Hey, there must be a misunderstanding here: I'm not the one attacking Brits try to single them out on football violence, it's this guy portlock who wrote "We're Brits, we're not hot headed Latinos". https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/romas-in-ground-atmosphere.406890/post-11051940
I simply...
You don't have to. You simply need to remind that portlock guy that "Brits" are just as, or even more, violent than what he referred to as Latinos.
And you just need to come to Rome and witness other English football fans' violence that doesn't make the headlines where you're from. Not Brighton...
You didn't read what started the conversation. What started this conversation was "We're Brits, not hot headed Latinos".
I simply reminded the guy that football violence is not exactly foreign to "Brits": they actually made it famous across the world.
He didn't refer to Brighton fans, he made a...
Sorry guys, have to go out with my lady now, you know how we "LATINOS" are, right? :cool:
But you guys are generally cool, Brighton fans are nice, so all the best to you from the 15th of March onwards.
A small piece of advice: If anyone ever says that men rape women on the tube, don't ever answer "I personally have never seen any men raping women, in my own experience". Just don't: you WILL be "lumped in with" rape apologists. Don't want that? avoid these types of answers.
At least you seem fair.
So my problem is with portlock's racist claims and those who implicitly back him by evading the point, while you at least don't do that.
Oh right, just because 39 people died there due to English hooliganism... like, "get over"... right?
Also, Heysel was just peak English football violence, and so that alone should debunk portlock's Briths supremacy claims. But English people (or "Brits") are really really in no f***ing position...
I'm not the one making racist generalisations, and then backing them up with ANECDOTAL counter-evidence. You guys are.
So yes, it does make perfect sense, Brian.
"It's kinda ok that Brighton fans were beaten up and stabbed this week"??
Could you please quote any of my posts where I've hinted at anything close to this concept?
I actually said the exact opposite, you just need to read a couple of posts like the ones below, where I explicitly specified...
I already specified many times you guys are cool and pay for the price on behalf of other English supporters (am not justifying it).
Also, a broken shop's window doesn't make headlines in Rome either. Neither do people enjoying their time at a "bar", being harassed by a drunk Brit.
But you can...
Yeah, but what is the relevance of your "own experience"? I bet there are thousands of topics where your own experience doesn't tally with what other people describe.
"Oh you've been raped on the Tube? I've never seen someone being raped on the tube, I've never seen someone being aggressed on...
So the discussion started because portlock made a racist generalised claim about "Latinos" (ridiculous), as opposed to you, the "Brits" ("We're Brits, we're great, we're the best"). And now you come back with an answer about little Brighton? Brighton is cool, you're lovely guys, I'm sorry you...
All your answers are empty, like this one, there's nothing in them, no concrete counter-argument. And you put on "ignore" people, when you don't even have any EMPTINESS to claim.
As long as we're posting pictures of dumps...
No thanks, I'd rather go to a nicer place, like I said, I had a much less depressing time in Blackpool. We're not used to ugly cities along the sea, in Italy: they're a rarity.
We weren't talking about a single team/individual case: portlock generalised: "We’re British, not hot headed Latinos that stab" (and then went on criticising racism, after making a bold racist statement, that's pathetic).
So if we're talking about Brighton, no you guys are cool.
It's just that...
Let's do this: Next time ANY English football team plays in Rome, or next time there's a rugby game involving England, I'll invite you to my neighbour (which is 20 min away from the stadium). And you'll see the ANGELIC reputation English supporters have. But I guess the BBC doesn't report on the...
Oh ok let me get this straight: if "BRIAN FANTANA" hasn't seen something, then it didn't happen.
Have you seen what happened Heysel Stadium disaster?
I love all these replies either deny or undermine British violence and neo-nazism, which is well known across the world, so much so that even...
I guess the BBC are not that eager to report on British supporters damaging the stadium's surroundings and the city centre, shops, and attacking people when they come to Rome for football or rugby... no, they only report font-size-80 headlines when a Brit has a bruise in Rome.
And don't get me...
