Oh i know people got hurt, but we have people like Danny Dyer and that film the Football Factory, and you have all these books on the subject as well. Football violence is very much something, that has been glamourized a bit by the media indeed over the years.
I have no issue if someone needs to settle something one on one or five on five or whatever, but when you have a situation where it's five or six on one, i kind of see that sort of thing as very much out of bounds.
That's not me making any judgement on you at all. You lived through it and experienced it i didn't. When trouble comes your way, you have to respond accordingly.
