Quote: barrowtilidie "these people who are moaning about the ultras, really should grow up, get there heads out of the 70's.
history of ultras as i get it,
in the 70's the british casual culture was rife, this involved "firms"
at the same time, european club started groups called ultras groups, who occasionly protested about political matters in there country and in europe.
A bit later, bbc ran a documentary on the murder of a man united fan, and because there was a large ultras scene at the roma club, and the hooligans were from that section of the ground, it got linked as being a firm
it has more recently hit the uk hard, NEVER in the uk has the term ultra endorsed violence against other fans, and only green brigade up at celtic have any political influences.
So in reallity, the people who link it to "firms" should go back to school and get a grip
also keep up the good work.
KEEP THE FAITH'"
