have you ever got into a fight at a football match?

[jaffka]

Once got locked up at Osborne Road.

I was rather unlucky really as we went down and someone spiked my drinks, being totally lost I ended up in the away end where I was arrested due to getting into a bit of a fracas whilst shouting for the whites and not realising I was surrounded by O's.

At the nick it was also apparent that I was wearing someone elses jacket which had a kosh in it and a couple of wraps of cocaine.

When the police searched my home my flat mate who had told me a false name had fled the country but forgot his kilo of cocaine.

The authorities did not believe me and I got found guilty but was innocent.

[thebish]

just wondering , has anyone here ever got into a fight or a confrontation at a football match?

it's a little known fact that I used to be one of the wearers of the lofty-mascot suit... I got into a fight with the wolves mascot...

Really?

yeah (or rather - no!)

[Salford Trotter]

Got chased through the dark back streets of Burnley one night...but got away, just !

We were coming round the front of the Turf Moor in the early 80s and a group of us were surrounded by some six-fingered not rights at the front of the ground. Thankfully me and my good looks i wasn't in the firing line of fists and Doc Martens and got away scot free. Other than that Crystal Palace away in the 80's too was very squeaky bum time when you realise fear smells

How long did you go to jail for? Must have been several years at least for that much cocaine?

He's still in. Typing on his laptop, surrounded by camp followers. Him being the King of the Wing.

Ah the old 'got found guilty but i was innocent' chestnut...

Shameful to admit it now, but I used to hang around on the periphery of these kind of shenanigans back in the day. No idea why, as I couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag. Got chased several times by bigger groups of rival fans but remember experiences at Oldham & Burnley as being particularly frightening.

Walking from Picadilly station across Manchester to Victoria with a small group of Wanderers fans once we were accosted by a few Reds. A few scuffles later and the Reds ran off only to regroup and come back in far greater numbers as we reached the slope near to the Arndale. A couple of the real hard guys that were with us ordered us all to stand our ground. I was absolutely bricking it and was already thinking what songs would be nice at my wake when to my amazement it worked. About 60 or 70 Reds being chased off in the city centre by about 20 Bolton fans!

Silly times

I always knew you wee that way inclined.

beggars cannot be choosers inside, and anyway its a power thing...

[Ianmooreslovechild]

Got lamped at Doncaster on the same black eye that I'd had thumped the previous weekend in a random act of violence in town. Still got the ring mark from from it.Bizarrely that's the only two times I've been punched in 45 years and it was on consecutive weekends. Word to the wise, if a meathead asks you the time in Doncaster drag your knuckles and feign a tyke accent

[Prufrock]

I've seen the odd fight,but nowt much. Also, piss poor imagination, so sorry.

Mainly scallies acting hard. Only time I've been 'involved' was at Scott's (probably; I mean, grammatically) after Klas scored the winner and got sent off. Stokies wandering around towards train station, and some daft cow outside Harvester starts shouting 'White Army'. Kicked off, everyone came out to watch, we stubbed the smokes, and wandered in to an empty bar. Win.

Otherwise: Mate in first year of uni was a Brighton fan. Watched them away at Millwall (Millwall love the gays) go 0-1 down, down to ten men, equalise in the last minute, and win on penalties. Johnstone's Paint Trophy game in midweek, about 4,000 there, never seen so many Police Alsations. Frickning.

[William the White]

Wasn't a fight... wasn't at a match... But after Everton had beaten us at Burnden in 1960s (again), walking my 15 yr old morose way down the Manny Road, an Everton fan, totally casually, stuck the nut on me and broke my nose... And sauntered away while I tried to cope with copious blood and my mates, wisely, looked after me rather than seeking 'revenge'...

We used to go looking for it. Not big, not clever, not proud.

Don't decry your experience pegleg. This is what a lot of young men did back in the day. Me? I removed myself from the arena. I didn't get it, but a lot of my mates at the time did.

Celebrate the fact you recognise now what you did was wrong, but in the context of the time it was what (some) people did.

I've mentioned before - some guys I know have done time for football hooliganism. The one thing that unites them is that they'd no interest in football whatsoever!!!!

I remember reading that on another thread Bruce and being quite surprised. Some of the lads I knew who were into all that were real die hard Wanderers fans. Often, trouble was avoided by the improved mood after that rarest of things in those days - an away win!
