Yes, well it was quite scary close up. But people still cheered when it was going off at the other end of the ground.
Blokes innit. Trying to look hard.
Sure, but it's easy to see how that might be perceived as encouraging violence isn't it?
Nobody really minds violence, I think. It just seems to matter whether one gets it coming or going, as it were.

Well this is the thing. And did Mrs T not realise that the lads who won her The Falklands had learned their trade on the terraces?
Of course. And the picket lines. Which is why she sent them to the Falklands #GreenEyedBoys

Not really.
Well, yes. And no. If violence is already a part of life then one doesn't actually need to be seen to encourage it while very much encouraging it indeed. Like Tony Blair wearing his anti-War/CND credentials (metaphorically) while launching Iraqi Freedom.
Maybe the important thing is that you don't actually condone violence.
