Sharp rise in disorder at football games in England and Wales last season on 11:23 - Sep 22 by BobbychaseI think a more honest headline would be that society is getting more violent, and this is being reflected at football. I never think it helps the debate when journalists pretend football is somehow this separate entity where people who behave themselves impeccably Monday to Friday develop some sort of madness. Do you have evidence to support the assertion that society is getting more violent and that is proportional to the increase in violence and disorder at football games? Do you honestly think some people don't behave differently in the tribal atmosphere of a football match than they do in the office or at home in the evening?
