Are Football Fans Hooligans?
 

An interesting read here, it's quite long though.

Everyone?s equal in the eyes of the law ? unless you are a football fan

Are we seeing the emergence of a two-tier legal system in which football fans are treated as a class apart? Martin Cloake and solicitor Darren White examine the evidence and ask whether we should have cause for concern.

The police have 2 easy targets where they can basically get away with what they want, motorists and football fans.

Any catching of a serious criminal is a bonus :mad:

You guys should watch hockey ... there is no trouble identifying the hooligans. They are the ones wearing skates and swinging big sticks.:alright:

Wouldn't know about that ... I'm a Habs fan:alright:

But talking of hooligans, I still have fond memories of Dave "Cement Head" Semenko ... amazing what he could do on the ice with no brain and no athletic ability;):D

Forget about football ... Canada beats the U.S. 1-0 to advance to the final:alright::alright::alright: What a game .... bring on the beer, eh.:thepint::thepint::thepint:

Hey, all you football fans, we still dominate our game. We may not win every time. We may even lose to a strong Swedish team in the final. But, in our sport, all opponents have to take us seriously.

Having said that, I already have my scarf, hat, and English flag ready for the World Cup.
