I simply don't know hedda - I am no psychologist. But the fanaticism is absolutely mind-boggling, and the team becomes the most important thing in people's lives. Particularly in Glasgow and the North East/West, where entire families/groups will rarely talk about anything else - even over meals and socially. My late brother was football mad and I attended a few matches with him when he was visiting. There's not a hint of violence at matches in Oz where the populace is also sports crazy (me not so much). Perhaps it's down to the sunshine.
