For the 1st time in years I can say quite honestly say that I am enjoying watching an England football team.

I've been doing that for years, there's nothing better than sitting next to an aussie and asking him " what's it like to have a Barby with no ashes"

Football, what's football..................

Rugby beating the Aussies 39-28 in Aus
Cricket destroying the visiting test team at home

Football letting the Russians score in extra time. Yeap....and England Footie supporters being tear-gassed for being stupid and drunk...

Jeff how could you! Surely you mean stupid and/or drunk ????

jeffw - 11/6/16 at 09:52 PM

I think it likely that those involved are stupid and where also drunk, I doubt you would classify any of them as bright and sober.

There were also women and kids in that stadium being charged by the russian fans. Funny no mention of that? No mention of the Russians causing a lot of trouble in the build up to the game. It was all the English. Granted no doubt a small minority will always be dickheads but don't tar all with the same brush.

Odd that it's ALWAYS football that attracts these knuckle dragging knob jockeys. When was the last time there was a full blown international riot over a rugby game, or cricket, or MotoGP, or F1, or any other sport in fact?

Here is a link to the Russian Ultras website boasting of their efforts over the last 3 days.

Granted football does attract these imbeciles but you can't tar everyone with the drunk and stupid labels. I have friends out in marseille for the game who are neither. They have said the French police are on a hair trigger, using tear gas for fun and are treating everyone like poo ( I can partly understand why due to the terrorism threat). There have also been gangs of Russians and French 'fans' clashing and attacking the british yet all the news focuses on is the England fans.

Sadly these minority of morons will probably prevent the UK ever being able to host another major football tournament.

Unfortunately, it is pretty obvious that a big portion of "fans", have no interest in the football, just in the cowardeness of fighting in groups, and bring misery to everyone else around

For everyone who was taking part in the fighting, I am sure there were considerably more trying to get away, as they were innocent bystanders, and there for the football

I do not get why so many people go out to these tournaments without tickets to the matches ?
oh, yes I do, to cause havoc

But yet again, its the English seem to be, if we are led to believe from the TV footage, to blame

arseholes, thanks for ruining my favourite sport
