Lone3wolf: Do you mean real football, as in played by most of the world by kicking a ball with your foot?

Or the American Hand-Egg, where foot play is incidental, and the egg is carried or thrown more often than not?


:P

Aningan: Indeed

And this topic made me think of Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot. Awesome.
Rofl! +1!
I dont watch sports but I must admit these are the greatest things sports cause.

Arteveld: Soccer's great, but the fans blow, form the riots to the flares.
You can't pay me enough Euros to go to one of the Warsaw stadiums or the Poznan ones where some hooligan spits on people wearing the national colors. Fuck guys like Litar and Staruch...
You guys are getting as bad as the English.

I'm glad these don't seem to happen in the US. It'd probably erupt into a shooting war.

Yeah, the crowd ruins it for me too, my grandpa used to be part of Arka Gdynia [in the club, not as a player], back in the day, did lots of sports, infected my mom with it, and it came down on me too, bloody love watching some good soccer, i even play what we call "para-pilka" (lots of beer, totally amateur 'let's play until 10 goals, and drink another one, then repeat' kinda thing) and i don't feel the urge to go to a stadium and watch a match. Not with those bozos running around.
I only know Staruch from his recent antics, he seemed rational, though he probably deals in the 100-flare's shows. Don't know who Litar is, though.
Imagine fans like that on rock concerts, we love the band so much we decided to make a lot of smoke. You want to enjoy the show, but no, a lame as punk and his 50 cronies storm the place with flares singing songs how great the band is, ruining the show.

Litar is the Poznan hooligan who has, or maybe had, a catering contract with Lech Poznan and he too is one of those hooligans that makes a name for himself with some serious bullshit.

Thing is, I read that the English managed to stop a lot of their hooliganism whereas in Poland it's gotten as bad as the government shutting down stadiums and the clubs having to play in empty stadiums.

Polish football hooligans: this is why we can't have nice things.

When Edmonton was in the finals, there was rioting in that City. When Calgary was in the finals, there were people tipping over buses. Vancouver is no different than any major city, each one has a few bad apples who take things too far.

Also, in regards to them being sore losers, this has absolutely nothing to do hockey. I guarantee that, win or lose, this would have happened.

nondeplumage: Fucking soccer. The stupidest spectator sport in existence. Right behind football, baseball, volleyball, cricket, etc. But especially soccer.

Buncha fucking idiots.
Because football is the only sport where the fans act like total dicks.

JudasIscariot: (snip)
Club cancelled catering contract with Litrar's company and they were making like 690k pln turnover I think.

As to Premiership - yes they did. And very frikking well as well - have you ever seen a huge ass fence separating audience from the pitch? No. I guess you just have to start slapping huge ass penalties and ban hooligans from going to matches both in the country and away.

It's just ridiculous what hooligans get away with in Poland Judas...

Oh! The spit one, yeah, now i remember. Another fine example, why people don't go to see matches. Carlin, i believe, had a joke about morons like him, place those hools on a stadium, let them fight, wait til the there's only one man standing, place him on a podium and shoot him in the head. ;)

Kinda like you did with your first post? :))
Still no reason to be low rated tbh.

bitter_luddite: Just in case it's not clear, this is a HOCKEY riot. It's actually a rare occurrence, even in Canada. Hockey is an entertaining sport to watch, so hockey fandom doesn't revolve around the sideshow stuff that soccer fans use to keep interest in their insanely dull sport. Hockey rioting is kind of a tradition in Vancouver though. I'm sure they'll go back to using the fear of causing one as an excuse for why they lose in the first two rounds.
Sort of like basketball riots in Los Angeles. (Basketball riots in the US are still a lot more common than hockey riots in Canada.)

This year's sorry excuse for the Lakers didn't have to worry about starting any riots. Not to take anything away from the Mavericks, who were awesome in the Finals.

Stanley Cup, Football Cup, I could give a shit. It's these mentally regressed retards to whom the phrase justifiable homicide could be applied to anyone protecting their property from.
Remind me to bring this up the next time some Canadian with a superiority complex acts like Americans are all violent idiots.
