Of course football aggro is no good ...and the police have clamped it... but maybe it was a way out for some teens..in a gang ....walk around looking hard.. a few kicks at opposing fans and it's all over.. sounds daft but it's alot better than the state on the streets we have now... what do you reckon?

Before football violence youthful exuberance could also be knocked out of spirited juveniles by sending them to work in back breaking industries aged twelve, or to fight in far flung corners of the British Empire.

I'll pack your nap sack.
