    It's not the subject matter, it's the way the passages in the links read. They're glorifying this scumbag.

    it just seems anecdotal to me. Not much glorifying at all.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Why dont you do a project on what happens on the pitch instead? You would have more to write about and it would be more interesting.

    While that was my first thought it doesnt fall under the the topic. It's more of a social thing, why people do it, how it affects the club and supporters etc.

    I'm not glorifying it btw.

    Some of the worst trouble at LOI games was in the late 60's early 70's. Rovers had a large Skinhead following around that time. It was never as bad as anything in England (not even close). Rovers v Cork Hibs around 71 a lot of trouble outside the ground after the game. But the worst trouble was usually at European games. Bohs v Newcastle EUFA game in 70s was one of the worst. Bohs v Rangers and the worst one of all Dundalk v Linfield with Philip Green doing the commentatry ("I might be leaving you very shortly" as in trying to get out of the ground with the game going on)

    I watched Green Street last night...

    As I said in previous posts I am not glorifying it or anything. Just looking at the social aspects of it etc as I already said.

    I witnessed Derry fans wrecking cars outside Glasnevin Graveyard as they made their way back to buses (I think it was after an FAI Cup final in '88). We were walking back up to collect the car to go home and there were cars with "Up Louth" written on them (I think the Wee County were playing a Championship match the week before or after) and Derry fans started jumping on bonnets and ripping off aerials. Some Gardai were on duty across the road (next to the main entrance gate) and as they ran over to retore order were pelted with rocks and bottles. 2 Derry buses I remember were parked just short of the CB house and Gardai were dragging guys off them.

    I remember clearly Rangers fans going mental at a UEFA Cup game with Bohs. For some reason I think it was in Phibsboro as I remember my Dad taking us towards Cabra before heading back to Glasnevin for the car.

    Modern day hooliganism has really moved east in Europe and is quite dangerous. There are lots of the usual idiots wearing burberry and throwing what they think are shapes, but pre match pitch battles are the norm. In Russia and Ukraine this is quite traditional (like the old Irish faction fights) and is associated with hockey (or bandy) moreso. I heard some real horror stories from ex-Yugo countries and was present for one of the most amazing incidents ever.

    After a derby match in Split, police accompanied all Zagreb cars and buses back, however one car load decided it was a good idea to pull in to answer natures call, and left the convoy. Some triumphant Hajduk fans spotted this and within seconds the car and it's occupants were set upon, the guys beaten to pulp, the car overturned and set on fire -and the media reaction was "Well, they shouldn't have stopped." Within 1 day it was laughed off. Not exactly Luas gate I guess, but close!

My google searches turned up not much useful but an older poster might be able to shed some light.
    Rovers won 1-0 that day. At the end of the game as the players came over towards the fans to celebrate, one Rovers fan ran out across the track and was rubgy tackled from behind by a derry "stewart". Then some more rovers jumped out to help their mate. Then more stewards got involved and the whole thing snowballed with some stewards taking off the bibs and throwing digs all over the place. Then some derry fans came storming up through the stand and across the pitch from the shed to get involved and all hell broke loose. We finally made it back to the bus which was surrounded and attacked with a block coming in through the back window. If Rovers had not won, or if the stewarts were professional or there were police in the ground nothing would of happened!

    If the subject was that it moved out of the grounds, then fair enough. But if the claim was that British Hooliganism disappeared in the Top 2 Divisions then they should've failed. It never went away in England - more incidents every weekend than overblown incidents in the LoI in the last 10 years!
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    I was at the Bohs v Newcastle game in 1977. McFaul the Newcastle keeper was hit by missiles early in the second half and so a load of Newcastle fans jumped down onto the pitch from the main stand. Most of the trouble was caused by Man United supporting Irish fans that night. It was bizarre to hear "manchester lalala" at a Bohs v Newcastle game!There was a full scale riot outside the ground after the game with the Newcastle busses getting stoned and the Newcastle fans getting off the buses and rushing at and hitting out at anyone within reach. Very scary stuff and it was a relief to get back into the city center that night in one piece. Bohs had a very good team at that time (Gerry Ryan in his prime)and were favourites to win the home game but the crowd trouble put a real dampener on the night.

    Not really hooliganism, just a bunch of scumbags ambushing 3 fans, hopping into their blue bus back to Dundalk, never to be identified by "real" Dundalk fans
    http://foot.ie/archive/index.php/t-113820.html

    1986 League Cup final, not really hooliganism either, just another bunch of not very nice Dundalk people!
    Galway s name was on the cup. Some five minutes later a bout of scuffles arose when Dundalk followers appeared to move into Galway fans terrain. ...

    St. Pats v Waterford Cup Semi in Richmond in 1986. Game held up for 20 minutes due to rioting. Even a gang of bikers drinking in a nearby pub joined in. I wasn't there but from accounts of people who were at it, it was pretty scary stuff.

    There was a riot after the Cup Quarter Final against Cobh in 2001. It didn't help matters when before the game, Waterford fans invaded the stand behind the goal where the home support usually gathered, cue aggro and the odd bottle thrown, digs and after the match all hell breaks loose. Free for all on the pitch, Waterford fans coming under attack outside the ground from stone throwing local scrotes and one little knacker tried to set our bus on fire by taking off the petrol cap and stuffing a rag down the shaft. Good job his matches were wet. Your man got caught and received an awful hiding. Cops called and Garda escort for the travelling support out of Cobh.

    Danny Dyer.

    Was it Danny Dyer or that Ross Kemp guy who had a program a few years ago about hooliganism around the world and he was going to derby matches with one group of fans??It was Dyer wasnt it?Anyway Dunny if your looking for the reasons,social or otherwise,for hooliganism then watch that program.The reasons are mostly the same around the world for why people do it,just copy and paste different clubs,countries etc alongside the reasons.

    I absolutely loved Danny Dyer as the hoolie finder, he was brilliant. Not being sarcastic or ironic, he was just perfect for it - for what the whole series was, light entertainment-comedy. The exposure after the series of some of the "best bits" really gave it even more comedic quality. When he "fled" the Spartak fans because they were getting angry with him, was actually a case of him leaving in order to catch his flight, and when you understand what the fans were saying "Who is this idiot? Isn't he gone yet?", classic.

    I always think police should take the proper 3rd world line with hooligans, use live ammunition. I think the English mad dogs would suddenly find that garden furniture doesn't quite stack up against a few rounds of a shot gun.
