Anyone seen the footage from their match yesterday, looked pretty crazy.

a mate of mine was at the match and said it was nuts.

I heard the wouldn't let the Millwall fans leave the stadium until all the West Ham fans where out of the area.

had a look around last night and couldn't really find much footagae of actual 'hooligan' style action.
just lots of face offs and some clips of people invading the pitch.
hardly "the worst football violence in 30 years" as the papers put it.

i still don't get it how people can get so worked up over a sporting event.

I saw some footage on the news last night. It looked pretty crazy.

the UK has nothing on the rest of the world when it comes to this sort of thing.
a good deal of the people in those clips are in their 40s and shit.

in eastern europe, argentina etc it's a huge phenomenon.

Down in Brazil it's crazy, They are probrably the worst set of fans when it comes to this type of stuff. They won't hesitate to shoot and kill you if your a rival fan.

That Ross Kemp dude did a thing on hooligans in Poland. Those dudes seemed scary as fuck.
