Why do so many fucking dimwits follow football? Even if the guy was a Chelsea fan, he doesn't deserve to be attacked - how is that difficult to comprehend? Hopefully he gets caught soon and never manages to reproduce.
What is it about football that attracts idiots (and I'm talking on a global scale here). I can't think of any other team sport where supporters have to be kept apart both outside and inside the ground.Why do so many fucking dimwits follow football?

The sort of person that whacks a stranger at a football match, is the same sort of bloke who'll whack a stranger in a nightclub for looking at him funny, and the same sort of bloke who'll pull a stranger out of his car and whack him for cutting him up at a junction.What is it about football that attracts idiots (and I'm talking on a global scale here).

If this was any other club we'd be ripping the proverbial out of them....pathetic.
Same thing happened last year at WHL nld. 4 of my pals had it off at Bruce Grove after one of them got attacked down the road by a group of Spurs fans who thought he was Woolwich.
Yeah, I thought that when I was typing it.Very unfortunate but I've no idea why your mates thought that having sex with each other would be a solution!
The bloke and his mates probably have a good idea what the fanbase were.
In the same way the thug knew who he was attacking? This is just headlines with no substnces. Where's the bit that actually backs up the fact that the thug thought he was Chelsea?
I went on a night out with a few mates some months ago, and the guy who organised it decided he'd invite three of his mates from work. They were all West Ham, and were just complete meathead scumbags. Constantly shouting and swearing, bellowing offensive bollocks out to no-one in particular. It was all I could do to ignore them and talk to a couple of my mates, most of the conversation being about why the hell did Nick invite these total pricks along.
We were walking from one pub to another, and one of these pricks just randomly started shouting at some bloke across the street. Just shouting "Oi you ****, what are you looking at? You want some you ****?" etc. This other guy had no idea what was going on and quickly walked off, at which point the shouty prick turned to his two giggling twat mates and laughed saying "Made him shit himself!" like he'd just won a fucking Olympic medal or something. The rest of the walk was filled with them shouting random slogans and football chants out on the way.
I probably should've said something but I didn't feel it was my place since these guys were invited by my mate (who strangely is one of the nicest guys in the world and I have no idea how he could be mates with these people), and frankly I didn't want them to kick off at me which it looked like they could do to anyone at any time.
Once we got to the next pub I could only give it another 20 minutes before I just said I had to go, pretended I had a call from the wife, and a couple of other guys came with me knowing full well why I was leaving. We actually stayed out and went somewhere completely different but we just couldn't stand being around dickheads like that any more.
The fact that they were West Ham obviously didn't do them any favours in life, but these three were genuinely just total dickheads, whose idea of a good night out was to shout as loudly and aggressively as possible at all times and randomly offer people out in the street for no reason. Ironically I spoke to the mate who invited them the next day and politely told him I wouldn't be coming out with those guys again, and he said that not long after we'd left all three of them had drunk themselves into a stupor after about 5 pints and had to go home at bloody 9:30pm when one of them was really ill. So it turns out they were lightweights as well.
The worst thing? These guys were aged 26, 38 and I think the oldest was 42. And yet their Saturday night plan was to act like teenagers. It just shows that age means nothing when you're a total twat.
It just shows there really is a huge amount of total dickheads out there, and lots of them follow football. There's a lot of these sort of people in manual industries - builders/sparky's/plumbers etc - no offence to anyone on here in those professions but you don't get these sorts of blokes working in an office. They can act like boorish pricks with their mates all day at work in these industries so they see nothing wrong with doing it in public too.
That's what I was wondering. If the victim had been wearing colours, it would have been clear which team he follows (at least if the attacker can distinguish between royal and navy blue). If the victim wasn't wearing colours at all, what evidence did the attacker have to link the victim to any team? Just because someone happens to be walking near a football stadium shortly before or after a game doesn't mean they're going to the game or they went to it. When you also consider the fact that there's been no video or still photo of the incident or suspect released (even though there are plenty of CCTV cameras in the area), it all looks a bit strange. Note: I'm not trying to trivialise this assault or condone or excuse the perpetrator.In the same way the thug knew who he was attacking? This is just headlines with no substnces.

So u think they already know who it is?There is a good reason for not publicising a photo of the assailant. There are very strict procedures around identification of suspects. If the investigating officers believe they will identify and catch him/them the the victim may need to view an Identification parade and if it's not done properly the case could be lost in court.
