Oh it was grim....it was week in week out and happening everywhere - sad days.

Going to away games in the 70s was mad. The bizzies treated you like shite and very rarely looked after when the home fans ambushed you . This went on at every away game , some grounds were worse than others .

Just seen they are playing Spurs at 2pm, that should be interesting.

El Sackico? Or too soon for Moyes?

[magicrat]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Everton win today

A couple of late goals by Richie-La and that Redshite Solanke would be nice.

Any other english club there and it's the same outcome.Im fairly sure there was no evidence there were any nf types there.

There had been violence at footy since the late 60s.

The responsibility for heysel lies in 3 areas..us,the ground and the organisation( and some of the juve fans were not angels)

However to be lectured by a fan base who have brought out a book crowing about stabbings and beatings is very rich

 

 

The reality is all English clubs were kicking fuck out of each other and people abroad for years. There's nobody above it and sadly it took this to bring it to a head. The fact Everton fans think they are above it (nicholls aside), sums up them as a fan base perfectly. I don't subscribe to this idea we were angels before all this, we weren't, we were cunts. That's how football was then.

The FA Cup Semi at Woodison you mean? I know people who were there and said they've never been more frightened than they were at that game.

 

I think the difference was that as much of a shithole as Woodison was then and is now, it wasn't as bad as Heysel. And loathe as I am to give any plod credit, I think Merseyside Police just handled things better than their Brussels counterparts.

 

That 85 semi was wild. Inside and outside the ground. Loads of reds brought golf balls with nails driven through them and were lashing them at the terrace floor of the Gwladys street, so they bounce of it and upwards into the mancs in the paddock. Obviously they came straight back. And that really was just the tip of the iceberg.

Imagine that now!

The 1st utd game I went to was in 88 and the atmosphere was visceral.

Now it's like a pantomine

That would be quite hilarious. You can't trust spurs though..

To be honest, after 85, it all seems tame. I've had one or two moments over there when coming away from the ground since, but nothing like those days. Obviously there's still stuff goes on away from the ground, but I think you have to be unlucky to be caught up in all that. Then, especially away from home, a week didn't go by without an incident.

I’m sure Solanke is injured unfortunately.

It's all pathetic now..a few fat scruffs hiding behind a line of police.

Think they only time I saw anything was that last minute goal(was it ferdinando?) And they let us out at the same time 

[sir roger]

I still can't believe my mum and dad let me go on the soccer specials on my own when I was 14, to the likes of Chelsea and Derby. It was fucking mayhem everywhere.

 

A guy from Royal Liver used to knock at our house for cash once a month, and looking back I can only assume it was a policy on my life.

[Bob]

Just put the match on TV on mute while I listen to the pod from yesterday (just heard @Dan Vito Corleones song! Haha, amazing!) and looked up to see a list of last however many results at home vs Tottenham going back to 2013... 

 

Not a single win.

 

At home.

 

Vs Tottenham.

 

Jeeeeeez.

I think it might be taxi for Ange, 3 down at half time at The Tip

I was doing aways in the late 80's and it wasn't much better then at times...but from what i have heard from older lads the mid to late 70's and early 80's were really bad.

I wasn't at that, i was in Oz enjoying the sunshine. Got back for Heysel though, the worst night of my life. Looking back it was fucking awful then and how nobody got killed at a game in this country is beyond me.

 

We were lucky I suppose because there was always so many of us. A couple of the cockney clubs were dodgy, salford was a bloody joke when their dickheads acted up but the worst away trip was fucking Leeds. The walk back up to the station was terrifying. One game, when the final whistle went a load of our lot were singing 'we want an escort'. One occasion one of their looneys was walking around the station precinct wielding a full sized claw hammer.

 

It scares me when I look back.

[stringvest]

those aways were brutal.  Even Maine Road, but that was often because you'd get Utd supporters waiting outside that tunnel.

I think it was just the way it was back then..I only caught the arse end of it(87) though I remember minding cars on ankles lane and seeing pure pandemonium after a game against Sheffield we'd.

85 was like year 0..there was the semi final,the riot at Birmingham and the culmination was in Brussels. 

The mad thing was..England were probably the worst of the lot and they escaped the ban 

Apparently Spurs v Wolves Semi Final at Hillsborough just a few years before our second semi final in 89 could easily have resulted in a similar outcome and authorities knew how bad that stadium was at least half a decade before our Semi Final. I've said it many times on here but the FA has got away with nowhere near the amount of blame they should have taken for our 89 semi final. Others were culpable of course but the FA was up there with them in the blame stakes.
