if you havent seen it yet Geoff, check out Football Factory, very cool movie with all kinds of cockney english hooliganism abound.

I know little to nothing about Hooliganism, but I can recomend the 2nd Stars and Stripes record "One Man Army" if you havent heard it. Lots of talk about pubs & soccer.

Watch Green St. Hooligans as well, another good hoolagin movie.

There's a computer game called Hooligans where you take your mob across Europe trashing everything. Its fun.

that movie is terrible. so americanized.

the life of a casual is also alot more than just drinking beer and listening to skinhead music...

DeathByForce - 2-14-2006 at 03:18 PM

I thought Green Street and Football Factory were both pretty well done.

Hooligans, the culture of team supporters who get in fights with other team's supporters and just generally cause a ruckus.

Technically speaking, Philly is no stranger to this sort of thing. Philly's pretty notorious for it's own brand of hooliganism.

Oh yeah, hooliganism is definitely a generation organized thing... it is pretty fascinating. I should look into it more. I just remember reading this article from the Guardian that was talking about how Americans think the British are such violent hooligans and then the author cited incidents at Eagles games.

I'll have to put the above movies into my Netflix queue if they have them.

JawnDiablo - 2-15-2006 at 12:14 AM

this sounds intersting
i work closely with people who are from Ireland
some of these fuckers, when it comes to soccer matches and new castle, make the worst philadelphia eagles fans pale in comparison...my ex (sons mom) bartends in an irish pub here in UD, and on the days where the soccer matches are televised them dudes are drinkin at 7 Am and fighting one another arguing over whos team is better and to fuck off and such....then again maybe this isnt what yer talkin bout...i havent slept well in days...

DaveMoral - 2-15-2006 at 12:21 AM

Oh, that's definitely part of it juan. It just get's crazier, I'm sure you've heard about the riots and burning stadiums and what not.

newbreedbrian - 2-15-2006 at 12:43 AM

football factory was really good. i enjoyed green street for what it was, some decent violence in there. i'm assuming you've read some of the ST publishing stuff and the old richard allen books.

i never read the richard allen stuff cuz i dont like fiction at all
what's some of the books on ST publishing?

upyerbum - 2-15-2006 at 08:56 AM

I went to a match in Bath. They certainly get into it.
Soccer just bores the fuck out of me. Hit someone for fucks sake.

Voodoobillyman - 2-15-2006 at 10:41 AM

Real Sports with Bryant gumble had a cool episode about racism within the football (soccer) culture and it focused on alot of the different hooligan clubs. The shit they do is completely outrageous, they are some of the craziest fuckers to walk the earth fo sho.

for ST stuff, try "Casual", "Saturdays Heroes", or "A Boys Story"

I heard that in France they burn cars hundreds of thousands of 'em in a year, mostly after football matches....
