I assume it's because the Bristol post need page hits and people are still interested in football violence. Would any of us have clicked on it if it was just random bloke who isn't racist talks about protecting the cenotaph? Not that I care for this type of thing but the Gas must hate this type of thing - the article must have said how long we have been bigger than them for about 4 times.

So we are subject to unreasonable kickoff times, police escorts to and from stadia for what is supposed to be a leisure activity, restrictions on where and when we can consume alcohol and so on. Besides, no matter how much hooligan groups will argue until they are blue in the face that they are only interested in trading blows with like-minded people from rival mobs, they do seem to have memory lapses about that code of honour regularly and beat up rival fans who aren’t hooligans instead.

EmissionImpossible Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Who gives a sh!t what the csf think also “However we don’t condone the violence and vandalism that led to the removal of the statue and would have preferred and supported the removal of it by a democratic process, if that is what it would have delivered should any such process have taken place,” he added.” Makes i laugh Edited October 7, 2021 by EmissionImpossible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post and having witnessed hooliganism from the late 70's onwards football was often scary and innocent fans were often caught up in cowardly attacks even though they weren't a threat to anybody and wear the clubs colours. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 If you read the article in its entirety and put aside pre conceived opinions of the CSF it’s a well balanced interview which puts A&S police in a poor light and the source of some of the misinformed reported right wing slurs made against those that were protecting the cenotaph 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trueredsupporter Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Interesting mirrored what got written about it in the politics forum. They were not far right and racist and what did posters get called for pointing that out far right and racist!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a bunch of no mark thugs, nobody really cares if the police called them right wing (note: not far right or racist), that is not the issue here. The issue for me is that both the mayor and the press are reporting on them as if CSF is some kind of legitimate organisation as opposed to a bunch of blokes that like to inflict violence on others. The only reason anyone ever intimated that they may have been racist was their blatant use of the "All Lives Matter" slogan which is undeniably a racist slogan when used in response to BLM. I think you will find though, that anybody mentioning this would also have said that if they weren't racist, then they just didn't have the brains to realise they were being unintentionally so. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Can only echo what’s been said, that we shouldn’t be giving thugs a platform. They have absolutely no right to take the moral high ground in anything, given the damage they have caused to our club and city’s image over the years. I don’t buy their story anyway. What exactly were they protecting the cenotaph from? Why would BLM protestors want to damage a war memorial? They just wanted an excuse to flex their muscles and hopefully get some agro. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf they do clearly state reasoning within the article. They make it clear it was elements outside of BLM i.e. Antifa who could use the ruckus for their own agenda. Such as a Cenotaph. As well as the events in London where the Cenotaph was targeted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has a platform in the internet age! Having supported this club home and away right through from the late 60s until I emigrated, I can say un-equivocally there was a couple of times I was bloody happy that they were there. Self fulfilling prophecy maybe but there have been some real nasty attacks. FFS Millwall went as far as to drop concrete blocks on us and turned up on a Friday night looking for trouble not long ago Yeah it is a bit of a shit article in a week where there is no football as I implied earlier. But there it is. There is still a group that call them selves The CSF but does anyone really care outside of a bored journo at the post!? Has starting any violence been attributed to The CSF in recent years? I honestly don’t know!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
