[Football] England and German fans kicking off at the Euros

[dazzer6666]

Well nasty

Reminded me of this one (needs sound)

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

T&J doesn't process external noise so the threads will keep on coming. It's like battling Arnie in the first Terminator film or the cop in Terminator 2, i.e. futile.

@TomandJerry is alright. I put him on ignore years ago then relented; he's a harmless enthusiast like many of us.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Blimey, for a moment I thought they might get naked and mud wrestle. All a bit too homo erotic for me i'm afraid

What is your acceptable level of homo-eroticism? I'm fine with a cheeky wink from David Beckham

 

[Gazwag]

It's not exactly a war, but the English fans there are wankers. No need to be dickheads when guests in another country.

Football does attract a special kind of English dickhead, especially those who think it's acceptable in the ground to throw a full cup of beer when celebrating a goal, and people wonder why beer isn't allowed in the stands in the UK.

Back in your box, H and stick to snurging at our new blonde female director.

Agreed

and people wonder why beer isn't allowed in the stands in the UK.

Yeah, but that ain't the reason

 

[WATFORD zero]

Allow me to fix the headline:

Dickheads throw limp punches at one another for vague reasons.

The teenage sex syndrome, all talk absolutely no real action

Exactly the same for the last 50 years, but don't let on

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Yeah, but that ain't the reason

No it’s not, however if the rules were to be relaxed it would only be a matter of minutes before a u turn would be taken

 

[chimneys]

Did you watch the video ?

I suggest you have to in order to comment. It’s 45 seconds of my life I won’t get back!

 

[chimneys]

This is what the Daily Mail does, they can spin anything. I remember a Glastonbury headline along the lines of “4 million applied for tickets but only 100k got tickets to this elite festival”. That’s quite a creative and negative take on a festival which is egalitarian but super successful.

Guardian ran the Mail story yesterday too!

Thanks for the heads up, I’d missed this.


Disgraceful behavior by England fans, why can’t they just enjoy a drink like everyone else without resorting to fighting? Let the country down and brought shame and embarrassment upon us.

 

[heathgate]

Ah, okay then.

Jesus. Disgraceful behavior by England fans, why can’t they just enjoy a drink like everyone else without resorting to fighting? Let the country down.

Playing devil's here,... the foolish English fans were singing a relatively harmless bit of ironic banter... it was the locals who got a little confrontational... the locals should have sung something back, or simply carried on walking....

BBC game footage yesterday showed a 60-something England fan wearing a WW2 RAF peaked cap. Grow up FFS.

The drink throwing seems to have been exported to these Euros, unfortunately. The Swiss seemed to celebrate their goal by throwing their full cups at their own plates, and there’s been luzzing at most games, it seems. Can’t remember the game but I remember a commentator mentioning about all their equipment and notes getting soaked in one of the group games and saying they needed umbrellas (and it wasn’t rain).

The scenes shown in “fan zone” type venues in the UK means that I’m far more likely to watch in the safety of my own home, though. What is wrong with people that they think this is ok?

It’s a shame because I’ve loved being part of big celebrations for over 50 years and this is spoiling it.

 

[Springal]

Worse thing is in the ground those cups have a €3 deposit on them

I was thinking of counting the whooshes but you’ve got one literally next post.

Well played

Should make it at least ten, maybe they wouldn't get thrown as much, my daughter was nearly knocked out when a full one hit her on the head when Saka scored

I have seen some footage from, I guess, one of those Box Park things and what stuck me was how contrived some of the beer chucking is. It’s not a spontaneous reaction to the goal especially when lads start filming themselves some time after the goal has gone in. Very weird.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

That's some of the worst violence I have EVER seen. Both countries should be immediately chucked out of the tournament.

What's that? The Germans have already chucked themselves out? Very decent of them. If the English have any moral fibre they should do the same sometime in the next seven days or so.
