That seems a stupid waste of money all they are doing is treating symptoms when they COULD have used that money to help cure the CAUSE. The council has had to spend an extra £1million on more social workers. Dear Council - either this is a poor bandwagon jumping on excuse OR you are wasting your money because this is ONLY going to get WORSE. 2 mil we could have done something and removed the cause... Anyone heard any ACTUAL stories to back this article up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone heard any ACTUAL stories to back this article up? The Echo are desperate to sell papers and advertising, their US owners want the paper to make more money but that's desperately poor journalism even from them! Still, some of them would get a job writing for Saints OS! Seriously though, how can any sport be an excuse for domestic violence and hitting someone you are supposed to love? Whoever wrote this needs their brain replacing and the "Editor" that approved it as well. Then Echo journalists wonder why there is the threat of redundancies?

No Dubai, it was in the Echo at the weekend mate and on the front page. Type it into Google and you'll find it. The Mirror are just going for a cheap filler from a round-up of the local papers in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have of course no proof, but from some of the moronic bile that gets vented on this very site I could well believe that people do take it out on "er indoors". You only have to look at the "we should take administration if we lose next Wednesday" crap to see that people's grasp on reality is very feeble.

You only have to look at the "we should take administration if we lose next Wednesday" crap to see that people's grasp on reality is very feeble. Anyone who does needs their brain examining. Whilst people sound off and swear at games and might get a bit OTT on here occasionally, there is no justification for and a chasm of difference between that and physically assaulting someone you "love". That type of person would simply find something else as an excuse to use their fists and there should be no justifying of links between SFC, actually any football or sporting result, and this issue. I've said before that the violence at the Doncaster game was out of order so domestic violence is 200% worse again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said before that the violence at the Doncaster game was out of order so domestic violence is 200% worse again. A copper who I know - and has worked in Southampton and other large cities - said there was no question that a bad result/bad spell for a team is linked to a rise in domestic violence. People don't look for excuses to hit their partners - they just do it when they're in that sort of mood, to take out their own 'problems' on them. A poorly performing football team is just another thing to put them in that sort of violent mood where they don't mind slapping their 'loved' one about.
