Brilliant piece of writing this, reading recommended

One of the best pieces of journalism I’ve read on sport in a long long time, superb, well done Tobias Jones.

Is it about how great Derby is?

As we’re playing Palace today and it being somewhat related - anyone get ticked off at the glorification of European hooligans with the whole ‘Ultras’ tag? Its such a stupidly ‘positive’ way of describing what are essentially gangs of thugs and bullies.

It starts off fantastically by having a title related to the content.

I can see why Barry is so impressed.

No. Why?

I asked because if you were studying you’d have no chance of graduating if that comment was anything to go by, its obvious you didn’t read it as it far from glamourizes the Ultras, Mafia, Juventus and others, it is a brilliant piece of journalism dealing with Italian society and football in general and I’d be surpirsed it didn’t win an award, a superb piece of journalism.

Oh no no no. I’m not criticising that article at all - just making the point in general. My bad, perhaps I should have made that clearer in the post.
