I've been reading a book called Scally about an Evertonian and his mob of numbsculls who travelled the country looking for other numbsculls to do battle with. To be fair I got bored with it rather quickly and won't be reading the rest of it. It pretty much confirmed what I knew anyway that there are nutters the length and breadth of the country who like nothing better than to scrap with others of their ilk.
Pissed couple, trying to claim there was a third drive who ran off. fooling nobody. That extension needs a rebuild. It's ****ed!
Pretty sure I've read that. He seemed to have a vendetta against Newcastle. Often used to talk about fights until they got locked in a pub at Newcastle. When they went to go home, he said all of Newcastle's bad boys and their grandmothers were waiting outside for them. ****in tossers.
I'm going to ask some of my old mates who used to wear Pringle jumpers if they ever had any run-ins with Everton. If they were anything like Liverpool they'd get their young uns to trick you into chasing them down a back alley where a bigger mob was waiting. Daft ****es.
At the end of the day football is a tribal thing & fans have battled for decades now. I don't think it will ever go away. What you have to remember is that a lot of lads from different clubs will know each other from England games where they'll join up. If they want to organise a dust up at club level, if they have any sense at all, (& some have very good jobs), all they have to do is use pay as you go phones which are cheap & untraceable. Not trying to glorify it & was never much into it myself but I knew lads who were. I'd rather the so called firms meet up on some desolate industrial land than twat some poor bloke walking from the game with his son.
Billy, all the lads I knew who were into it had an edge and still do....even though they are now 'retired'. That's the way they are, they can't help themselves.
I know fine well it does. Men from different groups will always want to fight. Go back to the 60's with the mods & the rockers, not football I know but still two different tribes if you like. A couple of years ago when we drew Boro in the cup there was talk among a few old mates that I used to go to games with years ago that some of the old Frontline lads might be coming out of retirement & they had some handy ****ers back then. Some of those blokes will be in their 50's now but I imagine they'd still enjoy a bit of a ruck.
