spudski Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Society and the behaviour of ' do as I want' attitude was always going to escalate...because we have taken away discipline and consequences for actions. Parenting and school discipline has changed too far. Now we are living with the consequences. Discipline and education starts in the home. Unfortunately that has eroded. Too many now blame others...Schools/Government for their own behaviour. If you can't self control, and think for yourself and need telling, you are becoming more like an animal.

Go back in time to the 1980's and football violence. Whilst what has happened in the last few days is clearly not good, we are a million miles from back then. It seems we are in a bit of a post-pandemic period where people are going a bit mad with their new "freedoms". Blame Rovers anyway - they started it off with their pitch invasion.

I never said there wasn't. However there was a period after, where it got better. The violence back in the day was a reflection of the days we were living under at the time. Anti social behaviour is far worse now throughout society in general, especially in this country compared with many in Europe. You think taking away discipline and consequences will make for better society? Seriously? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyone say calling for fines and bans for fans, points deductions and other punishments need to grow up or stay away from football. Fans have been doing pitch invasions for as long as I can remember, including ironically Swindon at the county ground against Port Vale 2012! Fans spend thousands of pounds and years of travelling up and down the country for very few moments like these, dont let a few isolated incidences and the media fool you into forcing an agenda to ruin rare moments like these for real fans. Sky sports were more than happy to jump on the bandwagon last night and shows how out of touch they really are. Didn't City do it in 1990 vs Walsall, in 2007 vs Rotherham, in 2004 vs Hartlepool?? I'm sure many who are disgusted with the recent invasions have short memories. Getting rid of it from happening will sanitise football even more. It's part of football, to see jubilant celebrations. Getting rid of the idiots is the key for me. It's context, if you are pitch invading for no reason, for a mid table finish then yes that shouldn't happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocking Red Cyril Posted May 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 1 hour ago, Silvio Dante said: As much as anyone who frequents the politics forum will know that I have no time for the bunch of charlatans in Downing Street, I think to make a link from their knobness to the current spate of pitch invasions/violence is a bit of a stretch. A few weeks ago after the Bournemouth game the point was made that a load of city fans arrived late, coked up, stood at the front, didn’t watch the game and generally behaved like arseholes. They didn’t do that because our prime minister broke Covid rules, they did it because they’re arseholes. Just like the guy abusing Viera, just like the guy butting Sharp. The question is, as arseholes gonna arsehole, how we stop them tarring the rest of us with the same brush. (FWIW I think the invasions at Vale, Goodison, Forest and Rovers were totally understandable and sprung from joy/good natured in the main. It’d be awful to lose that spontaneous joy factor through these knobs) Then show these knobs they will not be tolerated. And I repeat my self .

Fair enough, I wasn't around in 1990 to comment, but I just think it was something that was a 'thing' in Football a lot during the 70s, 80s and 90s. I don't think pitch invasions should be banned, can you imagine City finally reaching promotion to the top flight and us just having to stand there and clap our heroes? Sorry, just wouldn't happen would it. It would be pure jubilation on the ptich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes then I think you are wrong No I don't...lot of presumption on this thread. Hitting perse is wrong. However...I am in the camp of a smack on the bottom to deter a child from hurting itself or others, if words won't work, or consequences don't work is ok. Not hitting or beating. But a smack on the bottom with an explanation and hug. That's my opinion...I'm not going to debate it as I won't change my mind. I grew up in that, and the deterent of a smack on the bum worked. I don't condone beating or abuse. I witness more and more, parents trying to control children who are screaming, shouting, throwing absolute tantrums, trying to calm them with words...landing on deaf ears. Often the parents look embarrassed and at a loss as what to do...as words and consequences weren't working. If you had a child continually running into the road without looking, and not listening to advice or reacting to consequences......... 3 minutes ago, BS2 Red said: I didn't say you mentioned young people.
