      One way to deal with hooliganism (Video)

      Football hooliganism has, thankfully, not been a problem in our country for some years now. Unfortunately, there is still the odd occasion (Milwall at last year's FA Cup semi-final, for example) but on the whole it is generally quite a safe experience going to a football match these days.

Now it would seem that my feelings at the time have been confirmed with the terrible news that a fan was killed on Monday at the Estudiantes versus Lanus league game.
