When the 30 year rule is up, I confidently expect that the Landsdown 
Rd riot will turn out to have included only about 2 thugs. All the 
rest will have been undercover detectives and sociologists operating 
as individuals - must've been the case, from the amount of analysis 
generated. You notice that when they invaded the pitch, they 
mainly danced around looking tuff?  That might explain the bombs; you 
probably can't rip up seats  in peace and quiet now without wondering 
whether you're going to be in an academic journal.
