Yes it is the sports section but there is no need to go overboard about it.
It is only football that seems to have this effect . This overzealosness has contributed to fan wars and hooliganism at matches.
You never see that at rugby matches. You should feel the passion in The Millenium Stadium when Wales play it is fantastic but fans enjoy themselves and stand/sit side by side opposition fans pint in hand and enjoy the match whatever the outcome. Same at Twickenham, Murrayfield and Landsdown Road.
Great atmosphere but no aggro. They know where the priorities are.
Enjoy the game, enjoy the fun but no trouble.
Gridiron in America is not affected by crowd troubles. Opposing fans camp out in the car parking areas and have barbeques next to each other with no problems. Why oh why does football have these problems?
Rant over I think.
It is not that I dislike football far from it but just get it into proportion.
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
