Hooliganism

The problem with the hooligans never seems to stop. They will always make trouble. By Selmin Borancic [email protected]

Hooliganism is a big problem in sport and generally in football. You cannot really stop the hooligans to make trouble. They will always do it. It is a way that they show their support and love to the footballteam/club. They always show up to every match an hour or two before, maybe more. They have a pub or something like that where they meet each other before a match. They sit and talk and drink a lot. Usually two hours before, they go to match all together. These supporters are the ones who are often violent. It has



been seen that many supporters have been arrested before and after a match. Trouble with the police and opponent´s supporters often happens before and after a match. Also during a match hooligans can get in trouble by throwing things at each other.

Suspensions:

Much violence has led to suspensions for supporters. Hooligans and their behaviour at the stadium has also led to tickets. Tickets that the club have to pay for. The hooligans are good to smuggle things like roman candles and maroons into the stadium. They never get busted for these things. When a hooligan fire roman candles and maroons, he put a mask on his face so he can not be recognised. But as punishment, it is not only the hooligans who gets suspended. It is all the supporters who gets suspended for some matches. If the football association find a crime too violent they will suspend the supporters for unknown time and give the club a big ticket.
