West Ham vs Millwall

[Fordy]

Or when we went to Millwall pre season 2001.

 

[Kingellesar]

To be fair to West Ham, they did beat...MILLWALL.

I mean, we'd all do the same at White Hart Lane if we beat Millwall.....:-?

It wasn't any different down near Elland Road when Millwall came to town last season.

Leeds fans are all a bit wrong in the head though anyways, aye? :shrug:

If you put another teams shirt on, lets say a Bear, thousands would die trying to fight it.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Disgraceful, disappointing, degrading.

Thugs, not true football supporters, who need to be put away.

This just has to be West Ham's annus horribilis. Relegation would be the icing on the cake for them.

Their firm is still going strong yes, but what I mean is there was full scale rioting around Elland Road but hardly any coverage was available. They're not all wrong in the head at all, I went to school with many.

Even Spurs' hooligan firm is still going strong though.

I've heard the South Tottenham Blacks are particularly nasty.

I watched Lord of the Rings the other week - nearly lost my job as i didn't have enough sick days to cover my journey to Mordor and back (and trust me, Wednesdays are murder getting a bus back from there).

that f*cking film...

I'm kidding but, whilst i can see why the film could be blamed in some way,

1) most of those involved would've known about the rivalry anyway.
2) most of those involved wouldn't have set out with a planned ruck on their agenda, but knew that if it kicked off they would get involved.
3) most of those involved were just plain thick as fook thugs who wanted to look tough and will now be arrested and wear that conditional discharge as a medal.

It's not necessarily the actual hooligans that are to blame here, it's more the riled up masses, like a bunch of excited chimps in great numbers. Yes they were acting like rabied up monkeys but it begs the question, what were the police thinking giving the job of co-ordinating their forces to the real life equivalent of Gorman in Aliens.

It's plain to see, from the way the forces on the ground were both laid out and reacted, it was virtual chaos from the off. Not enough uniforms where they needed to be, apparently no co-operation between the stewards and the old bill and, once outside the ground, the police weren't geared up to prevent a situation developing, they were geared up and positioned to quell a situation.

No prevention was evident other than a few "cannon fodder" bobbies.

I blame Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Bloody Dungans.

What about
- I.D.
- The Firm
- The Football Factory
- Rise of the Foot Soldier
- Cass
- That new Firm film?

For me it's no coincidence that West Ham has attracted a lot of new muggy wannabee hooligans, and most of the above films are based on West Ham's ICF firm.

:lol: my post was sarcasm btw

But i can also see why people could blame the film

 

[Legend10]

I feel sorry for both West Ham and Millwall, it quite simply isn't their fault!

I'm hoping that most parents were aware of the tension and risk of problems due to the match that they didn't bring their children.

after the 3rd west ham goal the first person on the pitch from the bobby moore lower was a kid, cudnt of been more than 5yrs old doing the windmill with his arms.

 

[$hoguN]

It is Millwall and West Ham's fault tho... Mass riot like the ones which occurred last night, are sparked by a few main perpetrators, which will all have been identified by clubs previously as culprits for hooliganism or related problems

Infact my dad is a barber and he cut two blokes hair who have prior charges for hooliganism who went to the game last night...
