I was watching news reports about the Hooligan problems at the W/Ham v Millwall match. It seemed like a lot of the reporters and the typical talking heads that the news always put on were alarmed. But they Interviewed a cop and he said they were "Shocked" by the troubles at the match.. Really. Your shocked that their was violence at a West Ham v Millwall match.
I live in Atlanta Georgia, USA and I could tell you that their was going to be Issues with that Match. Cmon.."Shocked" . Its West Ham and f***in' MILLWALL!!!! I'm shocked that they didn't have the proper security to avoid it. How could they not know their was going to be a hooligan element at that match. (2) major Hollywood movies had MIllwall v West Ham fight scenes in it.
I know they did alot to control the Hooligan issues, but you had to know their was going to be fighting at that match. If that was true. Then the cops are just f***in' dumb and have no clue and thats whats scary for the normal, average fan who just wants to go to a match with his boys and have a good time. I hope thats not a pre-cursor for things to come. Back in the days when Hooliganism was at its worse, it came fairly close to killing football. I would really hate to see it return. It took a lot for the game and the FA to come out from the whole Hooligan shadow.
