The trouble last night seemed to be in the second cordon.
What sparked it off was somebody was trying to get through that cordon with no tickets and get nabbed by the police, which is fair enough by the police. The problem was the police then proceeded to give him a kicking in view of those trying to get into the ground. People reacted and this caused a running battle with the police and then some of the idiots already in the ground tried to get back out to that cordon to have a go at the police.

It it because
a.we export it
b. its historical
c we have a huge proportion of chavs who cant hold their drink.
You just have to see the bahaviour of our people in holiday resorts in the summer to see why we are regarded as a babarian nation.
It is a lot less than it was admittedly, probably because the hoolies have got a lot older.
We will see if it has gone away when we play Holland later on this year.

There was no serious trouble in Holland 4 years ago and I doubt there will be next month. Too many other services for people to utilise in the few days there and weed tends to cut out the violence.

In the case of Italy that might be your perception. However I would well recommend a read of Tim Parks' excellent 'A Season in Verona' where he does every single Hellas game home and away in the season. For his first away trip he accidentally gets on the Ultras bus who then to proceed to spend all night abusing the driver, drinking heavily and taking gear. He notes (with some accuracy) that just about the only thing that is different is that his bottle of water is acceptable to them.

There was a lot of trouble in the qualifier that England played in Rotterdam in 1993, but the game in Eindhoven in 2000 and Amsterdam in 2002 passed off peacefully. The Dutch were not overly interested in the English and the English were too busy getting stonned or getting the most out of their 50 euros and 15 minute time slot....
