That was quite strange !

Watched the Euro soccer , Wales were great , England good but lacking firepower , lost concentration in injury time .

While making tea I flicked on R5  to hear of crowd trouble in the ground  & outside as the match was ending ...on TV  all is well ..back to radio ...crowd trouble ..TV all is well. :C

Works for me!

 

[steptoe]

I assume the crowd trouble was the england game,? 

 

[binky]

started by the Russians. French thugs have been having a go at the Irish as well apparently.

Has to be said the English fans are probably some of the best behaved football fans these days. The press still likes to make out they aren't.

 

[steptoe]

ye, I wasnt getting at it being the english,

yes, a lot of the 'eastern bloc' nations seem to have an almost trained army of thugs that purport to be football fans

 

[Evans Electric]

The Russians apparently , are where we were 30 yrs ago with football hooliganism.  

 

[binky]

including making monkey noises at black players - firkin backward bunch

But the French punished the English. Not one Russian in court.

A sign of things to come me thinks. 

 

[binky]

no a sign of old stereotypes

I heard the Russians were well organised with uniforms, concealed weapons & balaclavas, it was also well planned.

The French security at the stadium was lacking, there was little police presence inside the stadium.

The English....

Drunk, very very drunk!

Where's our national pride?

At home as they've had their passports seized...

<_<

 

[binky]

the Russians were cruising around looking for trouble. Oddly enough, given the circumstances and the deliberate targeting of English fans, I would be quietly pleased if some of the English retaliated and thumped the Russians good and hard. The French police could certainly do more to stop this.

Well the footage I was watching clearly shows England fans throwing chairs and fighting before the match. Except for the trouble within the ground the English were giving as good as they were getting.

The Russians roaming the streets looking for trouble came prepared , even down to gumshields .  Apparentley they are allied to a Russian football club .

Twonks!!

The threat of a terrorist attack must be high with all those high profile matches going on with these idiots kicking off.

England play Wales shortly ..    I sincerely hope there is no trouble   .If we can't play our neighbours without trouble breaking out ....I despair.

I support both sides but not Scotland , only because I find it offensive that they use every occasion to voice their dislike of the English ..sorry but it has to be said.

Deke,

Sorry to state the obvious, but, you'll probably find the only people that actually sincerely like the English, are the English,
