Dreadful...it's a reflection of the society we have created for ourselves.
Worse things happen! I hear someone jumped in front of a train at Cov first thing this morning.

It happened to members of our society, carried out by members of our society IN our society...& it's not unheard of for similar things to have happened in the past...it's grotesque. There was a time when even under the influence of alcohol the vast majority of people used to moderate language, volume & behaviour in the company of women or at least families. Today - more people seem unbothered about how they conduct themselves & batter anyone who try's to get them to be more considerate. THAT is the society we have created!
Do you still wear Doc Martins Ferret? Only asking like.
Is this the Mail Online?
Nobody likes to see that sort of thing, it's ugly and leaves a sour taste; but let's be clear, I remember the 80s and it was far more violent then than it is now (and I'm not just talking about football). The city centre was like a war zone back then.

We lock horns again ferret ;-)
I too was around then...& it was bad - but attacking a guy out with his family? That would be extremely rare in the 80's - even if he's said something about their behaviour...some respect & space would have been given.
The memory is a bit hazy to be fair. I don't generally buy into the 'country has gone to the dogs' argument though. Nothing much has changed from what I can tell. You can pick up a newspaper from the 80s, 90s and 00s and you'll read the same stories and and the same moans on the letters page. Put it this way, I saw more fights in one season in the 80s than I have in the last 10 years. But hey, 3 points today so don't know why we're talking about all this shizzle!
I hate this stuff M8. A good old punch up face to face Im in. Someone minding their own business is a cowards way. These days you need to be on your guard sad to say. Lets hope its a one off.

You only have to look on youtube to see how much worse violence in society was in the 70's/80's especially at the football. When you talk about "the vast majority of people used to moderate language, volume and behaviour used in the company of women or at least families" i'd say the majority still do but the difference is women and families now feel safe to go to football now and didn't in the 70's/80's. Keep it real.
That's a fair point, you might be right there...but I don't think thugs then would attack a bloke with his wife & kids in tow - I might be wrong.
