Match Day Thread Hull City v Sheff Utd

Absolutely terrifying. The word brawl hardly begins to describe it.

 

I think the reaction to any City fans in the Shoreham End would have been far worse, from both fans and police.

 

Did I say it doesn't happen? I think I pretty much said the exact opposite in saying I don't understand why it DOES happen. How odd.

 

You don't go to football, do you? You can't as you don't understand the passion it engenders.Or maybe you are one of the sit down shut up brigade?

 

How odd you couldn't understand the point I was making. Odd but unsurprising.

 

Ha ha. I was literally waiting for you to mention standing and sitting! You are a parody of yourself. Do you read posts or just copy, paste and hope it fits?

Why does passion have to result in violence?

 

The 'point' you were making was that these things happen. My query was why. You added literally nothing to my query. Thanks for your assistance. It was as helpful as the time you told me there are no Puffins at Flamborough then proceeded to query why I was doing anything outside of Hull. That was odd too.

 

The point is that these things do happen. Knowing that, steps should be taken to prevent it happening. Which, unsurprisingly the SMC fell short on.

I would have thought telling someone the correct location of the puffins, Bempton cliffs, would be helpful to anyone wishing to see them as they would be disappointed if they went to Flamborough.

 

Well, passion is more likely to result in violence than supine behaviour.

I take it you are one who tuts at people standing or showing any emotion and think a football match should be treated like a visit to the theatre?

 

Oh god. You still don't acknowledge the presence of puffins a Flamborough Cliffs? Yes Bempton also has some but Flamborough has too. Heck, Flamborough even had a Puffin Festival last year. Seriously, take a trip. There are loads on the cliffs with the Kittiwakes, Guillemots, Razorbills, etc.

Stop trying to shoehorn in your obsession with standing, tutting, etc. I'm not interested in that 'debate'. People can enjoy it how they like. As long as it doesn't include punching somebody.

I don't think simply saying 'passion' is enough. I am passionate about stuff. Never punched anybody because they have slightly different focuses for their passions though. I'm interested in the mindset. Why people think football gives reason for violence. What is going through their minds when swinging fists.

 

If you want to give sure of seeing plenty of puffins go to Bempton. My next door neighbour is involved with helping at Bempton and a keen birdwatcher.

 

I don't think you even go to City. Just enjoy stirring things. Probably live in Norway.

 

cut n paste from hdm comments...

"Sold out our allocation straight away, we could've easily bought another 10,000 tickets.
Loads of us were sat in the East stand, all joined Hull city as members with no question as to the address given (I live in Hull) as many just gave Sheffield addresses.
The trouble in the North stand was one fan! He celebrates when we scored the first, no problem, but when we scored the second he celebrates again and was set upon. He did a good job looking after himself but in fairness shouldn't have been throwing punches at the steward as he was being led out.

We were in the East stand and after the scuffle kicked off I asked a steward if I could move into the away end as my daughter was getting a bit scared, they shoved about 40 of us in there."

All to easy for away fans to get home tickets....after next season that won't be a problem in league 1 though.

 

Give it a rest- you are getting tedious

 

In what way? I've only replied to comments. Not even many comments. I'm just trying to get into the mindset of why some people get violent at football matches. Not managed to get any idea yet of what it is that makes people do it. What's your opinion? Do you ever fight at games? If so what is your thought process?

 

It may well depend on how many stands they close. There have been rumours the North Stand or the East Stand will be closed next season.

 

So, basically, the police will be engaged in their favourite pastime, spending time tracking down and banning Hull City fans. Meanwhile what happens to the Sheffield United fans who, aided by the ineptness of the SMC, were in breach of ground regulations? They are escorted to join the other Sheffield fans and return home untroubled by Humberside's finest. I wonder if the FA will be having words about the police endangering fans and ignoring ground safety regulations by putting g extra fans in an area where all the tickets had been sold?

 

There are signs on the turnstiles clearly saying HOME FANS ONLY. The Sheff U fans knew exactly what they were doing and it is they who the police should be concentrating on. Plus those who sold them the tickets and placed every home fan in a volatile situation. No home fans should even be questioned. They are members who have the right to be in that stand. If it was City fans in the away section then it would be a different scenario, but it wasn't.
Sheff U fans were also in the West Stand but they did not draw attention to themselves by waving their arms about and gobbing off.
