[Salopbaggie]

Some totally over-the-top comments here! (Ground-closing??!!) We've got a top reputation compared with most other Clubs and have done for 60+ years (since chanting and Ends took off). D*ngles - on the other hand - have one of the worst reputations, so let's get some perspective. TV coverage didn't show the cause or the sequence, but I'm sure it wouldn't have even started without D*ngle fans going over-the-top.
I hate football violence, and I'm pretty placid, but I'd have naturally gone mad if some D*ngles had somehow got tickets for the Home End and all of a sudden got gobby and celebrated AT OUR END next to me. It's HUMAN NATURE, and part of local rivalry. How it escalated you can only guess. Anyone know?

ps  on another point.....
Stairs:  I'm using asterisks for D*ngles (and I could have really 'offended' by calling them T*tters). Hope that's acceptable. But WHY can I offend Islam, but not Semitism (as per your instructions)? 

I assume you mean my comment about ground closure being "over the top". I think you may have taken it out of context I did not mean permanent closure, I assumed that obvious when the bit before it mentioned partial closure, Perhaps a better way of saying it would be games played behind closed doors (closing the ground to fans either partial or fully) and I assure you that is quite possible, so not over the top at all.
