tracy123 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Now this is not an attack or sour grapes but just something to debate On the outside looking in, it's great to see the flags flying, the get togethers and all of that pride that people say doesn't exist in England anymore but what about all of the things we dont see....... domestic violence, drink driving, drunken related incidents, then all of the extra pressures caused to the NHS, police and fire services etc "During the 2006 World Cup, Humberside Police saw reports of domestic violence double, while nationally there was a 30 per cent rise" Search - Telegraph So is watching England try to win the world cup worth all of the lives that will change because of it?

Guest Working to fish Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Just as bad as watching the ozzies some may say . The match i am talking of, did you stay up and watch :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 The world cup officials nor the team are responsible for the action of others. No one is making them people resort to domestic violence. They only have themselves to blame - drink isn't an excuse either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theonetruechris Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 On the subject of increased domestic violence, I taked it its the footballs fault not the alcohol or being a neanderthal meathead. At least lay the blame where it deserves to be. Oh and Australia surely didn't expect to be Germany. Did they?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Person A goes out to pub to watch the football match, person A drinks to much..... team loses Person A is angry goes home beats up partner Is it the drink or the team losing? neither it's the person but put all 3 together..... Some people don't really need a reason do they? but lets face it any football match I'm sure these stats spike, I guess it's worse as the whole country supports the 1 team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Que Sera Sera Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Matts been watching footage of Perth Glory supporters (his adopted new team when we get there! :biglaugh:) and they are watching football and holding a lager too, Matt can't wait looks like I'm driving then! :eek: Now that can never be done in the UK so I wonder if there is difference in the levels of violence etc or is it just UK supporters that cant be trusted?:swoon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
