[fox58]

The police must be dreading post match.

Two arrests have been confirmed. obviously overworked and have not got time to apprehend anyone

The police must be dreading post match.

Why? They love a good ruck and the overtime helps.

 

[Motown Fox]

West Ham have scored a penalty and ANOTHER West Ham fans pitch invasion

 

[indierich06]

Match has been suspended now apparently!

 

[Harbro-Fox]

Play was temporarily suspended as well, according to Thompson it is mainly West Ham fans.

 

[Motown Fox]

3-1 to West Ham now

 

[Harbro-Fox]

3-1 to West Ham now

On nights like this the score don't matter, this won't be remembered for the score, I just fear for the fans safety.

 

[Motown Fox]

It will be kicking off outside and at the tube stations for the rest of the night now. Police stations on standby for a few visitors

Well done to Jack Collison playing days after his Dad died. Well done Jack.

The police have said it's no worse than they would expect for a high profile derby. So maybe the media are trying to make a story where none exists, or the police are lying.

They must have underestimated the severity of it then, or they wouldnt have needed to call for reinforcements.

Quite clearly this was beyond the usual levels of an intimidating derby

Just watching SSN and the breaks have came on, an advert has just been shown for a film called "the firm" which is to do with football violence and has people fighting. Surely these kind of things don't help football violence all they do is make people act like people out of these films.

Are you Whitehouse in disguise?

Two of my mates (both Hammers fans) were at the game tonight, had to text them when I heard about the problems to check they were alright!

They avoided it thankfully, but said it was scary stuff and think they got back on the tube just at the right time.

Glad to hear that mate, it is so unfair that people who are innocent just wanted to go to the game and enjoy it have had to endure a game of stop start football and witnessing fighting and pitch invasions, I really hope the FA punish these two clubs properly however I think it is mainly West Ham, only Milwall season ticket holders and members were allowed in the ground and there was not much trouble coming from the Milwall fans in the ground apparently, in my opinion this is why the fighting happened out of the ground all game because the hooligans couldn't get tickets, if anyone could of got tickets then the idiots would of all been in the same place inside the ground and the police could of controlled them better, instead they have got hundreds of fans going around the streets of Upton Park fighting and hurling bricks and that. I hope they FA learn at least one thing and that is these two teams should never play again and if they do it should be behind closed doors.

This coming from someone who likes Danny Dyer, surely he's just as bad.

How is it just as bad ? He does a show on football firms to show what violence is like and so we are aware, what does the film show us ? I'll tell you....nothing but violence and fans fighting.

:icon_lol: Thanks.

Dyer does just as much to glamourise it as he does to "show what violence is like"
