I know a lad who knows the fella who got stabbed. The injured partyâs son was playing in match and he ran in to protect ref and was stabbed in leg. He is fine now.
Looks like he was trying to hit some lad behind her.Too many young fellas getting tanked up now heading into matches.Stewards need to started refusing entry to some of these bucks.
The GAA should be opening the corner section for matches like todayâs. Both because it looks better aesthetically for the viewer and because it might give a better chance of averting these sort of incidents.
There was plenty of spaces today, absolutely no need for that carry-on.Unless that Kilkenny lad was pissing down on him thereâs absolutely no need for that.
The trouble seems to occur at the âjoinâ between the two sets of âKopsâ. It seems to me to be almost like a territory thing. It seems to happen up towards the back of the terrace where the respective Kops congregate.
At least if you had both sections open, there is more space to breathe, also the corner section of the terrace being empty looks shit on telly.
Id say this kind of shit happened a lot in the 70s and 80s died off a lot during our generation (not completely but less of an issue) and is back again now. Possibly linked to youth unemployment, alienation etc. Or maybe we were just sound.
In the 70s and 80s a lot of bad stuff was driven by genuine boredom and lack of opportunity.
Now itâs not linked to youth unemployment anyway, Ireland is at full employment. Thereâs a definite culture of alienation and wallowing in anger and self pity though thatâs being driven by toxic online subcultures as well as by real issues like the cost of rent.
Itâs almost like society is becoming so atomised that occasions like this become a hyper expression of tribalism. Young people (and people in general) now have the tools to never, ever be bored, but yet a lot of them think theyâre bored because their attention spans have turned to mush, they crave dopamine highs, and a small minority of them go mad on occasions like todayâs. Itâs like Hardy Bucks mixed with McGregorism. Itâs the same dynamic which produces the ramming of Garda cars in Cherry Orchard.
