Trouble at the End (32 fans banned)

As I said earlier on the thread, I suspect almost exactly the reverse is true: that those involved in the disorder are people who are at the bottom of the pack in almost every aspect of life - educationally, professionally, socially - and that too much coke and booze, and acting up at Argyle is a means of escapism for them.
It's why I think that Simon Hallett's language is a bit too strong, and also that the lengthy bans for people who are probably quite passionate Argyle fans are a bit of a shame.
Equally, of course, I accept that Argyle cannot tolerate people storming security barriers and attacking other match-goers, and also that there's not much the club can do about much bigger, society-wide issues with masculinity.
Hi Dan. Just to pick up on a couple of points as they relate to things involving me on this thread.
Firstly, the insinuation that a person would be no good in war was first made about me, by area 51. This was somewhat bizarre as it was in response to a post I had made in which I defended working class people against an earlier suggestion that their only means of expression was clobbering each other around on a Saturday...a view that I suspect the elite would hold of the working class, but one which I think is pretty disgusting. The majority of great art and music had come from people with working class backgrounds. Suggesting that we'll always have incidents of fighting at football because 'thats how working class people blow off steam' is insulting.
It did get me wondering though, what war situation would require me to jump around like I had a sparkler where the sun doesn't shine whilst making masturbatory gestures at the enemy. Obviously that only comes up in advanced SAS training.
Secondly, for clarification, I didn't suggest they'd be no good in a boxing ring. I simply suggested that a better outlet for aggression, one which wouldn't result in a criminal record, and upset to the kids within the ground, would be to attend one of Plymouth's many boxing gyms. I asked whether that would require a bit too much discipline.
I do get your point about pitch encroachment. I've been on in a mass pitch gathering a couple of times when there's been something important achieved at the end of a season. But I've never understood why at, say Crewe or Cheltenham, these guys feel the need to flop themselves over a barrier after a scruffy equaliser and bound along the touchline chasing (mostly forlornly) after the scorer like they somehow delivered a pinpoint cross.

This made me laugh out loud.
The chap your talking about is a Marine - I doubt whether you've seen an 80th of what that man has.
Just think about it.

I think you meant:
You can't say English these days. You are a racist.

Except that you can say English these days and no one thinks āyouāreā a racist. Otherwise a brilliant point well made.
