...............tribalism appears to be   alive and well.

Of what does the old fool speak of now you may think ... well it never fails to amaze me TBH ,  the people  where I live are generally a friendly lot , helpful , all living in the same place ,  all speaking with that funny , sing-song  accent that forever identifies you as a Brummie , sounding like idiots but don't let it fool you,   all getting along , working together , just trying to make a living  .....................

..................  until theres a local derby in the city like last night .

Where is the logic to it  ?     Why don't they hate Liverpool or the Arsenal instead of the neighbouring club?

Tribal dress has to be donned ,  a high level of intoxication is maintained ready to swagger down the mean streets looking for trouble .  

Last night 30 Zulu Warriors  ( Militant arm of the City supporter's club)   burst into a Villa pub  armed with baseball bats and fire crackers, beat up the gaffer , wrecked the bar , fought with opposite tribe members.

Hurling coins at each other during the match     :red card   headbang

thats the advantage of living in an area renowned for being inbreds, they dont fight their own so no tribalism here!!!

(NOTE: I'm not a native of the area, seen as a foreigner, phew!!)

 
Yes its centred on football ,  not rugby etc .      Its pathetic really ..... in the U.S a big American Football game  or baseball game seems to be attended by all sorts , certainly a family outing .
