I appreciate some of the points you've made but whether it's done on purpose or not (personally i think you know what you're doing) you're so damn condescending. You've named certain people knowing full well that you'll get a negative response.
Ben if you read my post you will see I have clearly pointed out its some of us older generation fans who might have to take a bit of the blame for the younger ones to be filled with so much hatred and dislike for fellow football fans from other Clubs. This as I have pointed out is evident on our forum here with the common use of the word Scum, the thing which does baffle me is that there is a thread condemning Manchester United fans for using vile chants towards Hillsborough and the same people condemning United fans are in turn using vile words like scum to describe them, if that's not hypocritical I don't know what is, you honestly couldn't make it up could you.
I think there is a definable direct link with people in general who do start off with the vile chants against one another and it usually leads to the situation we found ourselves back in the 80s with fan violence, police escorts to and from grounds and fans being kept behind an hour after the game had finished until the home fans had drifted away, this was the football I grew up with and have no wish to return to those dark days, that's why I think these types of postings needs to be nipped in the bud, just my thoughts tho...
