Irrelevant. I am speaking about THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT. The past does not justify the act.
In fact, it rarely does because a crazy bastard is a crazy bastard regardless WHO it supports...fact of the matter is that if the opposite occured the blood would have been far different.
You're right to say a crazy bastard is a crazy bastard. But you say if the opposite happened, say Palermo wore your Hooligan T's it would be worse. How can you say that if the past is irrelevant? What is your proof?
What does that have to do with my point..is it a way for you to feel smarter?? For close to a year your had the Irish Gatusso as your title when most know its Gattuso. Any search will reveal the spelling...did I feel it necessary to be-little you about it.
Actually it did make me feel smarter. And you know what? It gave me a boner too.
I have seen Sicilian ultras in the heat of it..they are nasty but their lack of a bigger reaction to the racist stereotype t-shirt speaks volumes about what level they are on vis-a-vis West Ham who have reacted despite being the one pushing insults.
Ultra, smultra. There was no racist stereotype. It said West Ham v. The Mafia, with marionette strings. That shit was funny. But that isn't the point.
You're putting the blame for the "clashes" fully on West Ham, when in truth you don't know what happened. The facts are that some Hammer fans wore offensive shirts at the first leg. Some Hammer fans went to Palermo for the 2nd leg. There were fights. That is all you know.
Not every West Ham supporter wore one of those shirts that day. Just like not every supporter of Palermo was fighting. Some of them did. Some of them didn't. What I'm getting at is there seems to be a double standard whenever English teams and Italian teams get together. When in truth both have just as many problems with Hooliganism* as the other.
PS. I didn't mean to offend you by correcting your spelling of eons. I only meant to correct it. Sorry for the offense.
