      Thing is I dont mind football, Used to love it as a kid, I hate the players, I hate how entitled they are and the fact they dont even put 100% effort into their job which is an easy job for that kind of pay. You watch documentaries of poor people working their asses off every single day jkust to feed themselves and these footballers cant even put full effort in when they get 200 grand a week, its ludicrous. Plus most of them are arrogant cunts. And football is boring now, Weve seen everything now its the same shit different teams.

    Years ago my uncle (from London but lived in Bristol) went to a match with Bristol Rovers and Millwall in Bristol, and he came out and was put on a coach to London, the police officers thought he was pulling one and refused to let him get off the coach and he ended up going to London on this coach with all the Millwall fans. He got to London then had to come back to Bristol again. It was bonkers.

      In Brazil they get so emotional over football, that in 2013 a player got Red carded, the player argued with the Referee and kicked him, so the Referee stabbed him to death. And then the fans rushed into the pitch, bottled the referee, kicked, punched and beat him with a bat, then beheaded him, put his head on a pike at the side of the pitch and chopped his arms and legs off his body.

    I’ll never forget back in the 90’s going to an away game at Milwall. The safest way for us to get there was by coach because if some Milwall supporters know you’re from the away team they’d have you. Anyway, the police had to escort us in through every red light and lock us in a compound for our safety. Before the match had finished they invaded the pitch and tried to rugby tackle our goalie! No wonder the away end was suspended off the ground so the home supporters couldn’t attack us. Scary stuff! Bloody love listening to your tales. My dad was a DI in Dorset police for 35 years, he retired in the early 00’s, every police officer gets my total respect for the incredibly difficult job they do xxxxx

    I resonate with this so much my ex husband was a police officer and always would get called in on his days off to babysit these idiots. I remember one day he had to go to a match and my grandma died and I couldn’t get hold of him all day. That day I really needed him and was so angry that he had to be with these idiots instead of being able to support his wife. Safe to say you guys sacrifice so much so thank you 💗

      calling them idiots is puting it lightly their behavior is raised from trauma and thus their caught up in a victimhood mentality mindset the Football Hooligans have tried to move closer to wellness by physically acting out in an attempt to no longer feel powerless by committing a crime. In effect, they project their feelings of powerless out onto their victim and in doing so, feel more empowered. It is a reaction rising from fear. They do not realize that any action taken from a place of fear (without first coming mentally into a space of freedom) will only produce physical results coherent with powerlessness, such as prison. The victim however, has merely stayed in the state of fear and powerlessness without acting out.

    To be honest, "Dragon Fighters" sounds like some shit kids TV cartoon...
    I'm a big football fan but a mate of mine used to work for one of one of the police forces that I won't name (it's not W. Yorks!); he hates football and one of his jobs was to repair the police vans. Let's just say he was never impressed when his workload had increased after a big match due to the "damage" caused to said vehicles!
    How people can claim football is boring but then say they like rugby or cricket (a game which can last 5 days and then nobody wins at the end) is a bit strange though ;-)
