football disorder

Stats say its getting worse .............anyone reckon it is getting worse here ??
I know the big games always pull in the old idiots - bradford home and away no doubt

Probably getting worse because they've now included so called online hate to the list of things you can get a banning order for.
Old Bill just has to trawl the Internet and forums in his, her, their armchair and up go the statistics.
Worrying times.

35 million attended league matches , 1400 is nothing .
The police are just trying to hype it up to justify their cushy football job

Totally agree, these are the sort of scaremongering they use to force clubs to play at stupid times.

Cracking bit of propaganda.

Nothing more…

I wish

Disorder.......just what is it ?
Police arrest you for your behaviour, not necessarily anything else but it's a power they have and use....they then use it to ban you from going at all.
It doesn't need a victim to be carried through, no real discernable old fashioned "crime" has been committed where complaints, investigations are needed....officer b didn't like your behaviour so you are nicked and now a statistic.

Watching that Hotel Custody programme from the local lock up facility really brought this home to me, the low life fckers regularly returning to that facility, assaults, criminal damage, shoplifting and when you watch the closing credits nearly all let off , no charges etc.....yet someone gets over excited at a football match and fck me they can't do enough to highlight it and move in.

Like I said if any country with a population of 35 million only had 1400 arrests in a year they’d be promoting  themselves as the safest country in the world.
400 was for running on the pitch which yes is against the law and a bit silly but hardly the crime if the century .
I suspect many others was for drunk and disorderly and maybe having flares which Again isn’t armed robbery or rape .
The police should be promoting how well behaved our fans our considering the numbers but then they’d all be out of a job and back to directing traffic or doing proper police work.

The only reason there’s a dramatic rise in arrests is because the season before most games was played behind closed doors , I can’t believe they’re actually allowed to go unchallenged with this obvious agenda against football fans  

Typical of anything really, focus on the negative which makes up, in truth, a minute percentage rather than focus on the fact the vast majority just going about their business properly, whatever that means.

Football crime figures are questionable anyway so this is, as discussed some classic scaremongering and clickbait nonsense.

Each Saturday, have 4 cans on the train and turn left out the Nottingham station towards Meadow Lane or the City Ground and you’re a criminal, eventually a statistic in a news report like this. Turn right towards the city centre, and you may as well not exist.

These stats class drink/drug driving to and from football matches as “football related”. Every pitch incursion is a tallied, but Sky, the FA and the BBC use these images in their promotional material. Carrying a smoke bomb will get you convicted, but get a £20 easyJet flight to Germany and their FA will happily sanction the use of flares at matches.
