Having read your posts and sob stories of "no choice" plus cold claret's stirring tale of brotherhood and heroism, I can only assume you are actually embarrassed by your involvement. Why else would you try so hard to dress it up as something as anything more than what it was: a bunch of mindless bellends fighting with another load of mindless bellends?

If you weren't a thug, you were a happy clapper ? Wow.

Not sure how that represents a touched nerve but nevermind.

I'll leave you to your memories of glorious Saturday afternoons taking Rochdale.

Reading the thread I'm not sure if it was tonight or a flashback scene to a Tuesday night in the 80's...

This has got to be one of the most pitiful and needy attempts at trolling I've seen on here. You really must try harder. I simply can't abide poor trolling - I think it sullies a forum.

If you have kids, would you prefer them to be "Hooligans" or "Happy Clappers?"

Not a happy clapper for sure.

I'd like them to lean towards happy clappers, but be able to look after themselves if an idiot is about looking for trouble.

Going off the times of your postings, it looks like none of you hardcore fans were at the match tonight, Happy Clapping or Casual Fighting!

I was too young in the 80's, and only a kid watching us through the 90's, but I can vouch for some of the above having been caught up in it a couple of times back then (Mansfield away instantly springs to mind). These days, this 'casual culture' bo11ocks, where middle class cocky kids get their parents to buy them the latest gear (those jackets with goggles in the hood are an abomination), have 2 pints of Carling then stand behind a line of police gobbing off at opposition fans really gets on my t1ts. I'm not one for scrapping generally unless I have to, but I'm pretty sure that a good 80% of these 'casual lads' would run a mile if they faced someone one-on-one

It was all planned and arranged for after the game but because it went into extra time and pens it was bedtime when it finished so everyone just went home.

In defence of Family Cat. Not everyone is stupid enough to get into a fight for absolutely no reason. I was very much a regular on the Longside and Beehole through the 80's and 90's. Yeah sure there were skirmishes which were unavoidable, but I sure as hell wasn't going to get involved in a fight just because other Burnley fans decided to for a laugh. That was their issue. Likewise if a 'friend' decided to give it large for no reason and it was uncalled for. I left him/them to it. I don't do backing up 'mates' who don't deserve backing up. I did get involved if it directly affected me or I saw an unprovoked attack on a fellow Claret.

If you miss the days of fighting people outside or inside football grounds then you are a bellend. Football hooliganism is pathetic.

I think so, last time I watched some news a Nazi had done something bad and Potus condemned it, and he also condemned all violence and people were going a bit crazy calling him a racist and white supremawhatsit for doing so.

Don't forget our crew in the 70's. Can't remember losing too many, home or away. The Waterloo lads knew the score.

"The Real Football Factories" ended with that West Ham tosser talking to a few members of "The Suicide Squad" in a local Burnley pub. I loved the description of the one guy who was thrown in jail for biting a police dog. Maybe it was "Claret and Jew", and he thought the dog was kosher.
