At the moment they are "alleged" lawless thugs.
If they aren't then the courts will hopefully find them innocent (if it even gets that far).
I'm not getting involved but to some law abiding members of the public they find it their duty to help the police. I don't consider that "grassing" as some would put it.
I don't know any of them but although I'm not a fan of the group that it has been alluded that they belong too, i wouldn't get involved if I did as to me it's up to the Police and club to find them.
IF however, a group had been involved in beating up defenceless people and I knew who they were then I would have to wrestle with my conscience with that one.

somebody on here knows these people.

if you do, you have a moral obligation to report those guys to the police...you can not get away with breaking the law, just because its at the football.

Why?

How would you feel if something happened to your wife and anyone who knew something just turned the other cheek as you seem to be advocating.

If something happened to my wife? This wasn’t death wish 2, I wasn’t aware that they were running round bashing up and raping people?

I am just assuming that he was on a wind up as I have never met anyone that talks like he did in his post. I think that he probably was on a wind up.

A bit of shoving is somewhat of an understatement.

The opening post states "They allegedly threw fireworks and after Police apprehended one of them the group then charged and attacked the police so that the fan would be released.

It doesn't sound like "a bit of shoving" to me

Shoving is what used to happen on the Holmesdale terrace in bygone days.
It would appear that the activities of the 14 are of a more serious nature.
One suspects these chaps with sinister looking attire wouldn't dare to behave in such a manner outside the West Ham or Millwall grounds.
