Football

I love watching the odd game of football but hate the malevolent attitude of some of the fans.
Note the word contains 'male' and almost 'violence'.  The disgusting fans at Leeds this week singing to MU - 'who's that lying on the runway?  who's that dying in the snow?' with reference to the Munich Air disaster which happened over 50 YEARS AGO sent me running for the off switch on my TV.  Yet! although many people might have been hurt and disgusted
at what they heard (despite the sound engineers desperately trying to fade it out) nothing is ever done about it because of the old enemy money.   It's good to read that some countrys take this thing rather more seriously than we do.   In Sicily - Cantania were ordered to play for 4 months in an empty stadium in a neutral venue because of the behaviour of their fans.
This week the Turkish Football Association banned all male fans from the stadium and instead invited women and children only.....41,000 turned up for the game.  'We have to thank the ladies for coming to support us' said one of their star players, whilst another said
'They kept on singing and instead of foul language, pure drunkeness and violence, they applauded and threw flowers.'   The women and children partied long into the night and cheered their team on to victory.   We surely can learn something from this as can their next door neighbour Iran, where women are known to have attacked by state police for attempting to watch football.    The Turkish Football Associated are watching this carefully and might use the idea again if the males don't come to heel - after all can you imagine an
all female crowd singing about people dying in the snow?
