Honestly, football has been a small part of my life since I stopped actually playing myself around 18. We all love the sport but when you drill down, all it actually is, is a form of entertainment that sees you live vicariously through a group of 11 millionaires that you don't know and never will know. The group of millionaires changes every few years, the shirt colour stays the same. I get the whole 'feeling of belonging to a community' thing but I don't personally subscribe to it religiously. Football remains a form of entertainment for me, not a life or death religion, so I can never understand the sort of fans that do shit like this (or hooligans in general - angry, frustrated young men with nothing else going on in their lives, who feel a sense of achievement from 'representing the shirt' in a fight. Get a life).
