"Not just an 'English disease'"

If you follow NFL, you probably know that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (my team!) beat the Oakland Raiders 48-21 in Superbowl 37 on Sunday. Apparently, the Raiders fans weren't too pleased about it...

Cops fired tear gas and rubber pellets at rioting Raiders' supporters on Sunday.

Boozy fans went on the rampage in Oakland, California, after their team's 48-21 drubbing 500 miles away in San Diego.

The mob set over a dozen cars on fire and hurled stones and bottles at motorists. Three firemen were injured in the disturbances and police arrested 65 people.

More than 400 cops dealt with the violent attacks that erupted along the city's International Boulevard.

Crowds gathered again after being dispersed but officers had the situation well under control by midnight.

So next time you hear someone saying about hooliganism being "an English disease", put them straight.

"Inordinate"? That's our usual fan-base you're talking about :P

Nah, being serious; I suppose there'd be a few more Arsenal supporters...if they weren't so cocky.

:D

BWAHAHAAHAHA!!

I'm sorry about these double-posts.

I'm downloading stuff, so I when I "Reply", it says the page couldn't lod, I have to refresh it, and then I have to add a "message" to the post.

SO, I do that, and it posts twice.
Again, I'm sorry. And I'll let it load now, regardless of how long it takes.

*(sorry this is doing my head in, it's STILL loading this first post as I type this)*

Happens to me all the time. When I can be bothered, I go through the proces of opening a second window when it tells me it didn't load and refreshing the thread to see if it posted anyway.

But then, I have more bandwidth to play with than you do...

The first sketch of my reply to that was:

*Prepares to thank IB later*

But then I realised how people can twist that to say things it doesn't.

well, I quoted it anyway, and that's still there for reference.

You can thank me later =)

Aye, it's been deleted. Now I know why I chose my name as approprietly as I did.

But seriously, SR could just have changed the O to an I like Wookie said.

(Partly because I thought it was quite funny; without the racial content :)
