“…I also suggest that the authors' distinction between spontaneous and organized violence suffers two major flaws. First, I prefer to speak of social organization because most hooligan formations seem to be neither formally organized nor to generally exceed basic forms of synchronization and co-ordination (Van der Torre and Spaaij, 2003;Giulianotti and Armstrong, 2002;Adang, 2002). Second, the distinction is too dichotomous and requires an intermediate category that bridges the two extremes, since hooligan violence regularly erupts as a result of more spontaneous triggers, such as aggressive policing or on-field events.…”

“…Thus, whereas English and Scottish hooligan groups tend to view the public spectacle of having to stroll through a host city with police escort as a pointless exercise (Giulianotti and Armstrong, 2002: 225), some Spanish hooligan groups see this as a relatively safe and successful type of public 'protest'. However, when hooligan confrontations do occur, they tend to take place outside the ground, in the streets or in pubs.…”

“…Although some of these aspects have been identified individually or in combination in previous studies of football hooliganism Marsh, 1978;Armstrong, 1998;Giulianotti, 1999;Giulianotti and Armstrong, 2002;Kerr, 1994), only in conjunction do they enable a profound understanding of football hooliganism as a transnational phenomenon. It is important to note that although the general features and social mechanisms involved have a lot in common, their specific contents and intensity vary across localities depending on local and national circumstances.…”

“…Deze vorm van organisatie is zeer schaars en misschien alleen van toepassing op bepaalde Ar-gentijnse barras bravas, al moet ook hier de organisatie van collectief geweld niet worden overdreven. Hooliganisme omvat doorgaans niet meer dan relatief basale vormen van synchronisatie en onderlinge afstemming (Van der Torre & Spaaij, 2003;Giulianotti & Armstrong, 2002). Wel kunnen hooligans de organisatiegraad tijdelijk opvoeren wanneer een confrontatie op stapel staat.…”

Hooligans, fans en fanatisme Hooligans, fans en fanatisme Een internationale vergelijking van cluben supportersculturen Ramón SpaaijOmslagafbeelding: Ramón Spaaij VoorwoordHet onderzoek waarop dit boek is gebaseerd heeft me op plaatsen gebracht die de (neutrale) voetballiefhebber als muziek in de oren zullen klinken: Wembley, Maracanã, Camp Nou, Upton Park, Santiago Bernabéu, enzovoort. Daarnaast heeft het me geleid naar de obscuurdere regionen van het voetbal, waarvan mijn bezoek aan de heetgebakerde derby tussen Union Berlin en BFC Dynamo Berlin me in ieder geval zal bijblijven. Op al deze plaatsen, en zeker ook bij de Amsterdamse School voor Sociaal-wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (ASSR), heb ik boeiende mensen ontmoet. Zij hebben, ieder op een geheel eigen wijze, een belangrijke bijdrage geleverd. Ik kan alleen maar hopen dat zij hun inspanningen beloond zien in het resultaat.Een speciaal woord van dank gaat uit naar de volgende personen: Kees

“Football hooliganism” is a slippery term which covers many types of deviant fan behavior, from individual frustration‐based forms of mild aggression to planned collective violence. It is generally accepted that the collective activity of organized male football hooligan groups is primarily targeted at identifiable rival peers, though the police can also be targets and other fans might get caught up in its wake. Theories divide on the likely causes of hooliganism, from sociopsychological explanations around crowd contagion, team overidentification, or frustration, to sociological and socioanthropological approaches, which focus more on the deeper sociocultural roots of collective fan behavior, and on the complex motivations of those younger men who are routinely involved in violent and aggressive honor contests around football. Using his “socio‐ecological model,” the Dutch sociologist Ramon Spaaij has recently tried to resolve some disciplinary differences and key debates around the binaries of aggression and violence, order and disorder, structure and action, and spontaneity and planned attacks in football fan conflict. As a response to hooliganism, elite European football stadia today are increasingly becoming rational, safe, and rather tame sporting landscapes, the antitheses of democratic spaces of open access, excitement, and freedom.
