oh i enjoy the game, once the football starts. The rest of it just goes over the top. You don't see liverpool police having to escort fans to and from Everton. That's the sort of thing I would like to see, not the wife beating response in Glasgow (at the other extreme)
I certainly did not enjoy Moran hitting the winner, whereas I thoroughly enjoyed watching Colin Clarke miss a hat full of chances before we got two. BUT after than game, I walked back to my car, parked in Southampton, no feel of threat but very empty streets.
Once it gets to the stage of fans being threatened with serious injury or people waiting on bridged to drop bricks through the windscreen of a coach, that has nothing to do with football.
And seeing a pupil of mine locked up cos he got carried away and lobbed half a brick at the police, was not a good thing either. Incidentally, that took place a distance from fratton park too.
