Quote: mystic eddie "The problem is that too many people within the RL fraternity have a "holier than thou" attitude. Far too often we hear people putting the blame on the Football fans of respective cities causing the problems because RL fans would never behave in such a manner.
Wrong.
Weekends away like the Magic weekend where you have groups of people, more often than not fuelled by alcohol and (in this case) an unlikely smattering of too much sun, can lead to people behaving in all manner of ways, most of which can leave a nasty taste in the mouths of right minded decent folks.
Things like this should not happen, but they unfortunately do and it is creeping more and more into the game.
A couple of weeks back I had the misfortune of being at the Wigan v Saint Good Friday game. These Wigan in-breds cursed and abused all game - and from the majority of their songs it was clear that they were NOT football fans. (I always wonder why if they hate them so much that they always seem to want to f*** the Latics? )
There will always, sadly, be idiots who want to spoil it for the rest. Shame they cannot be identified and publicly named and shamed.'"
The level of hostility at football games is generally much greater than RL, but football has generally improved over the last couple of decades (from an incredibly low base). RL does seem to be going the other way.
