"La violenza in Inghilterra è stata sconfitta"... quante volte abbiamo
sentito dire questa frase? Qui di seguito ci sono gli incidenti tra tifosi

siccome i pub sono lontani dagli stadi, allora la violenza è scomparsa!

Burnley and Wigan supporters clashed with each other outside the stadium.
This incident was quickly dealt with. A group of about 300 Burnley
supporters then gathered outside a local public house. The group became
frustrated as they were prevented from confronting the Wigan supporters. As
mounted officers tried to disperse the Burnley supporters they came under
fire as bottles and coins were thrown at them. Attempts were made to drag
two mounted officers from their horses. Police officers then came under a
vicious attack that lasted for five minutes. Batons were drawn and dogs
deployed, along with support unit and additional mounted officers. Nine

CAZZO....900 righe di post IN INGLESE solo per dire che gli hooligans sono dei
coglioni? Minchia, non oso immaginare che cosa scriveresti su argomenti più
importanti di questo. La prossima volta posta "La Divina Commedia" che la
facciamo leggere a Massimo R BG. Se non altro si fa una cultura, mentre aspetta
in curva, tra una partita e l'altra!

Un simpatico omaggio a chi lo legge tutto è previsto?

 ha molto bisogno.......
ROTFL!!!!!

ha molto bisogno.......
..ed io che c'entravo?

Nessuno ha mai detto che violenza è stata sconfitta in Inghiletrra, è però
vero che è stata allontanata dagli stadio e questo ha riportato gente, in
particolare donne e bambini a vedere il calcio, ed intanto non mi sembra
poco. Così come mi sembra importante che ad uno stronzo che lancia una
monetina venga proibito a vita di mettere piede in uno stadio, mentre in
Italia puoi lanciare seggiolini come se piovesse e dopo poche settimane sei
di nuovo allo stadio, coperto dalla società di appartenenza che è
compiacente degli ultras.
Questo è quanto.
