5.0 out of 5 stars
Yet another top read by Brimmo.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Barmy Army: The Changing Face of Football Violence (Paperback)
After all the negative hype surrounding this book, I expected it to be a bit duff but it turned out to be a great read. Two long and brilliantly researched chapters about the history of the scene dominate the first half and the remainder is taken up with usual opinionated but accurate attacks on the police, the media and the game. It's inevitable that some people will dismiss this book as a rehash (and in truth there is a lot that's been covered before but the book is actually better for that) but there's actually a lot that hasn't been covered before and which brought back a lot of memories (remember taxing?). And for those who know the scene, a glance at the credits shows some interesting names.

A storming read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Barmy Army: The Changing Face of Football Violence (Paperback)
Another brilliant read from the Brimson stable. If you want to know about football hooliganism but don't want any of the "I woz there" type stuff, this book is a must.

A blinding read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Barmy Army: The Changing Face of Football Violence (Paperback)
With more hooligan books hitting the shelves than ever, it's always good to see a new Brimson book. Because unlike most of the others, they take a critical overview of the situation rather than go down the 'we did them and never got done' route.This one is probably the strongest they have written so far and certainly, by the end, it even had me questioning my own role in the spread of hooliganism. And I'm no lad, just a normal football fan. But one does wonder why the authorites don't take heed to his warnings. After all, he's been proven right almost every single time. A must read.
