This happened 2002, I used to hang at an expats bar in Atlanta. It was wild APD split the bar in half. If you were English/Scot/Irish/etc an officer would escort them to the bathrooms on the other side of the establishment and walk them back. 90% of the expats served in the Falklands and were begging for a fight.

The Argentinians were younger/mostly kids. Never probably served so it was so insane how angry the expats were.

The chant most sung was "Go home you dirty Argey bastards go home go home" over and over again. There were others but thats the one I remember.

Match ended the police escorted the Argentinians out as this was an expats bar. Expats went full retard as they won, hammed drunk in the AM, needless to say none of them were going to work lol

I'm gonna say that fighting a war does things to a person's brain. And maybe there's some personality patterns that predispose people to enlist. Then there's the conditioning that allows someone to kill another human with no remorse...

Most of which doesn't apply to your regular hooligans, so I have no idea...

There was a lot of PTSD in this group, I've know them since so 20+ years. Lots of self medication, a few self deletes, they open up every so often but it rare. The Scot guard and the Royal Marines seem have the worst of it. I don't think there was any Royal Navy in this group, or if they were they didn't talk about it.

Which makes sense considering the Exocet's and the A-4's really made a mess of their ships.

Good thing it was APD and not GSP

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Oh no doubt, first things I learn once you get out side the loop is stay the hell away from GSP.

I grew up in the area and the general rule is APD generally has other shit the city needs them to do so they, by comparison won’t fuck with you. Georgia State Patrol has literally nothing better to do than fuck up everyone’s chill

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

This exactly! Every APD interaction has been great, don't act a fool and they leave you be. Even drunk walking around E ATL/L5P/Highlands/Midtown. You could talk to them and as long as you were cool and they werent busy.

IDK if thats changed, I hope not.

In fairness, the amount they have to spend inside Atlanta, which as we all know is not a real place, would probably make anyone just be like “move along sir” as long as they weren’t actively causing a problem

The dirty Argey bastards chant probably has more to do with Simeone’s dark arts four years before. The English really got whipped into a frenzy when Beckham got himself sent off. I was in a small ~~Welsh~~ Argentinian pub at the time. Hilarious.

[–] naticus@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Argentina and England are countries. Am I doing this right?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Aaah, now I get it. Thanks. 🙏🙇‍♂️

I have a couple friends of ours… he is English, she is Argentinian

I already offered him my couch if such match were to happen, regardless of outcome

[–] klu9@piefed.social 16 points 23 hours ago

In Argentina, they're called the Semalvinas

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 11 points 23 hours ago

I bet the chants are going to be ruthless.

Someone warn Jeremy Clarkson to make himself scarce for the duration.
