Egypt suspends football league after Cairo stadium deaths http://english.alarabiya.net/en/New...t-police-football-ultras-clashes-kill-14.html (Bet Elmo's glad he's here....)
This puts things into perspective, especially when the worst we get is a few middle fingers stuck up at us and ****er gestures from the away fans, people shouldn't be going to a football match and never return home again, horrible.
Did that proposed friendly at the KC in aid of an earlier Egyptian football disaster ever take place?
Imagine if Humberside Police had tear gas and guns at their disposal at football matches? "He was having a lot off so I shot him". ( a City fan was taken to court, fined and banned, because he was in the words of the arresting officer "acting in a boisterous manner, although not involved in any disorder, and having a lot off").
It is terrible, and hard to comprehend how there can be so many deaths and injuries over people attending a football match. No. I'm amazed how it's just forgotten about. When you say you're gonna raise money for a cause like that, you'd hope it actually happens. Mind you they'd probably have got the Andy Dawson treatment from the owners and made a loss on it anyway.
Can we as supporters do something in aid of this? Is there anyway we can push Mooney into getting some sort of friendly sorted? We are the only club to my knowledge with Egyptian link, we should be doing more to help. Maybe a friendly tournament with us and three Egyptian teams? Maybe invite them over during the international break? Would also allow us a look at their youngsters\best players and give them a chance to play some football. Allam would love it, if he's so benevolent it's exactly what he should be organising.
They do have access to tear gas, or CS to give it it's Sunday name. Well they did until around 4 years ago. Now they have pepper spray. Can't say I've seen anyone get sprayed at a City game. You?
They may have had access to but I don't believe the officers on duty carried it. There were some occasions, not at City, when a few canisters of tear gas may have been justified.
They're not the same size as a family sized tin of Mr Sheen. They carry them on their belts and are no bigger than a decent sized Lincolnshire sausage. Could still cause some serious pain mind.
How the frigging hell do you know what a family sized tin of Mr Sheen looks like? Don't tell me you're one of those metrosexual househusbands ffs.
He compared it to a family sized tin of air freshener as found in Carmines khazi. I'd give it 10 minutes if I were you.
