AFC360PUNK1320 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 It was a sad day when the Gayfield Boot Boys had to retire for the in-coming Arbroath Soccer Society (A.S.S.), D.M.'s and white skinners and Crombies replaced by trainers and tennis gear......36-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Jag Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Ayr, Killie and Airdrie were guaranteed punch ups throughout the 80s according to the da’s that I go to the games with. Airdrie rivalry still alive and well to this day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder how some clubs just seemed to attract so much attention for this, Airdrie up here, Millwall down south etc, makeup of the club of geography driven? I'm sure it used to be the case that if you were done for it up here you'd have to book into the police station when you're team was playing, must've been crippling for job prospects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser_soze Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I can remeber a bunch of 'Aberdeen' fans in the home end at Starks Park circa 82/83, wearing Pringle jumpers, I was about 13 or so and just thought fannies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 There's a couple of sad old guys on the Killie boards who occasionally feel the need to hint at past casual behaviour. Astonishing how quickly life has moved past these types. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or get them on the pitch at half time for a 10 minute 60 year old dad rumble. Great idea. Would give us some entertainment at the break watching them chasing each other around the pitch and posturing, with no one actually landing a punch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Awaydays is the best football hooligan film, it’s certainly got the best soundtrackAre there still youth subcultures the way there were in the 70s and Early 80s? Skinheads, mods, punks, casuals, soulboys etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North British Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 My first viewing of the casual scene at Ayr was I think in the May of 86 , away Ayrshire Cup tie at Rugby Park where a group of young guns went into the Killie section of the enclosure in front of the stand . The following season after relegation it’s fair to say their numbers grew and they had their own bus going to most games . Ayr Service Crew was born . However agro at football was not a new thing and prior to the ASC there was the Ayr Troops , a band of skinheads from the Lochside area if I remember correctly and before them in the late 70’s and early 80’s a mixture of all youth cults , punks , mods , skins followed the club . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the days before hard drives, or even VCRs, would they just check the magazines under Stephen Graham's character's bed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d watch that Yup pretty much 90% of casual fights I’ve ever witnessed. Walking down Links Street after the Rovers v Pars game where the floodlights failed and found myself amongst the “the casuals” outside the Estuary Bar. Shouting, posturing, don’t think I saw a single punch thrown and then the Police turned up. I got bored went inside for a pint, they were still posturing at each other across the police line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinheads nowadays tend just to be punks that went bald so they became skins by default. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
