ANDY Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 There was a few scuffles on way back to the station. Think this is where the knife rumour started. I heard someone shout it. I also saw a old fella punched to the ground. Don’t know if he was Wednesday or Rotherham. There were both sets of fans helping him back to his feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No escorts indeed they even had Cortinas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Young men always want to fight. It’s been the same since the dawn of time. There a lot more positive outlets for it nowadays. My teenage boys went along to kickboxing to get it out of there system. Boxing gyms, MMA martial arts all exist to give a safe outlet for it. Not everyone takes that route and there will always be lads fighting. Football attracts lads and therefor attracts fights. The problem is that it spills over into normal people’s lives. If they all met on a bit of waste ground for a scrap no one would give a monkeys. Its when it’s on the height street people get annoyed. And when innocent bystanders get drawn in. And the prevalence of knives is terrifying to any parent of teenagers. There isn’t a real cure for it. Just try to get as many lads into boxing/ martial arts to get it out of there system and hope not too many of them get badly hurt. It’s a terrible waste of life when anyone gets stabbed to death over bûgger all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. What a very weird thing to say You're either being a pedant, or a simpleton. Taking it to be the former: I have no evidence that any of my kids ever have been involved in what might be called low level football aggravation as described here, and it seems decidedly unlikely they have based on their range of interests; but if they had, I'd be pretty embarrassed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I'm making is that 20 odd year old adults will do what they want irrespective of what 'rose tinted' parents think they don't get up to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a little embarassing, jumping around like that. Better of down at Jump at meadowhall if that's what they like, with the rest of the children.
