I mean, surely the whole point of firms etc is the pack mentality of hunting in a group, to get a high from violence. The prey, in this culture being a rival firm who "support" another football team, or anyone who isn't white and working class. If you are white, working class but genuinely do not have an interest in football - do you still get a whack?

Football firms are not interested in beating up a random person in the street. They are only interested in battling other football firms. There has been confusion in the past were someone not in a firm but (for some reason) wearing Stone Island and Burberry wandered around a town on their own.
I've never known a firm randomly attack passersby or non-firm targets. There is nothing to be gained from doing that.

no they will probably only beat you up if you antagonise them about the team they support, definately not if you don't like football well not in the u.k anyway. You will get the odd racist person who will take it too far b/c of your skin colour. The british supporters don't care what class you are from b/c the whole of the u.k is divided by class but we're still of the same country and the brits generally don't care whether you have money or not, if you insult the team they are passionate about supporting then they may get very angry but not all of them are thugs. Some ppl think if you are in the "zone" of a possible fight then you may get smacked. But you get hooligans in every country but i know in the u'k it's not about class or whether you like football or not, it's huge here and ppl often take it too seriously instead of thinking of football as a game.

Football is the game of the common people. Let them at it and stay out of their way. They hunt in packs! Tribalism gone mad. It has no place in todays world. Just an excuse for good looking men to show off their legs and get paid extortionate amounts of money! I mean why do they think they are worth so much.... because they can kick a ball. Big tickle.

If they are a proper firm then no,they will only fight others who are up for it otherwise it proves nothing.Not that it proves anything anyway other than one firm is better than another.Real hooligans do not fight innocent people,however drunk hooligans will have a go at anyone or anything.Proper firms will not get drunk and then fight it will be all pre arranged.

No the organised violence stays is exactly that, designed to get 2 groups together. You are going to get idiots who will hit anyone or anything and that's nothing to do with football, then again neither is the organised violence

not intentionaly, but from time to time mistakes happen, If it's going off and you don't want a smack run like f**k. Prehaps you shouldn't be wearing your reebok classics/ stone island jumper on match days. I would suggest that next time your near some trouble, chuck a few bottles, you might enjoy yourself!

No. They have no interest in attacking 'ordinary' members of the public. There is simply no kudos in it for them. That's not to say you should hang about and finish your pint if it kicks off, though.
