Chapter 3 examines the subject of violence in relation to spectators at GAA matches.

The nature of violent encounters shifted from a collective form based on local solidarity and a reciprocal code of honour, through a transitional collective form based on deferred emotional satisfaction and group pride, towards a more individualised form of spectator violence.
