The picture on the right marks a sinister turn in English soccer violence.The day petrol bombers struck at a football match.
It happened yesterday at Newcastle halfway through the first half of the match against West Ham. A 'Bomb' was hurled into a group of Hammers fans and burst into flames. In the words of a police officer "It was a miracle nobody was seriously injured" And he added "It was an extremely dangerous act. A young man in his 20s is receiving treatment for burns but fortunately his injuries are slight. We're carrying out a full investigation".
The incident was yet another example of how young thugs are dragging the games image into the gutter. Gates are falling and how can you blame decent supporters for keeping away? A policeman said despairingly "This was lunacy. If we find out who did it he should be banned from the terraces for the rest of his life.
