Subject: RE: BS: Britain tops the yobs league
Shields folk Soccer was the termed used in Ireland to distinguish Association football from Gaelic football,and this goes back a very long way, well before the Yanks used it, no one here seems to be annoyed about it`s use.
Gaelic games can have the odd fight but mostly between the teams on the field, I have taken English relations to our Gaelic games at Croke Park and they too remarked at the non-segregation of the rival fans.
Rugby League games in England have never had any trouble with rival fans fighting after games, as the two teams go at it hammer and tongs, likewise with our Gaelic game, not to mention Rugby Union again no crowd trouble.
Like England, Soccer here seems to draw the yob element, but thankfully the Clifonville yobs rioting on Saturday is rare enough.
