I'd agree with DoubleAone to a point as well though, in that the article appears to be suggesting Queens are responsible for virtually all violence etc in the amateur game, when despite Queens being an infamous example, the problem is much more widespread and embedded in the amateur game, certainly in the north anyway.

and you will largely find the moaners and groaners are from clubs outside the Yorkshire League.

Well it seems like they came across a much bigger group of thugs the afternoon they played your lot then
