They are, in fact a big, well organised, well equiped gang. Looking for a fight. They don't actually subdue people, they give them a right good beating when they are down. You saw that last night. One chap who was down must have got clubbed at least another 12-15 times. That's a doing, not crowd control.
Having said that, you could sort of see it coming. Especially when a few of your chaps decided to rush the opposition crowd who were taunting them. The Italians just wade in then. They don't really give a feck who they are cluubbing. They see everyone in your crowd as fair game.
There was a depressing inevitability about the whole thing.
