Incognito Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I don't know the statistics and I don't really care, there's no need for a bloke and his son to be jumped by a pack of nobs, regardless of how a few of their lot go on. It just comes across like your Man U vendetta, A deep genuine hatred of a club and it's fans for arbitrary reasons. Like the fucking Lyon lot would have had a clue what they were shouting anyway. Vendetta? You're laughable. Honestly. And you think the word that they chant isn't a universal one ? Fuck me. I honestly feel for the bloke and his son, it always seems to be the way that the innocent ones take the flak for the arseholes. And to just put your facts straight as they weren't even on the right page. I have no hatred for Tottenham, indeed quite the opposite. Some of the most attractive football I've ever seen, has come from Hoddle inspired Spurs teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Areet then, I'm just thrown by comments like this I suppose Fucking Spurs fans would get attacked by home fans even if they were drawn away to Vatican City.

NUFC_Chris Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It's bad when clubs have to employ security for their fans but Spurs have definitely been targeted by fascists. I know there has been incidents with other English clubs; Liverpool at Zenit, even some of our lads last night, but nothing on the scale of these attacks.

gazza ladra Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 The American solution to this problem: give each Spurs fan a handgun when they travel to the continent. Actually, the American solution is not to have separate seating. Sharing bathrooms and turnstiles! The Horror! We probably lose a great deal in terms of atmosphere, but people don't develop the same crowd mentality when everyone is mixed together. People act and do stupid things when they are members of groups-- things they wouldn't do otherwise. We've never really had problems with crowd violence at sporting events despite being-- I think- an extremely violent society. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Absolutely no segregation in Kharkiv. Was really weird, nothing happened, but there was nothing stopping any of us getting cornered in the toilets and battered Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Read that the Kharkiv fans were fighting among themselves and not with NUFC fans - just how I like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 It did seem to kick off down the other end actually, loads of there fans started running towards the pitch but there stewards stopped them. Not sure if they were trying to get to us. Some of there fans did seen to be wanting trouble. One guy got taken out by police, only to make his way back into the seating area. Everyone was just laughing at him. I feel horrendous, horrible journey today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Perhaps if certain sections of Spurs fans stopped gallivanting around away grounds and surrounding areas chanting the word "yiddos" in an aggressive manner then they wouldn't be getting attacked by all and sundry when they travelled abroad or to away fixtures. And their "lads" declaring themselves as self styled londons current No. 1's in the radgy stakes as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlouismag Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Football really can't be compared to other sports in terms of crowd passion and intensity. American football, at both the professional and top college levels is definitely up there. With stadiums that seat 50 to 100,000+, hours to get properly pissed up before the game, long-standing rivalries (many college football ones go back over 100 years), a small schedule (16 games for the pros before playoffs, only 12 for college) so the result of each game is critical, and crowds dominated by young males violent bullshit is pretty inevitable. In typical U.S. fashion, people don't often get killed, so the violence isn't mentioned much. I experienced some nasty stuff on a regular basis when I was an undergrad including some full-scale skirmishes that stretched out over blocks and required riot police and tear gas to break up. I've also had some quite menacing stuff at certain away games, including, memorably, some hateful shouting and chanting directed at my then-pregnant wife.

American football (along with Football in England) isn't up there with the stuff you see on the the continent, or in South America etc. Partly because of rules and regulations, partly because they're just nutters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Aye, I missed all of that which is a bit of a shame, obviously glad the hooligan element has largely been eradicated but it would be nice to get the terraces back. There's still some fantastic atmospheres generated in the top flight like dependent on the game. There's no other sport in the world though, to my knowledge, that will generate the passion we see at football grounds in the likes of Istanbul, Buenos Aires etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only calmed down when Canada's other national passion, the striptease, started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
