Blades fans Fighting each other......

He probably carries a razor aroud to give himself a nick on the bridge of his nose for precisely these occasions....

You sound like a man of experience in such matters Darren?

Indeed. HE can also use the razor to cut holes in his pocket and say

"oh no, I would buy you a drink but my wallet has slipped through the hole in my pocket. I had £200 in there".

Hey preto, you all buy him drinks in sympathy.

If someone I knew told me he'd lost his wallet because of a hole in his pocket I wouldn't be giving him a great deal of sympathy - much less paying for him to get pissed. Idiot!

There is a small but significant minority who mix drink, violence and complete lack of consideration for others.

It can often be the luck of the draw who surrounds you at away games but I now think twice about whether I really want to go to certain away games.

My problem is I actually want to watch the game.

I was in Block 137 and had standing issues from people immediately in front. They spent significant time with their backs to the game berating others. It stayed on the right side of good humour but could have turned.

Fortunately it didn't spoil my day but I feel for the innocents where it did kick off.

 

[Junior Soduko]

Some so called fans need to have a long hard look at themselves after their actions yesterday. It ruined what was an extremely good day out.

I was in block 128, and literally 10 minutes into the game it had kicked off. The most surprising part was that the instigator was not a young lad who you might expect this kind of behiavour from, but from a middle aged man who was sat on a row that was filled with kids.

There was about 8 or so young adults say mid 20s, who weren't standing up during the game, but they did stand up mid song, like the vast majority of other fans. I, for one, see no problem at all when people stand up during a song, however this spoil sport sat behind couldn't obviously put up with 30 seconds or so of standing and singing so he decided he was going to spoil everyones fun. An arguement ensued and i'll be honest if i thought anyone was going to get violent it would have been the young lads who were standing and singing, however this stuck in the mud took it upon himself to headbutt and punch the lad in front. And to be honest i was expecting a full on brawl, however fair play to them they didn't retaliate and tried to calm the situation down.

The guy was a complete and utter arsehole. In a way i'd expect that level of behiavour from the younger generation not a middle aged man sat with kids.

I reported this to the nearest police officer after the event, and i simply got "i appreciate you telling me however, we are only here on a watching brief today." I walked away in disbelief.

Is "Compassion" your middle name?

 

[Crouchy]

Is "Compassion" your middle name?

No, it's another word beginning with "C".

 

[Darren]

No, it's another word beginning with "C".

Good job I didn't come to you for sympathy when I fell for the "You dropped a fiver" trick at the Cashpoint near Holborn Station.

I don't know how often these lads were standing up, but if it was every five minutes or so, I would be mightily pissed off if I was behind them. No excuse for the headbutt though.

Good job you didn't come to me either. My nan wouldn't fall for that.

It was 10 minutes into the game, they must have stood up about 4 times along with everyone else in the rows in front. What is everyone supposed to do when everyone in the rows in front stand up? If this was half an hour in and they had stood up every single song in that time they maybe i could understand it slightly.

 

[Darren]

It was actually very professional.

I had just come out of the gym, so was a bit knackered. The bloke on my left said "excuse me you have dropped a fiver". Unless you are 100% alert to the possibility of said scam, you instinctively look round. In a split second the cash card is taken (and in this case, the £5 as well, which I thought was a bit mean) and the blokes are scurrying off down the road. It takes perfect co-ordination and timing to pull it off.

I debated for about 5 secs whether to chase them or call the bank and decided to do the latter. Before I got through, they had taken £200, which to their credit, the bank refunded.

 

[Bladepicker]

Absolute joke that we have 'fans' like this.

They want identifying and banning for life. Young kids excited about seeing their team at Wembley will have had their day ruined yesterday - yet these morons will not care one bit. Absolutely moronic behaviour which seems confined to football fans unfortunately. Don't get incidents like this when drinking all day at a test match; worst you get there is making snakes out of pint pots.

I really hope the club do all they can to identify and ban anyone instigating the trouble and then enforce said ban.

 

[Silent Blade]

Mark Labett from "The Chase" was sat about 10 rows in front of me and the person sitting behind the 6 foot 6 inches man mountain was a young lad about a foot shorter!

 

[Torrix1889]

Gi ooer yer sens and stop being so self righteous. This type of shit happens every Satdi up and down the country and never gets a mention. Just because we were at Wembley doesn't make it any worse, (or acceptable I might add) than it would at Crewe.

 

[Chris Wood]

There were some at it in 129 as well about 15 mins from the end. Absolute morons they were kids all around them, when the stewards arrived they stood by for a couple of mins. Then decided to chuck them out. One went ok the other resisted so more trouble ensued. Absolute morons. We had a great day saw OUR team give the best performance we have ever done at Wembley, but they had to spoil for others .

Not that it's important in the context of them being absolute fuckwits but it was in 130. We were about 15yds away in Block 131. The stewards took about 5 mins to get there, in fact one of them mates had time to run back from the exit steps to try and split it up / join in well before any stewards were anywhere to be seen.

 

[AlBlade]

I was in block 536 and a group of moronic dickheads who were sat a few seats away from us decided to have a scrap during the last 15 minutes. Completely ruined the day for my 8yr old son and my 6yr old nephew who were terrified. The fighting even carried on after the game had finished, on the stairs on the way out, with one of them landing on his face at the bottom of the stairwell.

Stewards were a complete waste of time. I appreciate that they don't want to get a smack in the mouth for their troubles, but they should have got the police involved. If the individuals involved can be identified the club should definitely ban them. It would be easy to blame this all on alcohol, but I'm fairly sure the lot that were fighting in block 546 are dickheads even when sober.

 

[Cheets]

In the designer shopping centre opposite the stadium, there were a couple of Hull fans, looked like a married couple, maybe 60 years old. Some drunken Blades fans started shouting "Tigers, Tigers, rah rah rah" at them. The lady Hull fan smiled and did a good-humoured "tigers" motion with her hand. A separate group of drunken Blades fans then started shouting "CUNTS!, CUNTS" at the couple followed by "Your support is fucking shit." I was with my 9 year old son. Classy.

Leaving aside my usual liberal propensities on such matters, here is my solution:

1. Every ground should have a small "dickheads section" which would be housed in a cage and which would be open to both sets of supporters. In that section you would be able to get as pissed up as you like and beat the shit out of each other as much as you like. Anyone going in said section would have to sign to say that no-one other than themselves would be liable for death or injury and they would have to pay personally for any medical attention.

2. Anyone caught behaving like a dickhead outside that cage would have their balls cut off.

Sign their names?? That assumes they can do joined up writing...never gonna happen

True but it's a sad reality that these "pissed up morons" are on the terraces and cause the same upset week in week out, there was just higher percentages yesterday....

Exactly. The days of tribal football should be over. Saying people are self-righteous when they are highlighting idiocy just about puts the lid on the debate. Your team gets to Wembley, you take your kids because games like these more often than not cement supportership into young people's minds and they settle into the event and its atmosphere and they witness grown men stamping on each other's heads. I went to Bramall Lane in the seventies when hooliganism was pretty ripe but I never saw that kind of shit and the mere fact that it was between our own supporters make it even more hard to take.

Fuck hooligans. Fuck the 'romance' that they and the likes of the BBC assume they have and hold for the club.

Yesterday's game was about our supporters and our team, not them.

Why anyone would have wanted to drink up there remains a mystery to me.

 

[Bladesway]

Maybe all this is one of the reasons football fans are treated differently by the police than other sports fans. Sorry to say this but it isn't new. I remember the cup semi against the pigs and just about every major event we have ever lost at (we usually do) there are always bigger blades standing up thinking it is their job to make everyone stand and sing for 90 minutes. Usually they are middle age blokes who should know better.

Its alcohol, almost purely and utterly. It appears that if you mix it with a certain type of football fan they become a spitting seething pile of violence.

Its the reason a lot of parents who aren't football fans don't take their kids to the football.

Yesterday was, by some massive distance, the best experience I have had at Wembley / Cardiff for the big games. As a group we were immense. We were pretty much sold out and we out-sang and out-supported Hull who had large gaps of seats in their areas.

We should be remembering the feeling we had when we went back into the lead at 2-1 and when the crowd rose to salute the team after Hull's 5th. Awesome moments - yet some people have been with children whose prevailing memories will be of drunken men in red and white shirts stamping on each other.

Cunts - the whole lot of them.

 

[Tezza1889]

We stayed in sheffield yesterday for work reasons, and one of our friends daughters has school today, other things came first sadly.

Had we gone we would have had three small children sat with us and might have ended up close to this trouble, glad we stayed home.

Because, if you get upset at yesterdays game you need to reconsider your life in general, if you're so drunk you want to fight other blades because they won't do as you say, then actually carry out the threat and start punching people causing chaos distress and physical injury to your fellow blades then you need to go away and not return..

Who do you think you are!!

We had a lovely afternoon yesterday, the kids decorated the front room with blades flags scarves, balloons party poppers all the blades related stuff they could get their hands on, my mate made all the food, we cheered them all the way as we always do, and clapped them off the pitch feeling rightly proud of the team, so to hear that families had to leave for their own safety is heartbraking, hang your fat stupid heads all of you who were responsible because you probably ruined the day for most people around you, and what a day you decided to ruin, we were epic yesterday, and as some point out we finally turned up,.our future looks awesome..

I was regretfull we didn't make the trip after the game as the friends I had that I texted were over the moon, especially at half time, three goals at wembley playing out of our skin and looking every inch a match for hull and a credit to the team and manager, so bloody proud of them.

When I was younger we only had to worry about opposition knobheads trying to stick one on us, so if you started the fighting cause you deemed somebody a "plastic" "part timer" etc id like to hear your logic, please tell us why you wernt over the moon with pride like we were sat on the settee, cause your obviously a bigger blade than me, let me know please!

Tell us all, why would you want to punch a fellow blade ??

I just don't get it!!

 

[davidpinder]

I was in block 138 could see it to the left of me, can never understand fans fighting amongst themselves, also as we walked out a fan/fans were also fighting with stewards. Morons.

Like, like and like again. Likey likey like like.

I appreciate the drunk fuckwits have paid their money for their ticket, but why the fuck should they be able to behave however they want with no thoughts whatsoever for anyone else?
