Line 3:

Football Hooligans merge the act of supporting one's "team" with hooliganism, the practice of engaging in mass fights, lawless riots and general disruption of order - most Hooligans wait until after a match to engage in mass brawls but some will attack and ruin games, throwing items at players, waving hate-symbols and inciting others to violence.

Football Hooligans are notorious and greatly focused on in the media, though some criticize this (much as they do coverage of anarchists) as giving thugs "free publicity".

Football Hooligans are notorious and greatly focused on in the media, though some criticize this (much as they do coverage of anarchists) as giving thugs "free publicity". Some hooligans do not like media coverage and will attack and threaten anyone who attempts to film them.

Infamous Football Hooligans include the [[Hibs Casuals]] and the Chelsea football gangs, who developed the [[torture]] known as the "Chelsea Smile" (a variant of the [[Glasgow Smile]]) - despite their infamy in Britain these hooligans are considered "tame" compared to some hooligans from other parts of Europe and Latin America, who have invented many ways to cause havoc.
