[kj] Celtic fan vs Dida attack

[Leigh Newton]

They spend hours mopping teeth, hair and blood off the floor once the average "Battle of the Bands" type concert has ended.

Well the reason why music attending fans are prone to being more passive than sports attending fans , is that at gigs there is no opposition and there is nothing at stake, you are there purely to watch and listen , and you are all watching and listening to the same thing .
    I'm sure that the atmosphere would be different at gigs if you went to see Killing joke playing against the Back Street Boys and killing joke lost to a last minute song by the Back Street Boys and that meant that Killing joke missed out on three valuable points and all the Back Street Boys fans were gloating and calling you names from the other side of the venue

Well, there are people who passively like sports, and then there are "sports fans" -- people who eat, breathe, shit, shower, shave sports all the time. 


Likewise, there are people who passively enjoy music, and then there are "music fans" -- people who are preoccupied with the listening, accumulation and ephemera of music.


I'm not saying they're mutually exclusive. 


I'm just saying that "sports fans" more often than not tend to be meatnecked, slackjawed idiots. 


This is not to say that all music fans are exemplary human beings, but they're probably less likely to be a slackjawed aped inclined to punch you in the jaw.

So Alex, are you saying that the sport following crowd and the music following crowd are completely separate?
Yes, there may be a few people who are only into either sport or music, but i would say that the vast majority of gig goers also follow a sport .

    Oh Alex, how could you so obtuse , its the same crowd that attend gigs and sporting events . There isnt a separate music crowd and a separate sports crowd, they are entwined .
    Speaking of violence , if anyone is aware of an Arsenal supporter called Denton , he unfortunately died last night
