Hmmm …
Last Tuesday wasn’t something I expected to see …
I got talking to one of the regulars, today’s, who’s a bit of a Hammers fan, before you ask, who’d not actually been at last Tuesday’s Carling Cup match — which saw at least ten arrests, and one man in hospital — but had seen and been shocked at the news reports
Something we both agreed was that it definitely a disgrace. And that no-one had seen for a good decade.
Now, I’m no football fan, but I can remember the 1970s.
Whew!
I can remember seeing the news reports of the violence, that occurred, without fail, every week; it’s something that gave — and still gives — English football a bad reputation.
To the best of my recall, I also think— in part — it’s why my step-father never took me to a West Ham match, back in the day.
Let’s face it, this sort of thing didn’t exactly make the game look family friendly …

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
