It is not "perfectly understandable" at all, Why should some even feel threatened because they are wearing a football shirt in another town, its pathetic.
I am one of the 40 something with teenage kids ( not bald though) Edna speaks of and was around in the 80's and understand the rivalry, but that its just that rivalry good bit of mouthy banter and chanting, but i wish no harm to any other football fan.
I just get the human emotion that would want to inflict harm on another human,( ok Belotti and Archer are special cases), but because some else supports another team , WTF . People who feel this need, need something else in there lives.
Err yes it is perfectly understandable, we don't live in a pacifist utopia I'm afraid. I'm not condoning violence, but if you wear a rivals shirt in rather rough (West St) opposition territory you may get a slap.
It is the world that we live in I'm afraid.
Would you dress up in green and white hoops and stand outside the home end at Ibrox when a match is on?
