Life / Polish hooliganism in sport [141]


Couldnt agree more. Those dark days in the 1980's where football was no where in terms of popular culture, no one could have forseen the media circus that it is now. I maintain that its safer to attend a match in England than anywhere else in Europe with the security measures and top flight stadia being all-seated. What does annoy me is that the media goes into overkill when an English supporter farts in Europe and talk of banning English clubs comes into play, when a lot worse happens elsewhere. Sure, there will always be an idiot element with football supporters, but thankfully the hooliganism is dead in the past.

Sublime thread ! I needed a good laugh....

UK, Ireland / English people attitude towards Poles? [761]

Interesting thread....

I occasionally hear the odd whine about 'Polish people taking our jobs blah blah'; I generally perceive it as someone just looking for an excuse for their own failings in the world of work. There seems to be far more contempt for other nations sadly, but Britain is a very bigoted country. There is a noticeable divide, and I think its a generation thing with the younger people more tolerant and accepting of multi-culture and the elder being more prejudiced. There are exceptions to the rule of course. Ive met English idiots, Polish idiots and Irish idiots. I'm sure Ill meet many more over a lifetime.

Although my girlfriend does eat an unhealthy amount of cabbage, but rather her than me !

Too many ignorant people; no lives of their own so they are more bothered about what other people are doing !
