I think it has gotten worse and blame social media to a degree. It’s so easy for people to hide behind a keyboard and stir up trouble which then spills out whether on the football terraces or in a school playground. Gang violence has increased in parts of the country because of it and the need to save face when people give out stick online. As Ian says it is the minority, but unfortunately they make the headlines over the majority of well behaved fans.
You only have to look at some of the antisocial behaviour at the front of the kop at times last season. For the first time in years I saw things thrown onto the pitch and I end up not looking forward to big games when all the groups of lads turn up, all wearing the same clothes and just there for trouble. Social media not totally to blame but the more that is reported and filmed on tik tok etc, the more people think it’s ok.
I’ll get off my soapbox now but I’m glad when I was a teenager there wasn’t all this Snapchat,tik tok, peer pressure and FB etc.
