You all need to get some cheerleaders and learn the fine art of what is called "tailgating" where you cook, eat and have a good time.
Originally posted by RookRAKLast week Miami played a sure win game against Central Florida, I believe. A huge fight broke out between the players. I think 15 players for Miami were suspended. Their coach's future is up in the air. Even one sportscaster who got bragadocious during the brawl got fired.

This week Miami almost lost to a winless Duke team. I wish they had lost.
Originally posted by kirksey957I am suprised you never mentioned that Miami stomped on the Louisville logo a few weeks ago. That Miami team has caused a few problems for some teams for about the last 20 or so years. The Miami Hurricanes have no or little class.

Originally posted by expressiveoutburstThis is an ongoing problem a lot of match days. For some reason, it is not being reported on, so people seem to believe that hooliganism is out of football.
I had the very horrible experience today of getting caught up in football hooliganism after the Swansea/Millwall game today, and some of the things I had to witness were completely out of order! There were thousands of fans outside the ground fighting with police, throwing rocks and wood at police and the horses, the horses and dogs were charging ...[text shortened]... ep happening at football matches? Swansea won the game for gods sake! No need for it whatsoever!
TBH, the guys doing the fighting aren't football fans, I saw footage of hundreds of guys outside Millwall's ground waiting for opposition fans with 10 minutes to go of a match that they needed a point from for promotion, and they were trailing 2-1, IIRC.
Hooliganism is just an opportunity for some mindless violence, and for some people to experience a form of brotherhood.

Ah well, here in the Netherlands they are talking again about the ultimate solution.
No more fans from the away team in the stadium!!!
Not the most wanted solution, but it solves most of the problems. 😞
It also means that decent fans get punished and the idiots win.
