足球比赛观众看的是热闹,队员比的是技术。足球比赛也是一种竞争....

Alice: Hello, I'm Alice.

Stephen: And I'm Stephen.

Alice: And this is 6 Minute English! This week, we’re talking about rivalries1

between football teams.

Stephen: Football rivalries - supporters of one football team often have one or two other

teams that they really dislike.

Alice: A bit of friendly rivalry2 probably doesn’t hurt anybody, but sometimes football

rivalries spill over into violence.

Stephen: Spill over into violence - when rivalry between fans leads to fighting.

Alice: First, a question for you Stephen: can you tell me which city these two football

teams come from? Al Ahly and Zamalek. Is it:

a) Cairo

b) Beirut, or

c) Damascus

Stephen: Well, my youngest brother would probably know the answer. I'm going to

guess Cairo.

Alice: Well, I won’t tell you the answer just yet. We'll find out at the end of the

programme. Now, let’s talk a bit more about football rivalries. Here’s a word

that gets used in British English: can you explain what a derby is?

Stephen: Sure. A derby, in the context of football, is a match played between two

football teams from the same city, or near each other. It’s thought the word

comes from a rugby-like game played by two teams in a town in Derbyshire, in

central England.

Alice: In Britain, famous derbies are games played between Arsenal3 and Tottenham

Hotspur, which are both in north London, Liverpool and Everton, or Celtic and

Rangers4 - two football teams in Glasgow in Scotland. They have a bitter rivalry

- and matches between the two often involve heated exchanges.

Stephen: Heated exchanges – lots of passion and anger.

 

Alice: Here’s BBC sports reporter Alex Capstick, reporting on a recent match

between Celtic and Rangers, which turned into mayhem - chaos5:

Insert 1: Alex Capstick, BBC sports reporter

Matches between the Glasgow neighbours Rangers and Celtic usually involve heated

exchanges, but the mayhem during the latest clash has been described as an

embarrassment6 to Scottish football. Rangers had three players sent off. Celtic's manager,

Neil Lennon, and Rangers' assistant coach, Ally McCoist, had to be dragged apart

following an ugly confrontation7 after the final whistle.

Alice: BBC sports reporter Alex Capstick, who says that players were sent off and

that managers and coaches got involved in an ugly confrontation after the

final whistle.

 

Stephen: An ugly confrontation after the final whistle – angry fighting after the match

had ended.

Alice: The First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond, is setting up a summit to deal

with the violence. He says the players are role models for society.

Stephen: Supporters will follow their example.

Insert 2: Alex Salmond, First Minister, Scotland

The fans at football matches are representatives of their clubs, the players at football

matches are role models for society, and the management of football clubs have a

particular responsibility and they must, absolutely must, behave responsibly.

Alice: The First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond, says the football clubs have a

particular responsibility, and they absolutely must behave responsibly.

Stephen: They must set a good example to fans watching the matches.

Alice: Policemen in Scotland say that even cases of domestic violence increase when

the two Glaswegian clubs play each other.

Stephen: People watching the match at home are more likely to become violent towards

their families during or after the matches.

Alice: Les Grey from the Scottish Police Federation8 says attention needs to be given

to future fixtures9 – the times when games are played. For example, there's less

violence if games are played midweek, in the evening, rather than at the

weekend. He says changing licensing10 laws - the sale of alcohol - might help

prevent people becoming violent.

Insert 3: Les Grey, Scottish Police Federation

If that game hadn’t been on a Wednesday night, we’d have seen a lot more trouble had

that been a Sunday lunchtime game or even a Saturday afternoon game. So we’ll be

looking at when to play these games. We need to look at the licensing laws. We need to

look at the coverage11 of the games, and by that I’m going to upset a lot people and say

perhaps we need to stop televising one or two of them. There’s a direct correlation12

between what happens during the game and what happens after the game. If I tell you

the latest figures just in - I was informed last night that domestic violence incidents

jumped 70% on Wednesday evening after the game. That’s a huge jump.

Alice: Les Grey from the Scottish Police Federation, who says that incidents of

domestic violence jumped by 70% after the last Celtic versus13 Rangers match.

He said there’s a direct correlation between what happens during the game and

what happens afterwards.

Stephen: A direct correlation – a clear link or relationship

 

Alice: And he even proposes a very unpopular idea: to stop televising some of the

games. Well, before we go, Stephen, any ideas about the city the two teams Al

Ahly and Zamalek come from?

Stephen: Well, I guessed Cairo, and…
