I can't really work from isolated data points like that, but are you entirely happy aligning yourself with the people in that video clip, and the people who inevitably tonight are going to intimidate and assault Italians and smash Italian cars and businesses because they are Ther Lads, and that is how Ther Lads behave?Benpointer said:

FPT - on football violence, Dominic Sandbrook researched this quite heavily for his books on post-war Britain and it basically came down to "it's good fun".
It was a function of mixed generation crowds from grounds being pushed out by the rise of terraces and ticket prices, and social change including the rise of affluence.
The older dads and granddads used to act as a brake on bad behaviour, all part of tight knit working-class communities, but then it got expensive and they could more comfortably watch it at home on the weekends with their families on the telly so the terraces came to be dominated by young men, who were willing to pay and used it as an outlet for their testosterone fuelled fight club fantasies.0 -

Live stream delays are important for in-running betting. On horseracing you are looking at maybe 2 seconds behind, not two minutes like this.

It is interesting how it has become an accepted form of bad behaviour - if any other activity required so much policing to prevent violence, it would be shut down on the spot.Casino_Royale said:FPT - on football violence, Dominic Sandbrook researched this quite heavily for his books on post-war Britain and it basically came down to "it's good fun".

The funny thing is how the partisans of football regard this - IIRC when a football player literally kicked off vs some England rugby players in an Irish pub, some tried to present it as a Thugby problem.0 -
Nothing to do with the player. Encoding the hi def video stream for going over the Web is a inherently laggy operation. Back when flash was the player video streams were much lower bit rate both at source and over the Web.DecrepiterJohnL said:

I contrast that with seeing Bruce Springsteen at the Circus Maximus in Rome.FrancisUrquhart said:
One of the smartest things i experienced was at Rock am Ring in Germany. Its gets 100k people so needs serious crowd control. What they did was have 4 differenet areas at different distances from the stage, all railed off, with a fairly big gap in between each with security.Alistair said:Now this is terrifying. Look how quickly it goes from "crowd" to "crush".
All in a pretty open environment.

Absolute nightmare fuel for me.
If you wanted to go to a different areas, you had to go to the side, out to an open space, and then proceed forward, which was security controlled and there was a traffic light system. Red....full can't come in...yellow..very busy...green...quiet.
You couldn't get the massive wave crush occurring and if somebody did fall ill or rammed against a barrier, it was much easier for the security to get in and help.
And they monitored the numbers, so no area overfilled.
For those who don't know it - the remains of the ancient Roman chariot racing track - just a long straight shallow valley, now.
There were multiple hundreds of thousand of people in it. No anti-crush barriers or attempt at control. No marked clear lanes or routes..... If the back had surged....
I took one look and got us onto the side slope (where the seats were in Roman times). Good view of the concert, as well.
Thankfully nothing happened. But if it had....

A wonderful goal from Shaw, hit the ball hard, low and kept the ball on target, a textbook shot on how to score a goal.
It has been a more exciting game than I first thought.1 -

On some of the more outlandish scare stories:
A million! That’s 850,000 more deaths. MRC estimates the IFR is now 0.085%. A million deaths would require there to be 1 billion people in the UK.
