Why?
Have you ever seen Green Street?
Well if hooligans try to get you you just say:
"Please don't hurt me, it's painful. Here. Have a piece of fruit."
That's the Hollywood version, mate. Real life is a whole different story. If you ever see a Newcastle fan with missing limbs, or horrible burn scars, they've survived West 'Aaaam away. They're the lucky ones.
Here you have the GuimarĂ£es and Porto away games, you can not carry anything with you, only the ticket and some pieces of fruit.
In guimarĂ£es last year they have set the railways on fire, you get inside the stadium under a rain of rocks and pieces of fruit.
In Porto I had a really bad experience, a colleague of mine got his ass kicked really badly, at the end his clothes were in shatters and he p*ssed himself. At the end I said "here, have these pieces of fruit."
fucking brilliant.
