at 16 or 17 i first saw millwall fans hooligans attacking people at random. no point to it, they just wanted to act hard and show us 'northerners' that being from London was something to be proud of. i'm proud to be from Newcastle but don't have the need to attack people from any other area to prove it. all fans take the piss, whether it's english v scottish fans newcastle laughing at sunderlands team etc 99% is just a piss take.
at the time being young and easily led i was always on the fringes of the trouble, but i used to enjoy the atmosphere at the time more. the atmosphere now at football is very poor (i've gone off on a totally different tangent here).
basically i reckon some people just like to fight and fighting with people from a different country or city to try and prove how hard they are. fools.
jeezuz i could talk about footy violence all day, its one of the things i actually read about a lot. not to glorify it, just to actually read what fans are thinking and also the innocent fans that are nearly always caught up in trouble when all they are doing is trying to support there team. (im rambling).
