Guest   #97 Posted June 15, 2016 Who's up for going over to France to reinforce the English contingent? I personally would just be there for encouragement though rather than doing any actual fighting you understand! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

stpetre   12 #101 Posted June 15, 2016 Yeah a couple of hundred hard core Russian hooligans maraud around knocking seven bells out of any England fan who stands before them and none get arrested, is that lazy policing or just bad policing ? It's a good job it was not a terrorist attack ..... the cynic in me say's the French police probably allowed some of this to happen right under their noses ..... it was only the rowdy, disrespectful English after all  Some Russian 'fans' were arrested and as for the header' 'Brit' don't tell me that the Northern Irish, the Scots and the Welsh were 'at it' too !

melthebell   863 #102 Posted June 18, 2016 looks like the whole tournements a disaster tbh cos of the hooliganism. Croatia have had trouble, during both matches so far, flares threw on the pitch yesterday and fighting among themselves. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36564163  also Turkish and spanish fans are in trouble because of flares, and 3 spanish ultras were arressted with neo nazi flags.  thats on top of the English / Russian fan trouble and the minor N Ireland trouble earlier last week.  seems to me the whole touraments going to be remembered for violence and stupidity, thing is you dont get the trouble like this during world cups, seems to just be the euros mostly.

The pathetic thing is that the same people who cause trouble, would be the same people running scared if Daesh turned up with guns shooting people. Pathetic indeed... and spineless.

buck   11 #107 Posted June 28, 2016 Brit? Brit? Surely English!!  The Welsh and the Irish behaved perfectly well - looks like the English want to play their football outside Europe as well! Both Irish teams and Wales fans were ambassadors of good behavior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
