How many football FA's are there ?
Careful Mikey, referring to Hillsborough when discussing last nights events and all that...

agchristie....yes, I was conscious of that !

But it seems that behaviour such as this mindless violence, takes us straight back to years ago, when it was ll too common.
Mikey, it's never really gone away, it continues to rear its ugly head now and then...
No, not a good association to make. Unlike Hillsborough, trashing the bus was the fans' fault ...
Ah, the joys of the “Beautiful Game”.

No they don't ever learn, Mikey. It's not in their makeup.

I have one or two friends who follow football. They are childish in their outlook towards the game, insist on referring to their team in the first person plural (“we well and truly stuffed them”; “ we got a pasting”). They roam around in football shirts on match days. They treat the game as if it were a matter of some importance. They have all their teams’ fixtures embedded in their brain.

The fact is that football is a tedious, unpleasant game with a very high number of cheats among its participants. It is little wonder that “fans” behave the way they did last night. I believe that all football matches should be held behind closed doors and televised on a pay per view basis only, with no broadcasts being allowed in pubs or other public places. Those wishing to watch it can do so from the comfort of their own homes without disturbing anybody else.
How can you seriously compare the two?
Dreadful behaviour , do these idiots not realise the damage they could do to another human being !

I take it you have never played football or you did but wasn't very good at it, NJ?
@NJ

A good moment to recall Bill Shankly:

"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that"
not surprising, last time man utd went there they dumped west ham out of the fa cup ... can't take defeat like real men can they



“I take it you have never played football or you did but wasn't very good at it, NJ?”

Yes I did. No, I wasn’t particularly good at it. So I took up rowing instead. Far better sport with cheating at near enough zero levels. However, although I did enjoy watching football many years ago my interest waned when cheats began to prosper. The current game infuriates me when I see a player blown off his feet, seemingly poleaxed, by the wash of an opponent passing three or four yards away. The behaviour of fans seems to plumb new depths (as evidenced at West Ham) and the entire circus is a farce.

Far better to keep the matches away from the live public and simply broadcast them to the homes of those willing to pay to watch.
GO - NJ !! I can't stick football at any price and I'm thrilled that my granddaughter is giving it up (knees, pain, growing). The game may have been OK once, but not for the last 40 years. Money, the 'professional foul' (I mean, really!) prima donnas etc. Sorry some people get upset but I hate and loathe it and the effect it has on youngsters, deeply and passionately.

7 yr. old grandson said the other day that he liked football - I looked at him pityingly and told him that with a bit of luck he'd grow up and get over it.

Hang on! What have the Beeb got left, oh yes, the boat race. We are not all football hooligans!!
I know you all think Mikey is guilty of breath-taking hypocrisy. But this club has a reputation for attracting, literally, the worst fans in Britain. from Alf Garnett to David Cameron, West Ham City has always attracte
