Their main focus is not football, it’s getting absolutely plastered every match they attend so they can hurl abuse and generally make a nuisance of themselves. I feel sorry for the police who have to deal with these idiots on a daily basis.

Where are you getting this information from?

Not sure why you would feel sorry for the police. I personally know several dedicated football police liason officers, and have come into contact with many many others. The ones I know describe their role as a dream job. They get paid for travelling all over the place watching their favourite team, and even get drafted into England duty on a rotational basis. There is very little trouble at football these days, certainly far worse in most town centres than you get at football. Not sure when was the last time you were in Walsall town centre after dark, or even in broad daylight on a weekday afternoon when the “kids” are coming out of school, but give me a matchday anywhere

@Laundryman

I can think of Jimmy Murray, Terry Simpson, Alec Jackson (who died recently) Alun Evans, Steve Daley, Wayne Clarke, Kevin MacDonald, Gary Shaw, Derek Statham

You appear to have left Paul Merson off the list.
I’m sure this was unintentional.

As if we didn’t know, the first-half misses by Gordon, and worse, Matt show how desperate we are for forwards who will regularly score. I’m finding hard to stomach the two-year contract for Gordon. In Dylan Thomas we had someone already who can be a nuisance for defenders. We need goals.
