The relationship between police & footie fans is one of imstitutionalsed class snobbery. It's £@#&!mg ridiculous.

Football has more than it's fair share of scumbags, it's unfortunate that some are brought up with the notion that a human being sat with opposition fans deserves to be attacked. Alcohol and segregation only exacerbate the problem and it's no surprise that the Police act the way they do.

Police about 50 years to late - if had been as proactive all those years ago may have prevented all the hooliganism of the 70s & 80's. Most football fans are ok; it's the small minority who go looking for trouble or can't hold their beer & suck the rest of the people in. I've no problem with the police keeping & monitoring records of football fans but has to be fair & structured. Kinda yellow red card - two incidents and you're banned from football matches for x years - then ok to attend, but anymore trouble and banned for 2x years. Personally I want all people with any violent tendency banned from football matches,.... along with shit fans, any other glory hunter fans, sky reporters, media, referees, And any other people I don't like!

Society has its fair share of scumbags more like and they just use football as an excuse . Large numbers of people go to Rugby matches where fans are mixed together and yet no trouble. It seems the attraction with football is more of these scumbags can get together as its more localised and tribal.

Unfortunately the police has a share of scumbags too. It's a shame because it tars some of the good ones in the same way that the scumbag fotty fans tar the rest of us.
