Best/Worst Derbies ?

[Fedayn]

Wasn't a derby, but that happened at a Wales game some years ago.

That was a flare wasn't it? This was fired, with a metal tube used to 'aim'. Mental.....

Celtic v sevco used to be tasty and city and town centres can still be wild but the games themselves are heavy policed but I think the army will be required the 'next' time we meet. If they havent folded again by then

Blues v Villa - in the years it happens - tends to have its moments of unpleasantness.

The weakest 'derby' is probably Stranraer versus Queen of the South (the Dumfries and Galloway derby). Its been called a 'derby' by the Scottish press but Palmerston is over 70 miles away from Stair Park. So not much local rivalry.

You have never been around the grounds/city centre after such a Derby I take it?

No, why would I go to watch a team I don't support? I can imaging the scenes though, "Get off my land", "I'll mow you down with my combinedhavester" etc. I've been in Berlin after England have played if that's relevant some how?

So, you're making a comment about the Everton v Liverpool Derby from a position of ignorance then?

Oh that one yes, it was based on a reliable source, the media! Don't you get blue scarfs out of one car window and red out the otherside?

Back in the 70's and 80's there was a kind of 'Dundee' mentality amongst some of the firm. Small numbers of both would mob up against the away team. Bit weird, also spread to the fans on numerous occasions, though the post Hillsborough FA Cup final was understandable. Recently lots of Kopites have complained about the atmosphere at Goodison being aggressive and hostile and that they get grief if they get tickets in the Everton ends..... Fucking unreal those cunts.
Outside has always been a bit nasty, rarely if ever gets reported though.

Yes, Everton and the RS are definitely the best of pals

Sheffield Derby has been known to get a bit fight happy in the city centre before and afterwards, I was a student (and Wednesday fan) there and watched from my window as running battles erupted below in the side streets.
