The fun thing with hooligans is that you don't actually need to have a clue - just yell loud enough and lash out at the other side. I assure you, most hooligans out there couldn't play their respective games either. They'd just get pissed at the ref for calling their foul play.

What the fuck, why can he do that? Oh so that's a thing now, great, whatever. What do you mean, illegal? I just did the exact same thing, why can he do it and I can't? This is bullshit, the game is rigged. Yeah, sure go ahead, fucking disqualify me for being "combative", I'm just telling you your own fucking rules don't make sense!

There, all you need to be a chess hooligan.
