Finally found time to finish it. Jesus Christ you couldn't pay me enough to go to one of those games.

Wait what
Ruck=fight. Short for ruckus. When I lived in England in the 80's, going to a football match was a dangerous affair. There were numerous times when my friends and I had to fight our way out of matches. I was at Villa Park once for a Leeds-AV match and....well, you know. Birmingham fans were the worst. fricking cunts. Being a visiting fan is still no picnic. I have Leeds pals who are always getting attacked in pubs and train stations after away matches. MOT...LUSC!!!!

Had no idea that Juventus fans hated all the English.

it's Juve's ultra groups and since Heysel. ..
in general though there's really seems to be no love loss between any Italian and English ultras. . .

Heysel.
I knew it was something right in front of me. Can't believe I forgot it was Juve on the other end of that fateful day in Brussels. Saw the stadium this summer. It just as awful and broken down as I'm sure it was back then. Our hotel was across the street from it.

I watched that take place on television. Two great clubs were playing that night too. Liverpool with Ian Rush and Dalglish v. Juve with Platini. If I remember right Rush had a broken arm and had to wear a sling but still played. That incident and Hillsborough changed football forever.

I definitely had the sense of walking up to some ominous place in history. Such a sad feeling.

If you like these docs then read How Football Explains the World. It goes more in detail with a bunch of these rivalries.

Read it. Actually did an undergraduate thesis on the idea behind the book. Soccer's interconnectedness with globalization and neoliberalism.

the midlands episode was crazy
but seroously what did you expect Leeds supporters are goons and notoriously racist, what would you expect in a multi cultural place like bham
