My avatar doesn't glorify street fighting.

I'd run a mile before getting involved in a street fight. In fact, me bird has been in more street fights than me.

Regardless of the fact that I was addressing what was in the OP, which was patently pre-meditated, there were loads of people who went to the footie in the 70s and 80s and had nothing to do with trouble.

I've no issue with anyone fighting back against an attacker if they're literally cornered and they're in physical danger. But lots of football hooliganism was blokes from dysfunctional families looking to belong to something and impress other lads, people just looking to fight.

The main issue I have is the people who recount the stories like it was something to be proud of. basically, if you're an adult, fighting in the street is something that you should rarely be proud of. That's a good rule of thumb!

You make some good points and some I disagree with but I think you're canny and I don't want to get into the rights and wrongs which would take the lad's thread off track .......... is this the new girlfriend or are you back with the old one ;)

For those who haven't seen it, not exactly ww3 but they aren't exactly shitting it either. Amazing they were just moved to their own end without penalty, imagine that happening today? :lol:

They couldn't get out quick enough ....... why didn't they stand their ground like we've done at places like Ayresome Park? Look at he clip again and tell me how many polis were forcing them out?

:lol: Yea back with the old one. 3 guys attacked her and she landed 2 of them in hospital :eek: Though she took some heavy punches before she floored them and needed to get xrays etc in A+E. Don't know what kind of families rear blokes who try to rob women. We're all still getting over it, hence my random crazy ranting about fighting :oops:

Was at that game too, true they left quick enough but the point is they did it. They tried to stand their ground with smaller numbers in the clockstand a few years later which with hindsight they probably realised was a mistake :lol:

Was looking but couldn't find footage of Sunderland fans leaving the Kop at Anfield, probably the Cummins winner game, seemed thousands at the time, that said I was 16-17 and drunk!
 
I was in the Fulwell that day in the centre section where all the chanters used to go (mainly spotty teenagers like me with a few proper hard mentalists dressed in white butcher's coats thrown in for good measure).

I recall that a chant of 'united' went up from the section to the right (as you looked towards the pitch) then everyone looked over, a big space cleared and a few punches were thrown. As previous posters have mentioned it was mainly kids and older blokes scrambling to get out of the way. What I can say with absolute certainty is that the 'brave' invaders did not attempt to cross over to the centre section or to do anything much other scramble onto the cinder track at the side of the pitch. My one abiding memory of the event was the sight of a bloke in thirties running down the terrace towards the mags while swinging a golf umbrella round his head and screaming like a demented viking as he got stuck into them. :)

The escorted walk around the pitch resulted in them getting coined to fuck by the Clockstand paddocks which was obviously richly deserved. I do remember that the press the next day had the cheek to report that innocent Newcastle fans who 'accidently' got tickets for the wrong part of the ground were subjected to 'derby day coin horror'!
 
I saw it all and that account is utter rubbish. They never even came close to taking it. If they had really wanted a fight they would have infiltrated the middle section right at the back of the stand and not the corner where the kids and families were located. They also did not know how fast to get out once everyone had found their location.

:oops:
 
it would have been exciting to be a mag doing that, as with all hoolies they give it the big un from the safety of there pub or the internet.

me mate was part of the chelsea firm for 20 years. he never ever had a proper fight it was usually a battle to see who blinked first and then you were chasing or being chased occasionally someone would get caught and then get a good hiding.
 
Seriously, by my reckoning this **** is 46.

If you found out ur pa was posting this kind of crud, you'd be having a serious word with him wouldn't you.

Embarassing really doesn't cover it :eek:
 
I was right in front of them that day.

A few chants of United went up. There was a bit "handbags" and they left to go to the Roker End.

No deaths no major injuries.

The mag who wrote the original article will be sitting at a computer now in his purple y fronts and string vest wanking furiously over tails of hooliganeering. If for some reason you are reading this mr sadmag you are one hell of a sad pathetic individual.

I posted this a while back...

I was in the Fulwell that day. Soon after the kick-off, about 150 mags began chanting “United”. They were to the right of the back central section as you looked at the pitch, surrounded by a load of bemused looking middle-aged blokes and kids, who cleared away leaving them stood in a circle on their own. There was a stand-off for about 10 seconds (the red fence ran down the terrace between them and the middle section) before the police took them out, although they hardly looked reluctant to leave.

Yep I was but a kid but I remember one large chant of United and that was basically it...............

I was in the Kop that day, but not for long, and we got a great reception from the Sunderland end ... "Geordies here, Geordies there etc." We were allowed to use that word in them days :-D

What makes me laugh about the Mags in the Fulwell is that can either say they were there just to be there in which case they succeeded ............ if they went in there to fight Sunderland they failed. There were many more Mags clouted then the other way round.

There were no polis and they legged it, plain and simple.
 
I was there and its fuck all like I remember and how the fuck does he know what was happening when he wasn't in the ground when it started?
 
Absolute load of bollocks
As numerous others have stated as you look from the Roker they were 3/4 of the way up and to the left of centre as soon as the United chant went up there was a brief pause they they pretty much legged it to the front of the stand and down past the clock stand , fair play to them for trying it on but as always it's typical mag exaggerations :lol:
 
I was there too! Do not re-call anything regarding an NME chant, thats bullshit, as is most of the tool's article. There was a chant of United, and a surge forward of the crowd. My younger brother was crushed against one of the barriers by the surge, fortunately nowt serious, but being a bairn he was shook up. There was nowt like the war this tool describes, they were out of the Fulwell End as quick as they could. I re-call one of the wankers getting properly stretched out on the ash track while being escorted by the police. Don't re-call any attempt of an arms aloft lap of honour, but i do remember them getting into "their" part of the Roker as quickly as they could! The bloke is making his story out like they took Hamburger Hill or summat. Load of fabricated, and as usual, deluded, shite!

I can remember one of their buses being parked on the waste ground behind the Wheat Sheaf and Barclay Court area, and three of them getting off for a piss. There was a group of Sunderland charged the bus, and the lads on the bus locked the doors locking their "marra's" out! Those three took a right pasting, don't see owt writen about that, locking their mates out of the bus! I was only a boy, on my way home after this game, and was admittedly like a rabbit caught in the headlights watching this happen! Actually felt sorry for the ones that got "left" by their brethren!

The bloke is simply another mag jackanory and nowt else.
