Up in Newcastle and have just witnessed what happens in a regional derby where both sets of fans clearly hate each other. Jesus. Riot police. Horses. The Sunderland coach getting pelted with everything coming out of Gallowgate. Sunderland fans getting pelted with cans and whatever is to hand. A Newcastle fan who had clearly had a heart attack in the street with swarms of medics and riot police around him. And his mates then f*cked off to the game. I have never seen anything like it. All in the name of football. |  | | |  |

I was up in Newcastle for their game at Sunderland,and a lot of the Geordies were already drinking by 8am,even though the pubs weren’t supposed to be opening early.
They do tend to take it quite seriously up there. |  | | |

Better that than the SW6 derby where the fans exchange wine corks and prawn sandwiches across the street. | | | |

What football is all about. Pure hatred. I’ve never liked Chelsea and never will. Cannot stand anything connected to that club. | | | |

It's all performative nonsense isn't it? I just watched Spurs fans welcoming their team coach with flares and the like. It's utter tripe.
Goto the frikkin pub like a normal human and have a few pints and get stuck in when the game starts, when it matters. |  | | |

When they played on Christmas Day, they met halfway and exchanged dirty pictures of their wives. | |

I spoke to one of the police after the game. He said they hadn't seen anything like that for years (even allowing for the fact that the derby has been played for 10 years).
And the guy who had the heart attack died in the street. | | | |

If you get a chance go to Rangers v Celtic. That is pure, pure hatred and way beyond anything we have in England. It has a real nasty sectarian undertone to the whole game. | |

Attended a Celtic v Rangers final at Hampden Park.
Pure vitriolic nasty hatred. No interest in ever experiencing that again. | | | |

The cup game the other week was a great example. Celtic had the whole away end for the first time in years and the atmosphere was electric real old school stuff, not the pretend YouTube choreographed versions you see today.
The away team winning on pens and celebrating on the pitch only added to the occasion. | | | |

You have to draw a line though. Rio de Janeiro is probably one of the most dangerous cities in the world but you go to a Botofogo-Fluminense or Fluminense-Flamengo derby in the Maracana and both teams mix and ride home safely in the metro after the game. | | | |

According to the Chronicle the man is in a stable condition,but that might’ve changed since that report. | | | |

Good, very pleased to hear it. He was being shocked when we saw him.
The comment was from the police officer I spoke to outside the ground. | | | |
