I heard the Casuals were planning to contaminate their pies with horsemeat.

They'd still eat them

What's wrong with smoke bombs you big tarts? I've never seen one at a Warrington match (I was in the corner of the terrace at last season's semi, so I assume if there was one there it was in the middle) but I've been in the midst of them elsewhere. They water the eyes a bit yes, but look brilliant.

I'm not on Facebook so can't search "Warrington Casuals", but knowing Warrington I assume that just means they all go the match in blag G-Star jeans and Henley's T-shirts. Best avoided yes, but then with a very small number of exceptions I imagine everyone on here to be as well.

Bought any new clobber or trabbs recently Dropkick?

Of course, but the thread will be locked if it goes down that route.

I'm not actually advocating hooliganism or anything - although by all accounts Warringtonians of the 1980s took no prisoners - but the way people on here get on their high horses about things like smoke bombs is ridiculous.

If I was a Wigan fan I actually doubt I'd stand with the Brigantes (at home games anyway, I possibly would away) because at 33 next week I'm a bit old for the bouncing and singing for 80 minutes lark. Their little corner full of flags did look good when we went there last week though, and I give them credit for bothering to do something to improve their atmosphere.

Smoke bombs are great!

Ultras aren't hooligans. It has been a mistake that British media (namely Four For Two magazine) have used over the years. But having spoken to many fans of European clubs over the last few years following City every club's fans I've spoken to have said Ultras are courful noise making fans; hooligans are hooligans.

What about fireworks? Someone could smuggle in some rockets and bangers and we could have an electric atmosphere at the HJ, imagine Joel Monaghan going in at the corner and then someone in the South Stand firing off a load of rockets to celebrate.

The other good one is automatic firearms, have you seen when Iran qualified for the world cup their fans were firing guns into the air and it looked awesome.

So if you aren't a hooligan why put your scarf around your face as though you are some bad ass paramilitary thats wanting to avoid being seen by the police. It just makes you look like a sad wannabe. Like those students on marches that wear the V for Vendetta masks as though they are some dangerous revolutionary and they complain when they get kettled for half an hour.

Now that is very good.

The Brigantes (what does that actually mean?) tweeted a picture of themselves wearing V for Vendetta masks on the 658 bus to Leigh the other week- hilarious. A few of them walked through the bus station after the Westwood game wearing balaclavas and scarves over their faces trying to look intimidating. Comical!

I'm all for kettling students.

Not a bad deal, that.

In that case it's not just the British media who are at fault, it's Police all over Europe! These people they've been arresting for acts of violence are obviously all innocent. If you want an example of what Ultra fans are like, just hop on Eurostar and be in the Boulogne area when PSG are at home. It's frightening.

The Wigan Ultras/Brigantes are just a bunch of idiots who need stamping on quickly.

Whilst these so called fans are thinking they are Ronnie & Reggie Kray, The majority are probably sheep following young adults trying to gain some kudos with the ring leaders. It would be interesting if banning orders would be introduced for any perpetrators just like football.
