Submit Response is a weblog by Jack Mottram, a Football Casuals and their Brands
grid::brand This post is one of many on the topic of brands, prompted by Ashley Benigno’s idea for a grid weblogging project. You can follow other participants from this RSS feed, or pick from this list.
The UK has had it’s fair share of fashion-led subcultures. Arguably, this tendency dates to the 18th and 19th Century dandies, who either revelled in the strictures of ‘correct’ attire, or plumped for flamboyant, decadent dress, with a hint of gender confusion thrown in for good measure.
By the latter half of the 20th Century, the sartorial descendents of Beau Brummel and his ilk came in waves. 1950s Teds resurrected the Edwardian drape coats that gave them their name (a look revived in the 70s, filtered through Glam, or in its original form). The 1960s belonged to Mods, who morphed into Skin- and Suedeheads, and saw their sharp-suited tastes perrenially revived. Even Punk, whatever the protagonists might say about DIY, post-Winter of Discontent rage and anarchy, was a fashion movement first and foremost: just ask Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm MacLaren.
All these modes share common traits, regardless of the aesthetic - the clothes had to be expensive, they had to be ostentatious, they had to be immaculate, and they had to be worn first by working class young men. Given the high rate of fashion churn between the post-war period and the 1970s, it’s perhaps a surprise that the last great revolution in mens clothing was sparked sometime in 1977 and holds fast to this day - the Football Casual.
I think this has something to do with the brand. Where a Mod might wear any suit, as long as it adhered to the conventions of Italian tailoring, a Casual can’t wear any old tennis shirt: only Sergio Tachinni would do, or Fila, or Lacoste.
At the risk of offending some very scary hooligans who live in London, Casual began on Merseyside. First, when scallies from on and around the Scotland Road in Liverpool merged elements of Punk style with shades of David Bowie’s proto-glam, plus an odd attachment to drainpipe jeans and, of course, the wedge haircut. Then a little later - 1978-9 - scally supporters of Liverpool FC found themselves at a loose end in French and Italian city centres, thanks to their club’s European successes, and took the opportunity to acquire (or, more accurately, steal) sports- and causal-wear they knew fellow and rival supporters back home had no chance of finding.
Despite shifts in popularity over time, the brands favoured by the first casuals are those seen on every British high street today, whether it’s the European away match makes - Kappa, Lacoste, Ellesse, Sergio Tacchini - or brands adopted more recently - Burberry, Stone Island, Acquascutum - and not just on football fans. The seemingly permanent fetish for the early model Adidas trainers that can be seen on the feet of everyone from floppy-fringed indie kids to perfectly respectable middle-aged men began with the early Casual preference for Sambas, swiftly followed by Stan Smiths. That nice shower-proof cagoule you have in the wardrobe dates to Casual anoraks, originally worn over Pringle or Slazenger sweaters, often by Kappa, sometimes by Patrick. Admittedly, you don’t see many folk sporting Inega, Fiorruci or Lois nowadays, but they’re the exceptions that prove the rule.
This sartorial longevity is down to the brands, as much as it is to the enduring (admittedly distasteful) glamour of the well-turned-out football hooligan. To be a dandy, Mod, Punk or Skin involves an attention to detail shared by the Casual, but thanks to branding, that attention to detail can be reduced to a basic list of clothing manufacturers, rather than, to take Mods as an example, an in-depth understanding of the proper number of cuff-buttons and an eye for the correct width of tie. Of course, any old Casuals reading will disagree, as will their Burberry-capped and tracksuited contemporary followers, and they can reasonably cite the subtle differences of Casual attire from football club to football club (the London loyalty to Farah, say, or the short-lived fad for deerstalker hats in the North of England) but the fact remains that Casual was the first brand-led fashion movement to take hold in the UK, and it is branding that has made it last.
In case you’re wondering, when I got up this morning I put on a Sergio Tacchini sweater (in navy blue and red with white piping - mmmn!), dark grey cords and Diadora trainers. Hence this post.

i remember seeing a huge travelling ccs at love street in 1984, we were beaten 2-1, benny brazil scored for us. I was 11 at the time and a wanna be BBC member in a blue lacoste.
Hibs took 150 to that game it was an awesome march to the ground to witness! there was fighting in the St Mirren end which spilled onto the pitch, some ccs had sneaked in undetected. General chaos and disorder reigned all afternoon, i really felt kinda sorry for the inhabitants of paisley that afternoon. -
i remember in ‘85 we lost a midweek night game to the dons 3-0 at easter road. After the game i found myself accidentally in the middle of a mob of 60 ASC on Brunton Place, i didn’t know they were casuals ‘til they started chanting ‘aberdeen’. Shat masell but escaped unscathed

celtic never had a firm and never will
-
Oh dear, its a rant and a half here!! CCS and the ASC arguing about who was this and that. I was in edinburgh for the hibs v leeds match, have to say hibs had a very good turn out but the OB spoiled the party. heard rumours of the ASC being done by the CSF.
it seems to me that the OB are no 1 and we only have our memories of the good clothes, drink, dr*gs and fights we had. GOD I MISS IT!! -
i heard that hibs had a good mob for that game but i also heard that leeds service crew had 350.
We have the return fixture against leeds away at the start of next season, the whyte and mackay cup is supposedly an annual fixture. What upset and annoyed me was seeing lads casuals punching hibs fans who were wearing their colours. -
Hibz casuals all the way CCS u fukin arses well beat ur mob anyday goin 2 leeds in august 2 samsh they daft cunts first
-
The leeds service crew didi have a good mob give them credit for that but hibs will bring coach loads 2 elland road in august and we will have abot 100 baby crew and 200 older for that a would say we have been 2 every game this season and it seems only hibs aberdden and rangers can pull a mob but dundee bring 1 to us last saturday but they are shite bags anbd have been leaving early since 84 any 1 want 2 meeet us for august or a fight send me an email oon [email address removed] n a will get back 2 u CCS back on top
[I edited this comment because I don’t want this site used to arrange fights. A bit of banter is fine, but read the post for God’s sake - it’s about fashion, not kicking the crap out of folk! Anyone else attempting to arrange a meeting will be reported to their ISP, as will anyone making sectarian comments any stronger than Provo Bhoy’s above - Jack]

Glad to see they’ve moved on from all wearing Aquascutum to Paul & Shark but does mean I’m gonna have to burn all my gear now if they vermin are wearing it.
-

Er, I’d rather there weren’t direct threats of violence and/or sectarian crap on my website, thanks.
-
As true aberdonian and worked in Edinburgh for years and went to loads of matches - in both ends - you talk off the fights and crews but realy being a supporter would be fun.
ps was left in Edinburgh when 11 when cousin was arrested for fighting at Waverley in 1981 nae good.
You never hear of the girl crews and we were there week in week out and fought like men when needed.
-
dear alison,
would you consider yourself a casualette? -
Our mob at last game vs Hibs - erm they werent out for that game coz they didnt expect Hibs to appear in any numbers - they’d been bringing 10-20 previously so wasnt worth the bother.
As for the gear our guys wear - gladly compare airmile points for Paul and Shark with any Edinburgh tosser. Collection of Zegna, Stone Island, CP Company and Paul Smith aint too shabby either and unlike you lot I didnt have to steal it or buy fake shit from EBay.
On subject of casualettes - was that slapper in the pink top the CCS bike? Everyone get a ride on her on your buses home?
and finally I was laughing my arse off watching your mob go past the pub window with your police escort. Funniest moment was the wee tosser that looked straight at me and my bro sitting in the window and you could almost hear the cogs turning before he realised who we were - then despite outnumbering us 30:1 managed to stick 2 fingers up at us then turn and run. Motherwell police reckoned you were so serious a threat they actually gave you a whole 2 officer escort :-)

Best trainers I saw - probably my brother’s pink Adidas Gazelle he brought back from canada. Best jacket - probably the Ellesse one I got imported from Italy when you could only get their gear in London or as import.

WHAT ARE YOU ALL ABOUT???
Well what a crock of crap!!
You guys are talking the biggest amount of pish I have ever heard. I can tell you that for sure. As I know how it all started in Edinburgh. As I was one of the originals and it actually started in Aberdeen and West Ham. Scousers were still saying “Gis a job” at that time. It started in Edinburgh when I good mate of mine came down from Aberdeen and went to our school in 1984…when I was 15. He had a Kappa jacket, Tachinni Tshirt, Levi Chords that had an extra piece of Chord (different colour) to make them flares and Dia Dora trainers. We laughed at him and said you look like a right muppet..then in his Aberdeen Accent said “I’m a casual ken”. So from that day it began in Boroughmuir High School and James Gillespies in Edinburgh, the first Casuals where Hearts Casuals in Edinburgh and everyone moved over to hibs…even I did and I am a Hearts fan. As thats what it was all about. The CCS was born and BBC for the juniors. HLC for the ladies. We all stood at the Wimpy in Princess St and the memory of us doing Jenners and stealing all the G2 jumpers still lives on. I can safely say that CCS kicked all arses in Edinburgh to a close Aberdeen who were game as fu**. Those soap dodgers couldn’t fight there way out of a paper bag…and used to trainers to good effect. So to stop your shite argument. Aberdeen were the first casuals in Scotland and it derived from ICF and Millwall so all else keep it clamped as you dont know what your on about. AXEL F who are you?? Where you there when the CS canistor got checked at us by those weegie scum bags Celtic.
Casuals have come and gone…get with it…its a blast from the past…Let it die and enjoy your Football. -
Alrite all you lot out there talking shite, the scousers robbed there way through Europe in the early eighties and started the Sportswear fashions, i was going to Dundee and Utd games when 14/15 in 84/85, even though a life long Celt fan, “Dundee Utility” boys. In Scotland the first boys with the Casual gear was Motherwell we all know that,then A/deen, where were you Hibs boys when the Utility walked down Leith walk with 250 boys, at a Leeds match, ha ha ha.
I miss the old days and still have most of my old togs and trainers, i hate the way evryone’s jumping on the band wagon these days, all the boys who were there at the start know it was more than fighting at football, it was about fashion, looking good for away days and the rest, it was a way of life for a lot of us.
oh and one last thing for all you CCS, ICF boys and the like up here in Scotland, i’ve not been to games for years but last season the Utility ran right over evryone one of your mobs and not one of you can deny it, you Hibs boys wouldnt even come out of Tannadice,
Fleet rule -
who cares what you scotch lads think, you know nada about clothes and spelling and when are you going to put up a fight against us lot then? Good luck in the world cup
-
what a bunch o jumped up dickheads you tossers are stand proud SPD VENGALOYAL
-
Jonny, it’s “Scots” not scotch, so you sort your spelling before you start slagging off anyone else. Fanny.

Dundee Fukin’ Utility, Remember Us!!!!!!!
Member:1985/1992
Best years of my fukin’ life!!!
All you guys who done the shit back in the 80’s/90’s will know what I’m talking about.
1 of clothes, none of this rip off pish that goes about these days.At least when you bought a designer sweatshirt or jeans in the 80’s/early 90’s you knew, and everyone else knew it was the real deal, not like now lol.
Too much fake clothes now and too much fake fuckin’ casuals also.Today’s casuals wouldn’t have lasted 2 minutes in my day, we had balls and stood till the end.i.e. 6 of us stood against a shit load of Hibs in Dundee City Centre, They cunts came from everywhere, I got the shit totally kicked out of me, 137 cuts and bruises, they tied a rope(jumper string?) around my neck and I remember them saying KILL the Dundee bastard, man I had fuckin Timberland footprints all over my body lol, I survived and It was fuckin brilliant.
Afterwards we were pissing ourselves it was class lol.
That was the worst hiding I got and the most fun lol, If there’s any Capital City Service boys reading this from the 80’s/90’s that junkie fuck Bongo was there at the time when I got dood in lol, he’s probably dead now, he was always out of it.
You were in Aberdeen and couldn’t get shit so you phoned Dundee for a liitle scrap which we were happy to oblige, you forgot to tell us how many you had thought ha ha.
There was about 5 buses full, we were fuct from the start lol but as I said it was good fun at the time.I’m 35 now, married, 3 kids and a Scarfer, I love my team now and wouldn’t fight even if provoked, well maybe lol.
Cheers 2 all the Fugs for stirring the memories.
r0nd0. Utility no.1

utility on top non stop#1

After having a few days to think about this shit, Having the cool clothes got you into the mob, staying there was about being a fuckin nutter and fuckall to do with clothes.
Clothes never gained you respect, you done that shit for yourself lol.
Rich guys had the dogs bollocks clothes but were pussies in the field, some guys like me who had good jobs (and clothes) fuct it up for themselves and ended up on the brew.
No new designer clothes but the fuckin heart was there and no-one would say shit to us about clothes incase they got the shit kicked out of them.
The rich pussy people used to pay £1 each towards our train fare to away games cause they knew they would be sort of safe with us lol and they were trying to buy respect but it never fuckin worked.Like I said earlier you earned respect not bought it.
i.e. 6 of us went to Tynecastle and again we got fuct up but at the end of the day my mate was outside the train station and got a surprise kickin, he was my mate so I ran outside punched a few o’ the cunts and pulled my mate in the door, fuckin shiter, I tell you, I don’t know where it came from, my mate had a broken arm and on top of that they poured into the trainstation and we had no choice but to head over the fuckin railway track, and we got done for fuckin’ trespassing, what a joke eh! anyway we got PF letters soon after to say we were off the hook, thank fuck, that would mean another trip to Hearts end of Edinburugh with 6 again.r0nd0 Utility no.1

Sort yourselfs out Edinburgh girls - Glasgow Is rougher and tougher

HAHA! LISTEN TO U ALL. EVERYONE ALL OVER BRITIAN AND ABROAD KNOW ABOUT THE ABERDEEN CASUALS. THE REST OF U BOYS ARE WANNABIES, ALWAYS LOOKIN AT WHAT ABERDEEN HAVE DONE AND TRYIN TO MATCH IT.

I DONT KNOW WHY SOME OF U BOYS BOTHER ANY MORE. ABERDEEN R THE MOST ORIGINAL MOB AND FANS IN SCOTLAND. HIBEES R CELTIC WANNABIES - THATS PRETTY SAD DUT WORST OF ALL IS THE JOKE OF SCOTTISH FOOTBALL HEARTS. I HATE RANGERS BUT FOR SUPPORTERS TO WANT TO BE THEM IS TOTALLY LAUGHABLE. MY MESSAGE TO ALL NON ABERDEEN SUPPORTERS OUTWITH THE OLD FIRM IS - TAKE A LEAF FROM ABERDEENS BOOK, GET SOME BALLS AND GET UR OWN SONGS. ONCE AGAIN THE DONS LEADIN THE WAY! STAND FREE.

go tend your stalls at the barra’s ya weedgie scaffies, check you all in your fake clothes and your fake aftershave, what a joke! celtic casuals come on don’t make me laugh! just so as you know hibs hate celtic just as much as we hate the huns you are both the same thing, just a different colour. You represent religious bigotry, racism and and the all bad things about small minded society on the west coast. I think it would be fantastic if celtic were to beat it and go and play in the irish club league and rangers could go and play in the northern irish league, then we would be rid of this cancer that embarrasses scots like me all over the world, micky bhoy and celtic lad and, pearo and sean get lost and go home to ireland where you can sow your religious hatred and be welcomed, boys just think what that would do for kappa sales on the irish mainland! in your glasgow slums mate, hope the jam tarts thrash you! and by the way you probably would want to fuck davie cooper ya wee faggot!
ps. i always support the edinburgh team over the old firm, always! -

late eighties doing apprenticeship with guys from all over scotland, falkirk fear motherwell ss, ayr united , csc.best dressed ever was guy beattie from fear cost me a fortune in the last 15 years. wore chipie, chevignon, valentino, ralph lauren,timberland, armani, duffer of st george, sadly he died 10 years ago but he lives on in my fashion as i “ran” with celtic after meeting him and ever since have had a great passon for the style but also involved in some dodgy scenarios at the football. had good nights with all several nights with yogi from hibs in falkirk with ss and ccs and fear and other workers full of sweeties which killed the violence a little at those times as in slam in the park etc now over thirty married but still on the fringes and interested in getting back in to he boxing but still well turned out paul smith armani seal kay prada stone island aquascutum and merrel at the end of tthe day it was all about looking good while somsone was trying to rip your shirt off your back and you bought a better one for the return leg anyway.

Re. previous reply violence is comin back in a ig way dur to the backseat of sweeties(E) for ching as the ame atmosphere can now be felt while on a night out as all full f charlie think the are invincible where as full of ectos just want to dance reminds me of late eighties as b4 we use to tan sulph or coke b4 games in mickey finns in ingram street in glasgow b4 games then started taking sweeties and couldnt b bothered going to games but now older more income can afford to take more coke etc it seems to b older guys from my era going back to the scene

actually you fucking fanny it was bbc before hbc back in 1984. Blackley was the manager we had after Pat Stanton you probably don’t even know who either of those boys are you disgrace to the green and white badge ya

‘ah know the boys who started it’, what an absolute load of rubbish u know naebdy and nothing mate, you are as hard as a morning stiffie. You probably only started going to games when we made europe this year. Go support the jam tarts!

very valid call about the chan and eccies, that’s true coke= violence

Aberdeen, Dundee? The only thing hardcore about these boys was the ammount of sheep they shagged! Ronnie McKell stick that in your local newspaper if you can read “lol”? CCS 1 fuck the rest

dear ccs number 1 you should hang your head in shame! learn about your team and their history before you go lipping off to fellow hibbys! it was always bbc, it only became hbc when blackley got sacked!

We will take any one on an if any u celtic pricks want a go next week(19TH NOVEMBER 2005) when rangers go to celtic park am sure we can find a little arrangement to meet an we’ll kick ur cunts in I.C.F.
-
Right, that’s it - any more comments like Graham’s will be deleted. Talk about football, talk about casual fashion, talk about the history of hooliganism all you want, but do not make threats, attempt to arrange fights, or trade sectarian insults.
I don’t want my website polluted with that kind of shite.
And none of you support Tranmere, so you’re all idiots ;-)

Come on now you’s Celtic scarfer fans, and less of the nonsense, most of you’s don’t have a clue. Firstly its not Celtic Soccer Casuals, it’s Celtic Soccer Crew. And whats the pont in giving it IRA etc after every sentence you’re just making us real CSC lads look as clueless as you are.
The Hibs CCS were always seen as the number one mob, but ever mob has had their days.

As a tim, I totally agree with all the abuse given to these fuckwit bigots who post their ira and uvf pish. Scotland can do without it. Worth mentioning that there are plenty of other teams who have fans who give this kind of crap out as well (Hearts, Dundee etc..)Fair play to Aberdeen though, have never heard any sectarion bile from them. funnily enough was called a fenian bastard by a hibs fan once a couple of years ago (2002).

Nice article jack.
I’ve lived in edinburgh for 13 years now but grew up in Northern England. I’ve found it fascinating speaking to different lads from the firms up here and realising that a lot of the fashions were very specific to an area as well as a year.
It was the customising as well that made you stand out from other firms
Jumbo Lee cords with the badge taken off and sewn on the ankle anyone? - which ankle? ours were on the outside right.
splitting your hems so they sat nice over your trainies
kickers with extra tags (but not too many else you looked like a right tool)
I recently saw a deerstalker on Easter Rd, worn with style and respect for the history. the geezer stood out a mile and looked way better than all the clone island kids do at every ground through the UK. It’s not just about being in a mob but standing out in style as well. You can’t fake a deerstalker can you??

Res ponce to that jambo cunt from earlier about being from North Edinburgh snd slagging cunts who went to central schools in Edinburgh. That just shows you that the scum of the capital were driven northwards, out of the town, eventually to turn in to badly dressed aberfifians. Some still remain, masquerading as rats within a deprived gorgie. its not even worth smashing up. TCR CCS Michael Whelehan.

lets get the truth on here eh,back in the day csf had a not bad mob pretty game,ccs were tops in edinburgh,motherwell had a decent mob,dundee boys were fucking sappy as man,as for the no 1 back in the day it was the sheepshaggers though i hate to admit it.both the asc and ccs had massive mobs prob 800 to 1000 boys at there peak csf could pull about 500,disnae matter how many dundee pulled between them they were shitebags and motherwell were the bottle throwers .no1 now to wot i have noticed is the ob theve sussed it out, only took them twenty odd yr to do it though, gie them a round of applause.

I’ve not been into that since the end of the eighties, but I can remember fondly away days to aberdeen, edinburgh, ayrshire etc. It was mostly about fashions and style, as well as being ‘game’. Fashions i distinctly remember were, Dungaree’s, POP84, Pod sandals, Kickers, Lee semi-flares, Ocean Pacific, Chipie, The NEXT ‘great outdoors’ jackets, remember the brown and green hooded ones? they were a staple, also the next ‘golfcourse jumpers’ - the ones in blue or green with the crazy patterns, paisley pattern shirts, diadora, adidas jean trainers, Bjorn Borg, Benetton Rugby shirts, alaska parka’s, berghaus bubble jackets, chunky moccassins, Ricci, Boss, Armani, black 501’s, Crazy fashions!
i remember going to love st once around 87 and there was a boy with a blazer, chinos and ski goggles!
As far as i seem to remember most of the ICF weren#t from glasgow, and were from Irvine\Ayrshire, and they were all mental as fuck, the times yoou’d go via irvine on the train to ayr or killie and they would be at the train station every time, mad bastards! -
Aberdeen were the first real mob in Scotland (1980/81), Motherwell were 2nd (1982), Hibs, Dundee (1983/84), then Rangers (1984), Hearts were skinheads till 1984/85. Aberedeen were easily best organised, dressed and numbers (Oct85), then Hibs caught up and definitely held No 1 (1991 approx)…then any team fcould claim to be best at some time or other. Also, Dundee/Utd although good at home, never travelled from 1983-1988, as there mob could not get it together in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Dundee. Mobs now days would not no what would have hit them in my opinion if faced with 80’s mobs.
-
Burnzy, you must have run with a trampy mob if you got your golf jumpers from next. Here in sunny Leith we favoured Lyle and Scott and Pringle. Black 501’s were perhaps in but that was back in 1983/84 and were well favoured by the Hearts Service Crew as their mob was initially known. I take it you are from Dundee and that is where the dungarees come from. Oor Willie Utility indeed. Get back on your bucket and stop fantasising. What actually happened is that fashions changed on a weekly basis in say 87 - 88. That lasted about six months till the fines started and the police turning up at your door on a Saturday morning to tell your ma you were a casual. Plus, remember that there wasnt really that many labels to choose from. So what happened was that people began to accept all the usual famous labels as acceptable every weekend and they moved into almost mainstream fashion. This eventually lead to the Stone Island, Burberry nonsense as they were initially worn by the “top boys” then the rest of the mob followed and then, to a certain extent, the youth of todays society. It is basic sociology, from deviancy comes the norm. Personally, i wouldnt be seen dead in a Parka. At the end of the day, anyone who was still in it by 1991 was a fighter principally, not a dresser. These days had gone, replaced by E and clubs. Outside the calton studios in Edinburgh, graffiti appeared taunting the boys who didnt run with the mob any more and instead took class A drugs for recreation. What Jack says in his initial article is correct but was to be expected. The casuals were a massive youth culture in the late 80’s , any self respecting clothing company should have sacked their management team if they didnt utilise its potential. Young people cant really imagine what it was like in 1985, there were few places to buy good gear in Scotland, shops like USC have simply filled a large gap in the market at the right time. What should also be stated is that the quality of the clothing has deteriorated rapidly. Remember the old Timberland moccs. The sole didnt wear down. In today’s world, even cars and lawnmowers have what is called built in obselesence. I.e. certain parts are manufactured to wear out in a given period of time. Clothes went the same way a long time ago. I used to have a pair of Polo jeans and the denim was incredibly thick. It is not just clothes that have changed but society. It could be said that casuals were the last stand against society. It was hammered by Maggie Thatcher who, it is said, turned a blind eye to E. Thus, today,the majority of youngsters just get “pure melted man”. Everyone knows society is finished as we know it. The casuals took their moment but didnt see it to the end. They didnt have a chance. Now, where will another spark come from. It will be the next generation and it will be far more violent. That is inevitable as the final end. Big brother, no freedom to even have a shite. The next youth uprising will be stamped upon and various “controlling elements” will reorganise society like a massive ant nest. No deviancy will be tolerated. Perhaps deep down, we all knew what it was all about in the eighties. Not clothes, not fighting, the point was we were young men who saw that the world was a con. It was about the fact that life was not great any more. Why do you you think educational standards have fallen. The goverment realised that too much education was a bad thing. We were the last. Why should anyone have to work fourty hours in a week to if you think about it, to provide food and shelter and clothes. The rich get richer and the poor of today will vanish. the royal bank of scotland has opened a new head office with a shopping mall, hairdressers etc. They have a creche and take the bairns round the complex during the day. The next step will be housing and then we may have a child, born in the bank complex, brought up in the bank complex and taking a job in the bank, before retiring into a bank retirement home. certain individuals have become so brainwashed or unable to think for themselves that they would welcome this. “Yes, our James is doing well for himself, he has a house and job in the Bank” bollocks, our liberty is being stolen. Anyone up for a new revival. CCS . Be all you can be, choose soccer violence

hibs baby crew on top we will do any mob tht is game enough 2 come ahead we r scotland number 1 and u better remember tht
-
hey brian,i think ur spot on but ur taking it a bit far wie the r.b.s and as for reviving the ccs it just won’t happen,well not to extent that it used to be.the old shed mob at tynecastle was probably some of the hardest supporters in scotland at that time who would have wiped out any casual firm off that day,some off the shed mob turned casual and started up the hearts mob (hearts service crew) and then (casual soccer firm).the uk is turning into a police state nearly a cctv cam on every corner off every street u even look or walk the wrong way ur collared and questioned,but brian what i truly agree with you is the day will come this country will explode again,into extreme violence,that the police and the goverment won’t know whats hit them.it will be a reversed trend this time,the 80’s and 90’s was violence then raves and drugs, this present day the drugs are rife the lads are bored,with boredom comes violence then theres football,so maybe i was wrong earlier when i talked about the ccs not getting back there full potential but brian it won’t just be the ccs all the firms csf included will be back big time and nothing will stop them.

listen,i think we should stop this forum now,what a farce its turning into who’s no 1,who wearing what,WHO CARES.what u need to do is stop talking and get back to the games meet each firm with a good old fist fight, no weapons.so come back on here in 6 to 12 months and the storys u will have to tell will be more interesting than what rubbish u young laddies are coming out wie the now,thats if any of u can handle it.some of u will be battered and bruised but fuck what a buzz u would have had believe me u’ll enjoy it either way.so go on lets see u out there.
-
No, we should turn this forum into a discussion of 1980s casual clothing, which, if anyone ever bothered to read the post at the top of the page is what it was always supposed to be about!
There is no such thing as a ‘good’ fist fight.

Trampy mob Brian lol. Nah the Next ‘Golfcourse’ jumpers came a few years after the lyle & scott\pringle days. they were called that because they had crazy patterns on them, you know the ones I mean? they were big about summer 83.
they came in green, blue or red, and had crazy psychedelic swirly patterns. next sucked tho’.
The POP84 parkas were worn about a year later, before everyone turned to crapper labels like berghaus etc -

Tennis clothing had the largest impact on the casual scene in the 80’s anything that was made in Italy ruled! In 1985 Boris Becker won Wimbledon aged 17 in ellesse clothing and it became really big. McEnroe’s tacchini youngline tops were highly desireable, made in Italy and tight fit. Bjorn Borg’s fila line was huge as was any fila item generally as it was made in Italy and made to the highest standards. Then of course Lacoste, worn by Henri Laconte (French tennis player) though i’m sure no-one has ever won Wimbledon in a lacoste. Then there’s the Adidas Ivan Lendl range, all made in Germany with the cool sky blue iceblock design, this was great in polo shirt or tracky with zip-off sleeves. And finally cerutti 1881 which was very rare to get and worn by Jimmy Connors. All this gear was available at Olympus Sports on Princes Street from 1985 onwards, but the real jem was Austin Reed’s downstairs sports department on Princes Street (it had the lot) Fila polo shirts were 29.95GBP in 1985. Also Jenners had a pretty good range. I never shopped at USC it was and still is way too jim!

Dundee Utility???????
I want all scottish firms to know i ran with a street gang from dundee who only fought other street gangs but we ran the utility in the city centre when we were bored about a dozen times coz they are all shitebags.
P.S. if you want to surprise these mice they drink in Ferrari’s Bar on matchdays just down from tannadice, just turn up with 6 guys or under any more than that and you’ll see 50 guys run like the skitters. Utter ballbags. -
