Merzbow Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 The connector is likely bent inside and not making contact with the charger, I'd imagine that could be fixed easily enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallicks Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Could be fluff/tissue inside the charging socket on the phone. Careful if you go scraping around in that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I finally got round to playing the piano I got yesterday. YouTube channels have been excellent. Picked this up already. It's not perfect but I've really enjoyed playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most positive thing about it is your timing and the transition between chords and notes. Well done. Frankie that’s mint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Yeah, I've always had a good ear for music. Wish I never gave it up. Cheers for the props though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Do any US sports like baseball or football have an equivalent to soccers ultras, especially those with hard political stances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grecian Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I'm not sure about the political side of things, but there have been riots after teams have lost - the then-Oakland Raiders rioted after they lost the SuperBowl a few years back (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1420338/Oakland-in-flames-as-Raiders-fans-run-riot.html) I don't think they arrange meetings like the hooligans in Europe do, but there are instances of one teams fans attacking another. They tend to be much smaller scale than in Europe, or groups attacking one or two people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 21, 2018 Only other thing I ever heard of in North America about sport-related riots was a couple of years ago, when Vancouver Canucks fans rioted. I think they'd just lost the Stanley Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're really into their hockey there. (They're, Their and There in a 6 word sentence) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 22, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 Used to be loads of pics on the internet of Hockey fights in the crowd years ago. It kicked off in Pittsburgh last night before they played the Vikings but I think that was a one off. Often talk of fights in the crowd during WWF events in the late 90s. I think hooliganism is a social thing not a sports thing. Not sure the Yanks need the outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted January 22, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 Could it also be that it's often much further to travel between cities, so you don't get as much of people going to away games? And it's also rarer to have multiple teams in the same city, so following a team is as much an allegiance to your city rather than having your identity be tied up with the club itself.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 22, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 With the exceptions of the top three most populous cities (NY, LA and Chicago), I'd say that sounds about right. And even with those three cities, which tend to usually have two teams for each of the Big Four sports, they play in different conferences, so local rivalries will only be more likely to occur in the event of their respective sport's big final (if I've got the structure of US sports seasons right).

Keith Houchen Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Boston and New York often have rucks, regardless of the sport. New Yoikers say it's because Boston hate not being as important, it's kind of the England Scotland thing. Regarding the two teams per city, they tend to not have the hatred. Take Chicago. The White Sox and the Cubs have a rivalry but both sets of fans are Bears fans and Chicago is an NFL city more than anything else despite them having champions in all the other big four sports. Over here, football fans tend to be football fans and football fans only. Although it shouldn't need pointing out, it's not football that makes them violent.
