Portsmouth/Southampton rivalry.

Although I fail to see how it compares to Hillsborough...

[thenry]

Portsmouth supporters, and occasionally those of other clubs, refer to Southampton supporters as "****" or "scummers". According to some Portsmouth fans, the term "****" developed out of an acronym standing for Southampton City (or Corporation) Union Men, with the term allegedly originating from when Southampton dockyard workers supposedly crossed the picket lines in the 1930s when Portsmouth dockyard workers were on strike. However this story is unlikely, as the two cities rely on entirely different types of ports — Southampton being a merchant port and Portsmouth, a naval one. There is also no known record of any strike occurring during the mentioned time period. Rather, this seems to be a modern attempt to incorrectly describe the origins of the rivalry.[5]

Southampton supporters have taken to referring to their local rivals as "Skates". This is a derisive alternative to "matelot" to describe naval sailors, Portsmouth being the home of the Royal Navy. This term is in fact originally a dismissive one for sailors, possibly originating in Portsmouth, which most Southampton fans have adopted. It was made popular as an abusive term towards Portsmouth fans after a Southampton fanzine asked readers to help search for the term most likely to cause offence to them.[

People from Southampton, who are also known as "****" due to the high dependency on inbreeding to keep the Southampton gene going, who mainly conceive with close relatives. They famously stole all of the UK's hot dog's which left Liverpudlians very angry.

Nothing happened in 1930 though. Looks more a rumour started by Portsmouth fans.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has backed calls to stop managers making decisions on players with concussion. "If there is a strong view from the medical side that a concussed player should come off we should look into it and make a rule," said Martinez. "I don't think it should be a manager's decision whether you take a player off or not. It should be part of the game and a law. It would be very unfair to be a manager in a position where you have to take a player off just to avoid any sort of risk without having that medical knowledge."

"If anyone suffers severe trauma to the head and loses consciousness, they should be required to leave the field," said the PFA's John Bramall.
