember one at Derby but it was almost dancing with 18 year olds with long hair, short jumpers and baggies trying to kick each other. Then the Man U fan who fell through the roof at Carrow Road.


Of course there was far more unsavoury stuff and generally glad it has gone.


Always had to be careful at Upton Park even in modern times.

Which is exactly what Spurs were going to do if they'd managed to buy it. Dodged a bullet there.

Not so clever maybe Jah - right click on the image and Google does it for you

    • as a retail worker I was once a member of USDAW I found they only have teeth when the majority of employees in a company are members. I remember in a former job I needed their help and found them somewhat flaky and therefore never re-enrolled in my next job. even if a union gets involved with something like working temparature it could take months to get a resolution..and then it'll be spring.
    • This afternoon our bike, a grey Condor, was stolen outside Dulwich library (the big one). If you come across it pls let me know.  There is no CCTV, as Historic England won’t allow them to put up Cameras onto the building and staff told us that it happens almost once a month! So beware of parking any bike there in Future!
    • It's back on now, earlier than forecast,  hooray for the electricity workers out in the cold and dark!
