Are we aggressive

[John T]

To be fair the indiscriminate football violence of the early 70s was brutal.

Those of an age ( ie myself) with remember the Battle of Moor Park ( both Burnley and Blackpool ) and the Battle of Lowthorpe Road , (Villa) not to mention the kicking we took at the hands of Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday.

It was a bad place and bad time .

Seriously.

It certainly was some support wise---I remember Blackpool coming here once and although no doubt many were decent enough, some Caged (or should have been ) on Fishwick buses shouting abuse at all and sundry---However I do think something good has gone from the game these days and it’s more akin to beach football---Many of the tackles Pearson makes these days would have been drawn laughter by the ‘hard men of yesterday’ even by our Cunningham and Docherty---Not to mention a certain Mr Harris of Chelsea (who well deserved his nickname)---Although that doesn’t condone Pearson’s silly bookings for dissent

Back then tho the ref would just have told him to Fcuk off too.

It's a bit like still hating every German.
Ridiculous attitude.

They bombed our chippies.
