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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
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.
