Besides, were would this sort of thing end? Next thing you know British customers will be lobbying Markus to add game delay events emulating hooligans storming the field & racist chavs chanting offensive slogans at minority players.

Don't believe the hype I've been watching football for longer than I care to remember and still haven't seen a pitch invasion unless you count when Wigan Athletic have ever got promoted which was after the game had finished and only to celebrate, I've just been to every game that they have played in the Prem and Cup games which was over 20 games with over 20,000 at each game yet never saw a invasion or even a fight at any game. You should talk to people who go to games rather than read the media hype.

I'm British and I don't want this in real life sports, why would I want it in the computer games I play?

This is quite an interesting read (those who have a problem with the 'Manchester' Guardian should probably avoid

)

Yeah, that's Philadelphia all right. Philly "fans" are infamous for booing Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt while he was playing for them, cheering opposing players' serious injuries, throwing batteries at J.D. Drew, and even, I kid you not, booing Santa Claus.

Some comments on how bad Phillies "fans" are:

"Phillies fans would boo a wake." - Joe Dugan

"Some of these people would boo the crack in the Liberty Bell." - Pete Rose

"You know what they do when the game's rained out? They go to the airport and boo landings." - Bob Uecker

They really are something to be ashamed of.

Q. Why does Europe has football hooligans, while America has Phillies fans?

A. Europe got first choice.
