IMHO chucking pool balls is more serious than the racism. No excuse for either but end of the day, the racist stuff is just unpleasant and offensive. It's never going to potentially kill or maim anyone. Pool balls on the other hand .... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThruThinAndThinner Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Bit of a daft comparison really, comparing the Nazis & Auschwitz with a few knobheads on the Kop. Great example of Godwin's Law though. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's horrible and - like I said - there's no excuse for either. What do you think is worse? Offensive words, or physical assault with a potentially lethal weapon? As bad as any racist chanting is, I find the prospect of someone - possibly a child - being killed or blinded by a pool ball even worse. But that's just me. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 15 hours ago, kopman9 said: Maybe players should not deliberatly bait the fans then, the dirty Leeds b*****d knew what he was doing Sorry but you are part of the problem if that's your attitude. It doesn't matter what a player does there's no justification for throwing things at him. Are you so thin skinned you can't take it? I bet you dish plenty out but as soon as a player responds you are outraged. Time to grow up or find another team to support. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is, there's already a process created and support system in place for racism and it's still ignored. Despite the club 'having' the right resource in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevowls1 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Security is another department at the club that is failing. Things are happening because most of the time they can get away with it! Our Owner doesn't want to pay more for proper security. He doesn't want to pay more for catering either so everyone can get a pint and a pie at half time. Behaviour at Hillsborough is probably worse now that I've ever seen it...and that's for 40 years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeyedmilkman Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 If you're the kind of person who physically can't watch a game of football without 10 pints or a sniff of coke, then football isn't for you. If you're the kind of person who can hurl abuse at a person on a field, but will immediately get violently angry if they dare to make a shush gesture towards you or cup their ear, then football isn't for you If you're the kind of person who thinks it's smart, safe or even acceptable to take weapons to football matches (or items to be used as weapons like pool balls) then football isn't for you. No ifs, no buts, no excuses. These people are an absolute cancer on modern day football. The police have to do more. The club has to do more. The fans have to do more. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would require diligent police work from a competent force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 How did they even get pool balls into the ground? They must have been plugged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
