Picking a derby to do a report about football violence is like going to Las Vegas to do a report about gambling addiction
Nottingham don't even hate Leicester, that's the bizarre thing. They hate Derby.
😂😂😂😂 you’re a fool. 👍🏽
Perfect so see what really happens
Embarrasing police, the worst thing that happens at football is a couple punches thrown, should use resources elsewhere tackling real crime.
@@frankypearcey8650 wake up you fool. And you bring your kids to see this at football games
I’ve never really had a problem with two groups meeting up and having a ruck. It’s almost just human nature for some to do it. When they start attacking innocent people and public areas though it’s just cowardly bullying. No coincidence loads of them are bowling about in Stone Island jackets thinking they’re top boys, when they’ve probably never thrown a punch in their life. Embarrassing.
Anyone getting involved now is mad, CCTV everywhere, banning orders, passports confiscated, jobs lost. It ain’t the 80s £50 fine and dumped outside a train station after the last train has left.
@@declanshanahan3888 I’m in my 40s now so I’d be embarrassed to get into any sort of trouble these days. It amazes me there are people in their 40 and 50s getting in fights doing gear in the toilets. Grow up for fucks sake.
@@GlassHouse80 sounds like an average Tuesday night in Somercotes that does 😂🍻
@@GlassHouse80 what ever age is embarrassing
@@nomad6389 most of the lads at football who I knew who were firm were chaps with no real issues an had birds jobs the lot. Passionate fans who love there club.
Gang related crime in London goes on everyday , killings stabbing robberies , how about making a documentary about that . Oh no let’s go down the football hooligans road again, 99% is just bravado and insults , some ridiculous damage I agree but not stabbing or killings
There’s literally 100s of documentaries on London crime already..
Well said fella
Their “TalkSport” not Panorama ..
@@jezcorrigan651it’s they’re not their… and they’re talking about a sports related issue.. what’s that got to do with panorama? Talk sport don’t always talk about the actual match, half the time it’s issues around the game in general..
@@General12300 it’s “And” and “What’s” if we’re playing that game. And I was backing your argument …
Let's not pretend that coppers didn't used to love a good dust up with football supporters. I know for a FACT that they used to book overtime on Saturdays just for fighting with football 'hooligans'. I'm guessing there's some that secretly hope it gets worse so they can pick up where we left off 20 years ago.
They are not the same coppers now than 20 years ago, lots of old bill were ex forces who had bottle and experienced life instead of pink and fluffy courses.
Shut up fool
@@derektomlinson2521pff coppers have always been the same soft dossers
South Yorkshire Police are the biggest firm in the country.
They still do.
4 years ago, Mark Blyth forecast that football hooliganism would rise due to economic and political turmoil. Looks like he was right.
A throwback to the 70s and 80s!
spot on
two fingers to the establishment and all that margaret thatcher back then and boris nowadays.
Over crowded island
Mark Blyth is quite easy on the ear in his podcasts. His book angrynomics probably touched on this. As the Romans would say "panem et circenses"
150 lads hit the town centre and you "dont know how they got there" laughable
Why? 2 years away from stadiums/pubs has reignited passion and increased alcohol fueled scraps. Excitement is back in football
Don't exaggerate i don't know anyone who hasn't been in a pub for two years. That closed for a few months twice in the last to years the majority of the time they were open
Lots of tables and chairs were harmed whilst filming this video.... Let's all pray for our four legged friends 🙏 ❤️
LOL 😆 luv your comment hope the table and chairs are all recovering well
No dogs were harmed while fiming this video 😂😂

Unemployment is on the rise, low wages, low prospects. Football violence usually seems to follow ...
Unemployment is on the decrease. You couldn’t even be bothered to google before writing this 😂😂
@@covcraig88 it isn't, the manipulation of the figures is on the increase!
@@greasby1golf871 As is the manipulation of the reasons for the increase in match day aggro.
Stone Island !!
You never heard of Casual Culture? The clothes, the travel. Can’t do a lot of that being unemployed regularly.
Get an empty warehouse, open the shutters up at both ends and let the mongs at it. Shut the doors and forget about them.
Natural selection
They would be too cowardly for that. For most, it's pavement dancing!!
I remember the 80s. Today is Like a tea party.
Spot on mate the 80s were mad had some bad and good rumbles county road cutters E.F.C
Definitely, Scotland especially
You should have tried the 70s if you thought the 80s was bad!
This is what happens when you lock people in a house for 18 months. Considering that the people that made them rules aren’t following their own rules
No one was locked up like that. You was allowed out. Go Shopping go for a Walk. Go Shops further way so stay out longer. I did. Was never in week after week without going out. Most of the dust ups are between younger people. Their is violence in Society 24/7.
@@simonmaskell365 your right the pubs were shut for a while in the summer and Christmas 2020 but nobody was actually prevented from going out
First of all wouldn’t it be beneficial to define what police and media class violence as now compared to the past before saying the figures show increases. It’s easy to manipulate numbers if you change definitions.
Clearly it escalated at that forest game. If you don't consider that a violent act then you have issues.
@@sharingiscaring1952 totally agree but unfortunately when you have in essence a derby were the teams haven’t played each other for years after 1.5 years of lockdown frustration what do you expect, Especially when they have seen other “groups” get away with anti social behaviour and nothing is done because they claim “historical injustice” or any other victimisation claim.
True.
... an increase in bouncing around with a nose full of idiot-powder 😂
the violence today is miniscule compared to the 70s and 80s .. surley
It's nothing compared to the 80s. Some games I honestly didn't know if I would make it home. Saw people beaten to a pulp, stabbed, hit in the face with bottles. Used to go home with pounds worth of coins, there were so many thrown. :-) Today is nothing.
In another cities is worse
Nothing to be proud of
@@EuanMcG islike tofay in london Paris or Berlin, who need hooligans if we have gangmembers, Terror or nogo areas with out of controll and rapes
Go football, have a drink, have a line, sounds like a great day. Police seem to be moaning that they have to do their job. If this happens once a year ffs not that bad is it.
Sounds great to me too and I'm not even a football fan
pretty sure normal football fans aren;t into cocaine, it seems to me that its mostly just hooligans looking to stir up trouble.
😂
Yeah but it might spoil middle aged middle class Journo's prawn sandwiches which is unacceptable.
People like you are part of the problem. Normalising sniffing dirty white powder up your nose 🤢🤢. Have a drink smoke a spliff and enjoy the game and maybe try fighting for something actually matters
A big reason for the rise in hooliganism is because of the pent up feelings after lockdown and when hooligans get a foothold it feeds into itself.Also video blogs fuel violence too.
Shut up you complete fucking moron. Anyone involved in this is a scumbag who needs locking up permanently.
@@Md-ji3qo don't you get it:some people like to fight. It's part of working class culture. Growing up in Bermondsey in the 50s how well you could fight mattered more than how important your dad's job was or how good your school report was. Nobody chooses the environment that they are born into or the natural talents they're born with if you're born with looks or brains you can use them to get on in life.if you don't have these but can fight, that's what you have to go with. If these talents get spotted and channelled in the right direction they can end up living rich successful lives
I don't believe football violence has significantly increased or decreased in recent years its just a case of how much the press decides to report on it. I live in Bermondsey so Millwall are my local team I regularly take my grand kids without any problems. Ill admit they're not the greatest team in the country just like England isn't the greatest team in world but they're ours so i supporters them Millwall over the last few years have done a lot to improve conditions for families as well as lots for charity and the local community which goes unreported however if two cats have a fight within a mile of the Den the papers report violence at Millwall. During last years F A cup there was an argument in the crowd; one bloke asked another to stop swearing in front of his kids there was a bit of pushing and shoving and some verbal abuse nothing more. It soon calmed down. The next day the papers reported that because Millwall had no one to fight they started to fight among themselves. It's the press that glamorous football violence just as they do drugs and crime in general no press report on crime is complete without numerous photos of guns and knives like an advert for an action movie even though the guns shown have nothing to do with the actual story they're just standard pictures from the paper's archives to be used whenever they do a story about crime inb in case any of their readers don't know what a gun or a knife looks like
@@michaelharrison3602 bullshit. Lots of people grow up in those poor areas and don't become anti social violent yobs. That's making excuses for low life scumbags you knobhead.
@@Md-ji3qo Yeah but some people want more than a game of bingo and a sing song in church after a week's work
The country is on its knees, it’s a form of social deprivation, we have been told what we can and can’t do for several years. these are people want to express their frustration with the system and the flawed society we currently live in, one rule for one… it’s no coincidence football violence has been rising over the last 2 years.
What a load of socialistic clap trap! ‘These people want to express their frustration at a flawed society’. Really? You really believe that drivel? 🙄 ‘Social deprivation?’ Whilst in their ‘Stone Island’ coats. Give me a break! 😂 You are just making excuses whilst they can behave like idiots and spoil football for everyone else at the same time.
Good point
Lol
Coked up teenagers that have seen green street and football factory thinking they’re bad is what it is
A lot of films recently have portrayed the "glamour" of football violence iv watched a few and its so easy to get caught in the excitement
What recent films are there on football violence?🤨
It's nice to see the youth getting involved in numbers. In a few years we will have some sizeable firms again.
Would be great
Camera phones grassez
It's a strawman question. What makes anyone think it's increasing? The media have been telling us for years that hooliganism is back. I've been going to football for 45 years and in fact more this season than for a long time and I've seen no evidence of it. The world has changed so much since the hey-day of the firms 40 years ago that history will not be repeated.
Attending only 45 years? Come back when you have been on THe Millwall Terraces since 1962, like me, which, sadly, coincided with the birth of more widespread football hooliganism. Now just embarking on my 7th Decade of attending :)..
@@Isleofskye Have you seen any evidence that hooliganism is on the rise again?
@@Isleofskye you’re ‘ard ! 👀
Who wants some ? Not me , actually. I have "8" coming for Supper, ce soir, so I am in the most fearful rush. Toodle Pip..
Great comment bud the country is nothing like it was back then an neither are the people
Most of its all show anyhow. For example, the lad at 3.40 deviates from the cordon to challenge the opposition but is already stopping before the copper actually stops him.

@@michaelharrison3602 i thought you went Millwall?
@@danieloliver4558 I do but I'm not a hooligan i wouldn't even describe myself as a serious football fan but I can't understand the fuss people make about a few naughty boys Misbehaving on a Saturday afternoon after all what would football be without a bit of friendly rivalry
Grown men hanging around with teenagers with alcohol and drugs seems a bit suspect.
Essentially people in real life are having fun and going back to games and twitter has a problem with that
I’ve not seen a punch thrown in this documentary. I understand the mainstream media these days would prefer to see rainbow 🌈 marches where blokes go to watch football hand in hand etc. correct me if I’m wrong.
You are spot on lad
The last threat to global tyranny is pure masculinity or whats left of it in 2022 They want it gone and conformed into the weak bunch that we are slowly turning into.
So true they dramatise it so much it’s embarrasing 😂😂😂
What about the fatty that ran on the pitch?
@@NeverTrustaSocialist Spot on.
Leicester always had a nasty element. In the late 80s to 90 we had West Ham, Chelsea, Leeds and millwall at Bournemouth- Leeds wrecked the town but didn’t actually attack any of the home fans. Chelsea and West Ham as good as gold as were millwall. Leicester were the worse by far, attacking isolated punters in the gardens who weren’t even at the match.

@@chrisolagrim3597 what is a melt?
@@youwannapizzaus there’s a direct correlation between how much someone bangs on about how brilliant fighting at football is on social media and how many scraps they’ve actually had in real life.
Not being cheeky here but saying you share a pie with the opponents does not mean you are not a moron , loads of non morons enjoy a scrap 😁😁✌
Seems to me that they're policing the result and not the root cause.
Police never get to the root cause. They only come on scene to clean up the mess.
@@malcolmdavidson1165 Job security I suppose
what a load of crap,if football in the 70's and 80's was policed like it is now then you would of had thousands of arrests every weekend!!
My left ear has had a real talking to....
The police let it kick off on purpose knowing they need the CCTV footage to get them arrested..been like it for years n years
what they should do is say - "yes fine, have your fight, Here is a field on the edge of town, we will put up a beer tent for you. Go and have all the fights you like" the only thing they have to do is sign a disclaimer to say you cant get free treatment from the NHS if hurt. That would kill 99% of football violence instantly. Because ultimately, 99% of them would be exposed for what they are. And if it doesn't, good luck to them, enjoy your fights in the field.
They could organise that themselfs, every other counties hooligans do it. English hooligans wouldn't have the balls.
@MIND nothing. There is nothing to stop anyone doing anything with anything. However, the only little bit of benefit people get from being a hooligan is false pride or power. Not much pride in turning up to the pub saying "i'm gonna do this and that" but ignoring the actual real fight that was going on. No "warrior spirit" in that
@@dynamiteduggan other countries aren’t policed like England. You try getting 100 lads to a field without the police catching on!😂
What are yhey fight for? What does the winner get? Is it gang fights like in the states? Or does the winner get to control the cocaine sales or something? I'm fucking truly baffled please someone enlightening me to how it starts finishes and to the victor what spoils are awarded. Gangs fight each other to get revenge for what the other gang did to them. So it goes back n forth until they don't even realize how it got started or who's winning or is the winner if there even is one.( besides the prison industry in America) but w.e. tell me the point of it please.
they do this in germany i think it's much better making stadiums a safer place for the rest of the country
The “tactics” worked that well a “fan” got on the pitch and hit a player
That a set of lads bumping into each other, it will never be like the carnage in the 70's80's 90's with arranging meets..
“Were Leicester City, we do what we want” even though they’re singing it whilst being surrounded by police 4:30
I just find it mad weird how grown adult men wanna fight over a game of kick a ball. It’s weird AF to me 😂
Passion, love for the game and rivals taunting you on your manor that's why
I have seen an increase this season and some shocking stuff, what I haven’t seen is any news about it apart from this
Football hooliganism or violence, however you want to call it, is actually way down on the past 20 years. It gets less and less each year due to all the money thrown at it to stop it. I've not seen any real trouble for a long time. Yes, there are those who meet up way away from any stadium, but then that's not Football violence, that's just the usual minority getting their kicks elsewhere. And long may that continue.
Why is football violence increasing? Answer: it's not.
It’s smoke and mirrors look at these football thugs and forget our Shiite comings
It is from them drinking alcohol.
What use are policewmen? Do they make the male coppers a brew to keep them going?
😂
That's offensive they are" female police persons"
They're the Notts Police Baby Squad, who are feared by big babies everywhere they go.
They help to stiffen up the ranks
@@Hammerschool 😂
Rival firms fighting at football is never going to stop, however the solution is so simple it has been completely overlooked. March both sets of fans who are up for a row to an open field. Then let them go at it until an obvious victor emerges. People will soon get fed up of loosing teeth, getting broken jaws, noses and skulls. Or maybe they won't. The most important thing to remember is that football violence is never going to willingly stop.
Spot on mate
@@elliottatkinson9850 Cheers Elliott mate 👌🏼
I think the broken bones and chaos is what keeps lads going back tbh mate, why do you think they go in the first place? Some men are just wired differently, they need abit of chaos and violence. It’s better than being some road man going round stabbing and attacking your everyday average joe ain’t it. It’s a mutual fight.
You truly underestimate the rush such a mass brawl everyone gets from such action and the mutual bonding it creates. It is the major point this culture is still around. And secondly if you consider yourself a fighter you'd consider it earning your stripes losing some theeth or crack a bone here and there to reach a higher rank within your group wouldn't you think?
@@GrizzlyAdams101 those mens are just criminals with complexes, today we have a lot of violence
These firms won’t disappear and the coppers can’t stop them no matter what they do

Things are getting so bad that they gave up 2 seats in the riot van for journalists... JOKE!
The system we all live in is failing us, nothing more!
'There's fighting in a pub' and they're just walking towards it leisurely haha.
The reporter Matt never asked the obvious question, why has disorder picked up again?
Because it’s something to do in a country full of nothing to do
Plenty to do. Just too many morons that are too lazy to go and find it...
Without these type of fans the game would be silent unless there was a goal. Almost every country in Europe has worse hooliganism etc it’s part of the beauty of football. You act as if they attack everyone and anyone when you know they don’t. Colours are off limits unless they provoke it. Not nearly as much a problem as made out and many times it’s over policing and stewarding that causes issues.
Colours are off limits is a lie you tell yourself to make you feel decent. Scarfers get bullied on a regular basis.
Hi @talkSPORT, your sound is on the left side. not stereo :D around 5:10
Leicester has always had a bad element to their following, that was a big day out for them, coming from the dump that is Leicester to a nice city centre, they got a little too excited. Shame their day ended bad for them.
Glad forest won from a Everton fan classy club remember the Clough era
'Ended bad'? It started bad and just spiralled for 90 mins. I think the ending was the best bit for them - It brought a merciful release.

I've noticed an increase in violence only since players started taking the knee. It seems that rather than promoting togetherness it's done the complete opposite.
Get a grip. It's nothing to do with that you moron
@@thomaskemp7362 if you're able to respond without being rude and offensive, why do you think it's happening? You don't have to agree with my reasoning but should at least be able to discuss it in a civilized way.

@@cricketbengelly2307 why has the violence increased, wasn't that the question? I know that with the firm's it's really well organized. I've noticed there seems to be more violence reported (on media) since the taking the knee thing.

Since the start of the season Violence has shot up has it? Maybe that’s because fans weren’t going to games for a year and a half.
They don't fight,they bounce up and down between lines of old bill, come down to your local boxing club and see what fighting is really like, it could be your next addiction, give it a go.
Fighting is going up a mountain with an SLR with a bayonet fitted at goose green. That’s fighting.
@@mufc20timesbitches36 no mountain in goose green, maybe your thinking of camberwick
In the Middle 80's, it was only the hooligans going to football, shocking crowds, just over 20 k crowds at Liverpool , United 10k at Chelsea, Newcastle, remember a West Ham v Leicester game I went to, and the attendance was just over 12k, Celtic v Falkirk 11k,
Some truth in that.
It's probably only a small point to make but is the 50% increase in arrests due to violence or the breaking of more laws and general intolerance of traditional terrace chanting eg Chelsea rent boys etc?

The media still trot out this outdated term, 'mindless'. Football Firms and the individual 'hooligans' are quite often far from mindless and very often catch the authorities out with forward planning that would gain the grudging admiration of the military. A lot of the time that is exactly what the Police are up against, military - style, organised disorder. So can the media please stop referring to these lads/men(and occasionally, ladies) as mindless, because a lot of the time they aint.
If you organise fights based on which football team you support you are definitely mindless no matter how organised you are.
@@aran7teen Whilst i obviously wouldnt agree, i have known people that would organise a fight based on nothing at all really. Just a glance in the wrong direction would have done it. Football allegiances didn't come into it. Lets also not forget that these lads also enjoy the buzz it gives them, and used to give me incidentally.
Drama queen u aren’t u
If 2 groups meet up before or after the game somewhere remote then no worries but attacking "scarfers" is just a no go.
Do you have recent footage as a lot of the footage you are showing is old footage!
Drugs and poor sentencing is the simple answer and the fact this kind of violence happens unpunished on every high street every weekend 😡 in other words, law & order is breaking down slowly but surely over the last 10 years, due to wokeness and left wing policies!

@@AlexSmith-nq6uc you’re some philosopher You have no clue what way I swing and the TM was a joke with my mates 🤷♂️ But I am not ridiculing his opinion Also I want to know how bridging the gap between the rich and poor with universal healthcare and higher taxes for the higher earners has anything to do with football violence. If anything the right wing can be connected to many of the root causes of violence as if makes enemies out of people who ain’t enemies (migrants) and uses fear to trap people in the right wing (migrants) so people feel justified to be more violent. Yes I am left leaning.
Thuggish behaviour learnt from older fans
We was better at it
Good I like tradition
The 70s & 80s were far worse , when it gets like that again you can start to get worried but don't think it will. It peaked in 80s for uk clubs & some foreign clubs are hitting their peak now but they're just a decade or two behind so that will eventually go down too. Or am I wrong ???
You’re allowed to fight in ice hockey 🏒, why not football ⚽️ 😂
This is what footballs all about!
Getting all the chavs in one spot so you can keep an eye on them? Too easy.
What else is there to do on a Saturday?
Drink outside the SPAR?
Football factory 😁
Violence in general is increasing. We are only human after all.
Instead of over policing random games why don’t the government actually spend money on giving young people stuff to do and tackling the issues that cause violence. 30 years and nobody’s learnt
The most sensible comment on this thread.
Daftest comment on this thread. They do have something to do, its just that you dont approve of it.
@@thelouderyouscream Kev’s on one.
The public saw the weak response by police to various protest groups, BLM, Extinction Rebellion etc and the knock on from lockdown, not hard to see why hooliganism is nudging it's way back in, very predictable but won't reach 70s/80s level due to cctv etc
Absolutely correct, if the cops get their act together they could use video and then prosecute a lot of these for threatening behaviour etc etc. A day in court, losing your job etc takes it out of the vast majority. The days of getting away with it are long gone.
@@thelouderyouscream some people who are angry about the state of things go out get high and have a fight others wave banners and glue themselves to Motorways: I've never lost a day's wages because I couldn't get to work due to hooligans blocking the road and my wife has never been spat at by hooligans because of the car she drives
💯
Coppers mate dave knows all the faces 🤣
At the end of the match get everyone who wants to fight, onto the pitch and let them fight like gladiators. People who want to watch can for an extra £10. Keep the bar and pie shop open to generate more revenue. When they’re done, the stewards can carry them out and leave them on the street with one ambulance team for medical care. Problem solved.
Absolutely brilliant idea. I’d pay upwards of £25 to watch a bunch of Stoke Island clad, Tommy Robinson loving thickos beating the sh*t out of each other.
Nothing has changed in 20 years
