Can’t they just assume all the dickheads will not be at the football?

I’m thinking more an Apple Pay type solution. Might not even exist, haven’t a clue.

It’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove in court.

An interesting theory.

It’s a reference to the ‘Didn’t Happen of the Year Awards’. Search it on Twitter: @DHOTYA

Then they all bought you a pint and everyone cheered. (this is a joke following on from Rob’s comment!)

Seems the number is 20,000. BBC reported 30% of them will be mobilised. Don’t understand why it isn’t more, if I’m honest. Catch this thing before it gets even more out of control.

It could be that other intelligence sources the police use gave the impression this EDL thing wasn’t happening. They may have been waiting away from the scene until spotters had confirmed an EDL presence approaching. Could be all manner of reasons so let’s not go all-in on “there was no police...

Here’s sense for you. The Leeds stuff escalated wildly in a very short timeframe. A call that maybe 4 officers went to turned sour quickly and there wasn’t sufficient riot police in a local vicinity to contain it. I’m not saying that’s factual, I don’t know the full capacity of the riot police...

Obligatory “can we have a fan zone in the exhibition hall?” The more we get in attendance, the more sense it starts to make. There are currently rather limited options of places to go for a drink if you’ve got a child with you.

Yes, I don’t deny 433 is our preferred formation. We’re not going to chase a game in pre-season so we probably wouldn’t change formation. I’m confident we’ll play both a 4231 and a 424 at times.

Don’t get fixated on the fact our preferred formation will be a ‘flat 3’. We will flex that from time to time depending on opposition and game situation.

Is there anything they can do about getting people in quicker when ‘paper’ ticket sales are high? Last season we had major issues getting people in for kick off against Middlesbrough (first home game, many people’s ST cards hadn’t arrived), Oxford and Sheff Wed (both cup games). Appreciate a...

I think we are being ‘hyped’ a bit and for good reason. Genuinely expect us to be battling round the autos all season.

Seen the worst of all sides now I think, both out in the streets and on here. The last 10 pages of this thread have been an utter embarrassment. I started writing out a long message but, you know what, I can’t be arsed. It ain’t gonna change anything is it. I’ll just embroil myself in the...

Thrilling read, chaps.

As much as I’d like to see some of these people get a slap, where does the vigilante-ism end? Far right twats get a beating, go after people the next day tooled up, etc, etc. Needs to be nipped in the bud by law enforcement.

Don’t know anywhere near enough about this, but if you’ve got a handful of officers with batons vs a lot more, some with confirmed weapons, many that you won’t be sure whether they’re carrying or not, calling for an amnesty probably isn’t as stupid as it first sounds.

For me, we’re in “full force of the law” territory now. Riots culminating in vigilante groups has a risk of spiralling to an even more devastating effect than we’ve seen so far.

Should be on the jokes thread.
