Disgusting...put's football in the gutter

Trouble is banning those involved will make no difference as they are not football supporters anyway

I think the Met are partly to blame for this. They have known of this fixture for 2 or 3 weeks now and the planning was absolutely shocking.

Sad to see however there are a few facts,

FACT: There was always going to be trouble at this game, it didn’t matter how many police were there and looking at pictures it was under policed.
FACT: The West Ham fans did not attack Millwall fans inside the ground they jumped on the pitch goading like morons but wasn’t exactly “disorder” in a violent respect,  because they were not fighting on the pitch, just a pain in the back side and got excited. I didnt see the West Ham fans charge at the Millwall fans (however I could be wrong). Kenny Jacket said his players did not leave the pitch just stepped aside.
FACT: Most of the people causing trouble, did not have tickets to the match and therefore were not in the ground, Millwall away fans have to be registered with the club and cannot travel unless they have an away day card so any trouble was outside the ground not really inside.

A man was stabbed, unfortunate and why someone would bring a knife to a football match is beyond me. Compared to previous encounters between the 2 teams this was relatively peaceful in comparison due to only 10 arrests (so far). This one case of disorder is not the 70’s or 80’s and is an isolated incident between two hated rivals who have not played each other for years. Football is not returning to what it was as according to the news.

Someone I work with is a West Ham supporter and was at the game and said it was a great atmosphere inside but outside the trouble was kept to one area as opposed to all over the place. He feels the media has sensationalised the story as it sells papers etc. but he did say most of the problems were caused by West Ham fans after Millwall fans were in a pub singing about Calum Davenport who was stabbed on Sunday Night.

Well West Ham should be ashamed....Leeds are no Angels but didnt steep that low last season when Millwall went to Elland Road.....never liked West Ham...been there a few times with The Town and not once enjoyed the experience.

that has to be one of the worst hooligan scenes since the 80's when it was really bad...

dont know if any of you have or did watch the doccumentry on BBC about the england hooligans in the 2006 world cup. over 3,000 were banned and still trouble happened every night when england fans were there. An ex Stoke Hooligan said on there teh only was to stop trouble at football is by cutting all mens arms and legs off between teh age of 16-40.

by that im trying to say i dont think the police will ever get the upper hand over the stupid idiots that cause trouble in and around football matches at places such as: leeds, west ham, millwall, stoke etc

Indeed.

If it was such a good atmosphere why they fuck were people leaving before the end of the first half?
