Not much Stone Island hereRiotedA few bins got turned over and a horse lamped. I’ve seen more bother down Concord on a Saturday night.
1990 post play-off there was a lot of bother with the polis but that never got reported.
Ecstasy in the late 80s yes that seems to have been a thing. I'm on about things like the Ferry Port incident. It just moved away from the grounds, it was still going on biggly in the Blair years.Was Ecstacy that sorted it then not Thatcher and John Major.
Coach scruffs. Any casual worth his salt is travelling on the train.Not much Stone Island here
What is the craic with that. All these kids going around in black or dark grey like they are gang members or something?Not all of them scruffy but they only seem to wear SI and CP and primarily in black. No imagination amongst them!

This is why we never had pitch invasions and fan disturbance before social mediaSocial media and the push for going viral, creating scenes for the approval of others etc. Platforms like Twitter reducing the public discord to disagreeable single sentences and thought processes.
Man Utd started it with men in black but it’s the continental ultras that all seem to wear that style. It means the coppers/CCTV cant easily identify them.What is the craic with that. All these kids going around in black or dark grey like they are gang members or something?
Maybe it’s down to music glamourising gang culture?

A lot of it is mega expensive gear too, worn by kids from scratty underclass or working class families at a time when the media tell us no one has any money?

I remember getting off a coach at Boro as a 14 year old, 83 I think. f***ing hundreds of them looking like Jimmy Tarbuck but rough as owt. We still had donkey jackets and shit
The expensive clothes for the working classes has been going on since the mod times and maybe before that. Plenty of anthropological studies around that. I think that was even bigger in the 80s than now and it’s definitely bigger in northern towns and cities.it isnt just football hooligans its every kid on the street.
