I agree with you that the Met are being too heavy on this on this, I am not disputing that at all. I just think that many football fans could help themselves and their reputation a LOT by being less antagonistic, a bit more friendly and a bit more co-operative. I know that many, many fans do...
No. Likewise, there is a reason why some people have to give instructions- police may ask you to wait a moment to let others passed or for your own safety, would you just ignore that and do what you want then?
Oh, I do think for myself thank you, no need to be rude. I am just stating a point...

Behave- the police will leave you alone and be polite
Act like...
So, trouble only kicks off because the police incite and goad it? BULLSHIT.
If you attend a game, behave yourself and are polite have you noticed that you never seem to encounter any problems at all, amazing that isn't it. I do not like being herded about after a game at Selhurst but the...
