They said that the mob had English and Scottish accents and could've been Combat 18 or some Neo Nazi group.If that is correct,this sort of thing would make me want to resurrect that old saying 'Brits Out!' In the 80's I worked upstairs in John Frazer's store overlooking North Street in Belfast.Nearly every Saturday afternoon we were entertained by both Cliftonville and Linfield supporters fighting each other. I use the word fighting, it was more like chasing each other around the town. Both groups were easily recognisable wearing their respective football shirts/colours. From what I heard on the radio the 'morons' referred to earlier wore black, which included black baseball caps and goggles. I hope that Belfast isn't the new weekend retreat for Combat 18 or similar groups.
