Yeah, I got that. But a father 'delighted' that his daughter is having under age sex, surely a case for social services?

Re: Who used to enjoy the aggro?
If you were not part of it, you will never understand it now and will of course be disgusted by it all, i wouldnt worry yourselves about it, its over now, everyone can pop along to watch the game, have a jolly day out and then go home, maybe grab a skinny caramel macchitato and a raspberry and white chocolate muffin and from costa on the way to the car
you missed a hell of a time though :wave::kev:

Did you used to fight people for fun? I don’t see why you’re saying people would be disgusted by it when all people are saying is they don’t get it.
Did the fighting make it more enjoyable than boro away in the FA Cup? Or Leicester away in the play off semi?

Let it go...the resident forum buffoon winner for the last 5 years aren’t you? I’d hazard a guess Matt has never hit someone either, unless in self defence, is that allowed saint croesy?

So explain to me what aggro was if you weren't fighting?
I don't think I'm being an arse hole about it am I? It's a genuine question.

Re: Who used to enjoy the aggro?
An activity for the stupid, ugly and unfulfilled. How anyone can admit to enjoying this as a grown man is embarrassing.

Enjoying this now and enjoying this then are two different entities.
It was a great buzz though.

It might shock you to learn that when it comes to watching football there is a middle ground between trying to kill others for supporting a different team, and skinny jeans and chocolate muffins

Re: Who used to enjoy the aggro?
My thoughts on the hooliganism in the 70’s and 80’s is that it was carried out by 10% hard as **** bastards, and 90% wannabe hard as **** bastards, who thrived on safety in no’s.
Scaring old folk and kids was a bit cowardly.
Id have had more respect and willingness to join in in my youth, if they’d done it the east european way, where they’d meet up in a bit of country side with no fuzz or innocent folk about, and just have a good old fashioned square go.
Running amok through city centres, scaring innocent folk shitless was never for me.

Re: Who used to enjoy the aggro?
I was never anywhere near getting involved, but went to a lot of home and away late 70s/80s, and you just got used to it being part of the territory, and planned accordingly.

Re: Who used to enjoy the aggro?
I was invited on my first away game, when I was 13 a group of boys a year above me I played footy with found out I had a season ticket with my dad.
This was 2008. They were wana be hooligans, wore Burberry, loved racists and sexist slurs and introduced me to drinking, I had not been brought up like that, was a bit out of my depth. But absolutely loved it!
we never really had a proper 'fight' hooliganism was dying at this point in time, just bouncing around and throwing stones/ bottles.
I quickly adopted the culture, and it was my coming of age story I guess, suddenly I felt more confident in school, like people respected me more for having 'tough mates' I had all my firsts as a teenager, because of that lifestyle. beer, smoke,drugs ect
It all culminated in 2010 at Chealsea away, couple of boys we knew got in serious trouble and combined with starting to mature and the fallout, we just all went out own ways in life.
Looking back, we were idiots and wouldn't want my kids behaving like that, but I don't regret it, it was an important part of who I am today. I see groups of teenagers like that today and cant help but smile as I walk past because I feel more nostalgia than intimidation.

In the 80’s it wasn’t 10% proper nutters, I’d say it was more like 40%. I knew quite a few of them, some decided to stop going by the 90’s saying it was “over”. The bouncing posturing stuff arrived in the 00’s. Completely different times

I've not witnessed what I think of as hooliganism at City games for ten years or more, but I did from the mid sixties to, say, the mid to late noughties and I'd say the 10 per cent figure is about right. i accept that, as someone who preferred to steer clear of trouble, I haven't seen as much "agro" as others, but what I did see was, more often than not, more posing, goading and standing off than what I'd call fighting - did hear of a couple of cases of City fans being attacked by our "hard men" in the eighties and early nineties mind.

I suppose it depends what that person has done. I certainly have. Although i guess you're talking about Hooligan behaviour rather than generally?

I saw innocent women, children and old people trampled upon and beaten up, just because a group of morons wanted to massage their own egos and make themselves look big in front of their ‘mates’. Most of them weren't even interested in the football or Cardiff City. Good riddance to those days.
Excellent post and absolutely spot on.

Re: Who used to enjoy the aggro?
I remember a 12 year old girl who was a Bristol Rovers fan being hit with a brick at Eastville. A police officer who contracted meningitis after being spat at in Torquay.
Numerous occasions of single fans being targeted by a large group of hooligans.
Mindless cases of damaging trains, buses, pubs etc.
Most of these cases were perpetrated by cowards who hunted in packs.
Don't even get me started on casual's, most were middle class w@nkers who couldn't throw a punch. A lot of them were fantasists.
Culture my ass. The biggest bunch of gobshites you'd ever see was on a Saturday afternoon.

They were definitely not mostly 'middle class'. Don't believe the media hype that they were solicitors; stockbrokers; teachers etc. Yeah, perhaps a very small minority were, however, they were predominantly from working class backgrounds.

No no, they were all middle class gentlemen residing mainly from areas like grangetown, the docks, Ely, Llanrumney, fairwater to name a few. There’s little point trying to explain to those who have only read about it like Louth
