When Scotland Play

TB, are you trying to say that there isn't any violence in and around Scottish football?

Now that Arsenal have Identified the person who threw the Bannana thus proving that it was nothing to do with the scotland fans will Nilmar be quick to say he was sorry for accusing the scotland fans of being racist??? I doubt it

I would say that if you take the old squirm out of it there is little to no trouble at league matches in scotland

To be fair the only trouble I have seen at football games has been at Wolves, The mad stad when Millwall came in the 99/00 season and a few occasions when Cardiff have visited.

I have been to the Majority of the grounds in Scotland and I have seen nothing of note however St Johnstone dont really have a troublesome following.

The only time i felt uneasy was going to Parkhead (mainly because of the area it is in). Walked to Ibrox mingling with the Rangers fans and not a problem

I did see the Inverness Calley Goalkeeper get hit with a toilet roll when they were playing Ross county in a Highland league tie about 15 years ago but not sure if that qualifys as violence or just a lucky shot

I don't think there is any real difference between the violence that follows either league to be honest.

The only difference is the volume of fans in England makes the minority who get involved a bigger number than the similar minority in Scotland.

I've been to a few games in Scotland, and they've pretty much passed off without incident (I've not been to any Old Firm or Aberdeen games mind) much as the same as England. I know it goes on though as I've heard a few of the 'stories'.
