On the Ball (new Football Focus)

I believe it's 50 for a bulls eye - and besides it looks like it's on the rim, so a score of 25

If you look carefully enough there's an R for Rangers inside the stripes.

Again, if I'd have said that I'd have been berated. It's certainly a United shirt.

[matthew123]

Why would you have been berated? If you mean my comment was motivated by it being a Man United fan you are jumping to an incorrect conclusion. When I wrote that post identification of it being a United fan had yet to be established. In actual fact I was responding to red devil alluding to it being a 180 which of course is impossible with a single dart.

[ratty]

It's a united scarf!

Nice fooking shot imo! I would have gone for the japs eye though!

[Jah Lush]

A United fan on the receiving end. Do we know who the opposing team was?

[????]

I remember exchanging batteries with the fans at Old Trafford on a fair few occasions...the good old days eh

It could be a Huns scarf, blue and white, with a thin red stripe...

I don't think the perpertrator could actually miss Ratty! Having said that, it looks like one of those darts you get at the fun fair which is specially weighted to miss the board...Jah, didn't Pat Jennings get hit with a dart?

I remember a Utd fan got hit with a dart in his head at Anfield in the Annie Road end, nowadays we have to make do with bags of shit thrown at us...nice

[matthew123]

I'm not even gonna respond to that crap - it's below the belt and it stinks!

[red devil]

Quidsy, were you part of the firm that came up to OT that was filmed by World in Action(?) as an 'expose' on hooligans?..

[ratty]

I once got pissed on by the whole of K Stand whilst at Old Trafford.

[red devil]

Ditto Villa Park FA Cup semi, Utd v Gooners. Consider it a rite of passage Ratty, animals scenting out their territory.

Does anyone remember 'Fighting Stars', part of the 70's Kung Fu craze?..

Ok, it's a given that mancs and scousers hate each other, but this survey of Ldn fans throws up some strange rivalries, no prizes for guessing which teams fans have grown a recent dislike to Shef Utd, eh Quids?..

Fans Hate Survey...*

RD, if you mean the ICF documentary then I was at that game...that's all

[????]

They weren't exposed they let a journalist join in and eventually let him film.

[red devil]

Your right it wasn't undercover filming, I remember the interviews on the trains, but by 'expose' I meant it was probably the first time a lot of the public got to see and hear young men basically saying they go to a football match just for a good old fashioned punch-up...

What were the politics of the ICF?, again from memory there would be several black faces in their ranks (Cass Pennent?), but West Ham also had a strong NF reputation around that time. At Utd the bias was very anti-fascist, especially as there was strong support from a large Irish community...

[Mick Mac]

Quids. I have to say that when i met you i never felt threatened. You came across as such an easy going chap.

[????]

I am an easy going chap MM, and small - I just started going to West Ham home and away in the late 70s and especially away you got to know a lot of people, that'a all. At that game at man U I was atill in the ground watching West Ham get stuffed rather than outside doing all that shite. That was then etc.

[Jah Lush]

Q: What's the difference between Sir Alex Ferguson and Michael Jackson?

A: Alex Ferguson will still be playing Giggs in August.

Err....sorry.
