    ...if you weren't anything to do with it and just followed it on the news then you don't really know anything about it. It's like me commenting on the Italian resistance.</p>

    Oh, and there's very little bitterness. There's quite a lot of pride if that's any good for you. </p>

    RE: I guess you're trying to draw the line.....

    im from featherstone my dad wasn't even a miner, but all my uncles were and my best friends dad was a scab. i was only nine yet it was still shitty times for me.

    obviously not effected as much as people directly involved in the strike and would never claim to be.

    i won't be chanting scab on the 4th but wont look down on anybody who does. being from fev where i think everyone but my dad did work at the pit. i saw how people were affected and even now there's still at lot of bitterness. i work with people from barnsley who come the 4th will have been to 2 matches this season 1 away 1 home, no prizes for guessing who against.

    i can understand why people want to vent their anger

    I also went down to the Forest match with my young lad. Unfortunately we were sat behind one of these 'been to 2 matches this season' fans.

    Had to endure 90 mins of this guy venting his 'SCAB' anger at the Forest fans above and behind us. 'fkin SCAB' this, 'fkin SCAB' that. 'SCAB, SCAB, SCAB' non stop.

    We'd gone down to watch a football match, not listen to this guy exorcise his demons.

    Windy in "don't discuss things you weren't involved in"

    There's irony for you!

    Dont quite agree. You dont have to be directly involved in something to have very strong opinions and to understand what happened. My Dad wasn't a miner but one of his brothers was; I was only a teenager during the strike but i formed my opinions from both the news and from my Dad.
