duffman   10 #1 Posted June 13, 2004 Just a bit of a rant but whilst watching England v France I noticed as soon as the English national anthem had finished the boos and jeers started for the French anthem, Why? I have watched the other games and didn't hear anything during the anthems, is it just a small number of idiots or to be a true England supporter do you have to....  1) Read the Sun like it's the Bible  2) Wear Burberry and Ben Sherman constantly  3) Disrespect other nations when they keep quiet for us  Rant over:rant: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rich   12 #2 Posted June 13, 2004 Meh, there's always some bunch of chavs who try and ruin it for others....  At least apart from that there's been no trouble reported.... Then again they banned all the known chavs from going to the game in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Classic Rock   10 #5 Posted June 14, 2004 What was the point of the fighting and rioting after the match IN our country. I can understand fighting the French as it's a historical battle of nations, but why fight in the streets in Lincoln, etc? We're all on the same side, so what's the point?

What makes it worse is that some so called parents take their kids to the pub or match then act in this stupid way so the kids grow up and think that it's acceptable to do such things!  Bookie, if we meet again in the tournament lets meet up for a friendly drink and watch the game:thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

saxon51 Â Â 10 #11 Posted June 14, 2004 Par for the course bookie, I'm ashamed to say. Â It's because of these lowlife scum that I hope England get trashed. Sorry you real supporters, but how I'd like to see the smug smiles wiped of these fat yobs' podgy faces. Â What is it about football and yobs? (some of which actually play professionally) Â Compare them with cricket and rugby supporters!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
t020 Â Â 11 #12 Posted June 14, 2004 Football has a much larger and wider fanbase than any other sport, so the "minority that ruins it for the majority" is going to be proportionately larger hence more noticeable. Don't make the mistake in thinking it is just our country that has football yobs either - Spanish fans caused problems in Portugal on Saturday night.
