[QUOTE="McTallshort, post: 615061, member: 53362"] Its a form of tribalism, at its least dangerous its a couple of drunken chavs arguing over a refereeing decision at its most dangerous its a very organised and brutal game in which 2 different sets of supporters will try and get one over on the other. its largely a thing of the past in Britain but if you go to any game the tension is always close to the surface, there is real hatred among certain sets of fans which is rarely challenged by pundits and ex players. The real problem areas are places like Italy where groups know as Ultras form the hard core of fans and its their job to attack opposition teams Ultras whenever the chance arises. Also Eastern Europe, in places like Poland they have 30 on 30 clashes between rival fans. Why does football attract it? Dont know really perhaps because certain types of behavior that are excepted at Football games are not at other sports games and this draws a certain type of individual to a game. But its not a culture I particularly like or feel a part of. [/QUOTE]
