Hooligan Wars [DVD]

Product Information

Peter Day, the series creator, thinks that even a decade ago he was depicting a culture that was fading. "In Britain, we're taking about a small period of time," he says. "Most of the people in the film are over 40 and it's nostalgic, preserved in aspic, that football violence like that doesn't really happen anymore." The actor has kept busy since the show ended, appearing in soaps including EastEnders and Coronation Street. The Football Factory je više nego samo istraživanje engleske opsjednutosti nogometnim nasiljem, o muškarcima koji traže vojske da se pridruže, ratovima za borbu i mjestima pripadanja. Zaboravljena kultura anglo-saksonskih muškaraca hranjena je s rekavši da nisu dovoljno dobri i koristeći svoje šake kao lijek koji opisuju kao moćniji od seksa i droga staviti zajedno. Snimljen u dokumentarnom stilu s energijom i živahom ručni, The Football Factory je zastrašujuće stvaran, a ipak pun bolnog humora, jer se četiri lica pojavljuju krajnje misli i akcije.

Fist S and Baddiel I (2005) Bottle: the Completely True Story of an Ex-Football Hooligan. (Edinburgh: Mainstream). What the hit and tell genre provides, as has been seen, is a possible cultural criminology supplement (7) for post-subcultural studies. Methodologically it allows academics to add events, stories, language and colour to a history of youth culture which was already partly written at the time in the 1970s and 1980s. It provides material for reflection and correction of previously mistaken assumptions. It adds to a ‘rough’ popular memory around sport studies and subcultures and further identifies ‘faces’ and ‘top boys’, however partially, so that sustained ethnographic, participant observation, work can be undertaken with ‘old boy’ hooligans in various contemporary firms. Lastly, it provides the possibility of repairing the gaps in contemporary knowledge of football hooligan subcultures within post-subcultural studies.The reformed hooligan said this environment was more appealing than the “repressive and expensive” Football League as he warned footie thugs are still thriving, just not where you would traditionally expect to see them.

For analysis of ‘football hooligan’ representations as a genre, see the work of Emma Poulton (2006, 2007). Robson G (2000) ‘ No One Likes Us, We Don’t Care’: the Myth and Reality of Millwall Fandom (Oxford: Berg). Heavy-duty policing, in which away fans were "bubbled" in official coaches brought in convoy with a police escort, helped keep the peace: Not a single arrest was made at either fixture. It's September 2014 and West Ham United are holding a press launch for Club London, a corporate hospitality programme for the move into the Olympic Stadium in summer 2016. As is customary at such events, first-team players are wheeled out to speak to the media. New striker Enner Valencia, fresh from scoring against Liverpool in a 3-1 victory, has a huddle of reporters around him, and he gives his reasons for choosing to become a Hammer. We're all football supporters," he adds. "You'd do anything for the club. If it went off in a boozer, say you [the writer] was there, you'd probably join in. You wouldn't want to get a Bic [razor] on your head, so you'd be right at the front. Well, after about four pints or so."

Friends comments and ratings

WHEN FOOTBALL VIOLENCE takes place these days, the kind that Hotshot recognises, it is almost exclusively away from stadia. Yet, 20 years beyond that rave movement's height, hooliganism's identity survives and has spread beyond Britain to be copied and imitated across Europe and even further afield. Redhead S (ed) (1993a) Rave Off: Politics and Deviance in Contemporary Youth Culture (Aldershot: Arena).

Buglioni G and King M (2006) Bully CFC: The Life and Crimes of a Chelsea Headhunter (London: Headhunter). The hooligan fiction genre has been frequently attempted but without anything like the same panache or historical accuracy as Kevin Sampson (6), John King or Irvine Welsh (Anderson, 1996; Eddie Brimson, 1998a; Dougie Brimson, 1998b, 2000). Its literary versions, added to the hit and tell memoirs, make rich starting points for academic ethnographers.Here comes this German woman who makes this movie people a lot of Brits think are dirt," says Alexander. "But it's not only a British thing, it's everywhere but America, and at least hooligans don't run around with guns. There is a resistance to it, that was personal, it was about who did it, and how. That put a cloud over how hugely successful it is. Hooliganism is a dying problem in English football if you examine official figures. "Football stadia today are safe and welcoming places, offering good quality facilities to supporters," reads the English Football Association's summary of measures to prevent football violence. "There are no pitch perimeter fences. All stadia in the top two divisions, and many in the lower divisions, are all-seated. Supporter violence inside stadia is very rare. Some hooliganism does take place, but on a very limited scale and usually some way away from the stadium environment." A lot of the problem now is young kids, we're talking between 14 and 18 years old, are dressed up in the Stone Island gear," Stott adds. "If you blew on them, they'd fall over. But they get a strong sense of identity from this stuff." Across the road, posters in the windows of the Boleyn pub invite fans to join an online petition urging the mayor of Newham to stop the statue’s proposed move to the former Olympic Stadium in Stratford, four miles down road but a continent away in emotional distance. “The way I look at it,” the lady behind the bar says as she pulls a pint, “I mean, Bobby Moore and them never played at Stratford, did they?”

Redhead S (2008a) The Jean Baudrillard Reader. (Edinburgh/New York: Edinburgh University Press and Columbia University Press) If our generation had been in the army, we'd be talking about that, but we all missed out on the [Second World] war and became an army on the terraces. Like the oldies used to talk about Singapore or dropping into Cairo or something, we talk about going to France to fight St Etienne or things like that."

Citing examples, he claimed some Leicester City thugs also follow Histon, Nottingham Forest yobs may go to Mansfield games and Wolves nutters are known to frequent Telford matches. WHEN UNITED AND City get to have their organised fights, it only happens once every two years," Colin Blaney says. "It's usually up in Oldham in a car park. It never really happens at the football, and I'm glad." U većini zemalja imamo dosadnu i dugu ljetnu pauzu, gleda se Svjetsko prventsvo a uz to bi dobrodošao i koji navijački film. Arguably the outstanding literary fictional account of British football hooliganism is former manager of The Farm Kevin Sampson’s first novel (Sampson, 1998a), set in the late 1970s around the activities of Tranmere Rovers football casuals. Sampson is also author of a number of other novels on youth culture, popular music and gangs (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006) and an excellent non-fiction ‘ year in the life’ diary of being a Liverpool fan (1998b) Postavljen u osamdesetima, Dom je tinejdžer koji se nalazi u karizmatičnom svijetu nogometnih casualsa, pod utjecajem vrhunskog dječaka tvrtke Bex. Prihvaćeno od strane bande za brzo usta i smisao za humor, Dom uskoro postaje jedan od dječaka. No, kako se Bex i njegova banda sukobljavaju s konkurentskim tvrtkama širom zemlje i spiralnim spiralama izvan kontrole, Dom shvaća da želi – sve dok ne uči kako nije jednostavno odmaknuti se.
