Nothing to do with football IMO. They are just thugs who happen to play the game.

calumscott said:Scott, it's not the people who watch it or play it on a Sunday or in their lunch hour at work. But you have to admit that there is a certain character trait that seems prevalent among those who play, and aspire to play at the professional level.
There are far more Terrys than Linekers...
So what's not to get? Welcome to the internet, dude! A place of banter, opinion, nonsense and noise. Just another bloke with a keyboard and a pile of stuff that pisses me off...

That's totally different though, surely you can see my point here? The guy lost his life at the hands of a couple of thugs and your immediate reaction to that is along the lines of "typical footballers".
Even when I pointed that out you had to go on a rant about the footballing system and how corrupt it is, as if taking the chance to vent about something you don't like, which had absolutely no bearing on the circumstances of these events. Very strange behaviour, but then that's just my opinion.

I don't quite get how you don't quite get the correlation! These are players for a club in the (presumably) national youth league, and so will be a team of youths who presumably have some kind of aspiration towards playing at a higher level...
...these are not a few work mates having a game of football, these are people who are (or likely aspire to be) PART of football.
If this had been that, a linesman kicked to death in some random works league or local pub league I'd take your point.
...and if you think *this* is strange behaviour!?!?! :rofl:
ScottM said:I feel like we're going round in circles with this. My point is if it was a rugby player, or <insert other sport player>, you wouldn't be saying "typical <other sport> player".
You seem to have a real grudge against football and thus tied the responsibility of this death to the sport rather than just to the individuals involved. My point is that these sort of individuals are present in all walks of life.
Anyway, that's enough on the subject from me. Again, we'll just agree to disagree I guess.
