The reason, of course, is that the Old Bill charge the club for graceing us with their protective presence. They decide how much to charge the club and won't allow the game to go ahead unless we pay. It's called blackmail. I know Wigan have had a big problem with this and I'm on their side. This is why nobody likes the police and one of the reasons that even the white middle classes think they are ****s.(which they are). Welcome to the world of the black teenage boy. The Old Bill can treat you like **** and you can do nothing about it. In this country Justice is a commodity. The more money you have the more justice you can have. Effectively this is an official demand for a "Brown Envelope". Where is the News of The World when you need them? ACAB
Well thats made my mind up, Liverpool friendly it is. It is strange how only 2 weeks before the game they can cancel a game. I would be extremely angry if I was a Feyenoord fan and had paid for my ferry, travel and ticket. Humberside police losing more respect or what little respect they have again. ****'s public safety my arse.
Not 606 - Now no different from any other forum populated by ignorant chavs and led by someone who's supposed to be a moderator.
I don't know how you've come to that conclusion, but you clearly haven't done much to transform this 'chav' board with your 2 posts
I bet we have nearly as many Dutch lads in the ground on any given match day as we'd have for the friendly.
If you don't like it, why don't you create your own forum, and then you can talk to yourself 'till your hearts content? Or, as moderator, would you ban yourself for talking to the king of chavs, i.e., yourself? **** off you cock!
They'll have to go some to beat their piss poor effort for the M'boro FA Cup game a few years ago. It's the worst policing I've ever seen or heard of, the only explanation for their conduct that day is that they desperately wanted it to kick off. At least the silly **** at Sunderland that was about to pull his baton on a little kid until he realised he was on his own and there were a few of us about to stop him was just one plod, HP for the M'boro game must have had every copper, every BTP copper and every hobby bobby from North York. and Humberside Police drafted in for the day to be ****s.
So annoyed by this. Barnsley cancelled too, who tell a bit more to the story: Following a recommendation from the South Yorkshire Police Barnsley Football Club have cancelled the game against Feyenoord on 23rd July 2011. The high likelihood of large-scale disorder and grave consequences, not only to the Club, but also to the town centre of Barnsley is considered to be a threat to public safety.
Why does everyone (most) blame the police - at the end of the day it say's 'Tigers cancel Feyenoord game' - if your all that pissed of - complain to them - slagging the police is always the easy option, and doesn't it say something if Barnsley have also cancelled the game.
Well it probably would have been a crap game anyway, I'm going to head up to York instead and have a few days going from there across the moors to Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, back through Scarbrough and Filey and down to Hull. It's probably a good thing it was cancelled it would only be a kick around anyway and I'll probably have more fun seeing the yorkshire coast
"the match has been cancelled in consultation with Police on the grounds of public safety" i.e. police saying trouble will be caused by fans. Hence blaming the police, as is the case in the Barnsley situation. Yet more health and safety overkill. Also why do people find that anyone who has dislike for the police is a "chav" which I can safely say i'm not. I personally dislike the police for various reasons some being the new upstarts that seem to go mad with the power the job brings, putting up sneaky speed traps down boothferry road in Hessle (why it's a 30 I have no idea) and the fact that the majority are ****'s.
Both clubs are saying it's on police "recommendation". Having been working in an off licence the day of the Leeds friendly when they "requested" us all to not sell alcohol I know the terms "recommended" and "requested" mean the police have basically said "do this or else". I also remember West Yorkshire Police trying to cop out of the blame over the attempt to bubblewrap our New Year's Eve game at Elland Road by blaming the Safety Advisory Group only to have it pointed out they were talking **** because everybody else on the SAG had publically declared that they were opposed to it. Because that's pointless and will only succeed in making the coppers piss themselves laughing at the naivety of the person complaining for thinking it would accomplish something. Get the police with a crowd, particularly a football crowd where the press love to brand everyone as hooligans whether it's true or not (eh HDM making up fights and arrest figures and then not apologising despite the police denying any of it happened) and they think they can do whatever they want. Unfortunately due to the crooked press in this country they can, because unless it's against people of middle England the press help them cover up any wrongdoing by blaming it on the other party. The BBC's coverage of the student protests in London on the first day there was violence being the prime example. Up to about half four they were reporting as eyewitnesses that all the trouble had been caused by members of the written press trying to infiltrate the crowd to stir it up amongst them (and promptly being booted out of the group by the students) and by police baton charging the crowds they'd kettled over trivial offences they were causing in the first place. After half four (ie when people started getting home from work or picking the kids up) it changed and it was "students clashing with police" that caused the violence according to their reports, with no blame being definitively apportioned to the police so that it would look like it was the students who caused it, which the majority of people think is the case.
Feyernoord have a reputation for hooligans, they got kicked out of the Europa league a couple of seasons ago. I wouldn't be surprised if the police had intercepted some info on a load of them coming over on North Sea Ferries, imagine, they get pissed on the boat and invade the city centre pubs en masse & City firm fancy a pop at a big name..
wonder if its anything to do with feyenoord f-side hooligans? well big in rotterdam. could imagine lottsa cloggies coming to ull 4 the game.will b many disapointed feyenoord fans who will have booked the weekend. are feyenoord still playing barnsley?? if so how do there police cope woth such crowd control?
