Modern football types! I'm 58 you ignorant pillock. Saw plenty of ultra-violence when I was a kid. Cold Blow Lane in particular was a hot bed of violence in the 60s and 70s. Saw plenty there and elsewhere.

[????]

I am 54 and went home and away with West Ham from the late 70s you think I am not ITK Malambu? Fook me I even know a few proper faces......

...I think that time is well past it sell date as most of my (our) generation do

[maxxi]

Ditto the above really - I've seen violence both in and around grounds, some of it quite stomach churning - don't think I've ever seen anything as polite as a "brawl" though.

Certainly not one which was "exciting and nobody got hurt", maybe you're thinking of a John Wayne film?

malumbu, if you'd bothered to engage with posters on this thread you would've worked out for yourself that most of us are old school. Save your condescending comments for the Brexit voters...

Sense of humour failure my dear friends. Just pointing out a bit of an over-reaction by the media. Obviously the point had been made before.

Brawl refers to loosely equally matched groups where no real harm is done. If you want some a real story when the London clubs came down about a 100 of them would stand in their Pringles/Stay prest/etc then start chanting and get chased, led onto the pitch, and receive a warm round of applause from the away end as they were marched round to join them.

It got a bit silly after Man U got relegated in 74 when they suddenly got the reputation of trouble and picked up more fans. Glory hunters were Leeds and Liverpool before that.

When they came back in 75 there were pitch invasions every away match when they came back up. Rember one at Derby but it was almost dancing with 18 year olds with long hair, short jumpers and baggies trying to kick each other. Then the Man U fan who fell through the roof at Carrow Road.

Of course there was far more unsavoury stuff and generally glad it has gone.

Always had to be careful at Upton Park even in modern times.

There's a famous football manager in this pic, I'd never have got him...

[Otta]

The guy on the left?

[Jah Lush]

The fat waiter? (though not so fat back then). Rafael Ben?tez.

[red devil]

No, that would be even harder, although I'd guessed at Terry McDermot :)...

[Jah Lush]

The guy on the right looks a bit like Juande Ramos.

[Alan Medic]

Is he considered famous though? There's something about the guy on the right, though I can't place his face yet.

[????]

Bob Dylan was on the bench?!

[red devil]

Yes it's Rafa, you should've been a copper Jah. Minus the specs and goatee too. The bloke on the right does look familiar, probably an ex-player...

Yep, he was in shock so never said anything...

Paul Fletcher on bbc is right, only way it's going to work at London stadium is demolish and start again.

[red devil]

I can't ever see that happening unless WHU foot the bill...

Which is exactly what Spurs were going to do if they'd managed to buy it. Dodged a bullet there.

I got it without resorting to that thank you. Didn't even know that existed.

[Mick Mac]

Fair enough - well done.

[red devil]

I'd be impressed if Google could come up with who that bloke on the right is.

Oscar Goldman is a good shout...We can rebuild him...

[JohnL]

So Bony scores twice against us after not scoring for months and Joe Allen has a fine game.

The Swans fans fuming.
