[Albion] Palace / Brighton trouble

[Weststander]

Don’t morons normally bury the club hatred thing for England internationals when travelling overseas? Instead wrecking things belonging to the hosts.

You’re making it sound like mass disorder. It isn’t, a few smal isolated incidents that aren’t in the press or on social media.

Go to youtube and type in england disorder amsterdam or portugal.

Quite a lot of underplaying the problem on this thread

Utterly pathetic. I really do not get this violent tendancy the knuckledaggers of both clubs have. Their lives must be very sad and unfulfilled to get a jolly out of this behaviour. They really need to grow up

I've been to the world cup in Brazil and to the euros in France. I didn't see any trouble, so totally agree that most are legitimate fans. Though the reports are so regular now, we need to do more than we are currently doing. A new generation of anti foreign (especially European) coked to the eyeballs hoolies are coming through and we need to react to the things which are actually happening

Nothing wrong with going abroad and having a punch up

You never hear of Celtic and Rangers fans brawling at Scotland matches and their rivalry is immeasurably deeper than ours with Palace.

You never hear of Celtic and Rangers fans brawling at Scotland matches and their rivalry is FAR deeper than us and Palace.

I thought Rangers fans didn't attend Scotland games.

Bet that Bulgarian firm who just got kicked out will be up for it outside

I was in Edinburgh a few years ago on a stag do and a load of Rangers fans were in the pub and they laughed at the idea of attending a Scotland game. A couple of them regularly travelled South for England games.

They only left early as they have college in the morning.

Sounds like naff all really .

Generally well behaved away . Few mobs but get that anywhere . Foreign police don’t help and then the media over blow it all .

Anyone gobbing off about it . Get out there . It’s a great piss up and good fun .

The problem is the media . Not the fans

I’d give this a thousand thumbs ups if I could. Unfortunately most commenting negatively on this haven’t done England away and don’t have a clue - just read the stupid press who over react to everything.

Pathetic comment.

I was in Amsterdam - I saw a lot first hand. 10k over there - a few hundred or so being knobs. Burnley and Blackburn kicked off - about 2 or 3 on each side. Everyone shouted at them to stop it. Loads followed it down an alley. Rumours of Ajax being involved but not sure on that. Next the riot police cause absolute havoc. Difficult to know where the answer is but definitely a well OTTpolice reaction which aggregated people and caused trouble.

Seems a pretty minor inconvenience compared to having the right to live and work taken away from you

(sorry!)

I missed out the vital "in 27 countries" there.

This would explain why I've never seen a Union Flag with SCOTLAND emblazoned across it!

That's because one thinks they're Irish and the other goes to England games.

Celtic fans support Ireland

Whilst watching the last Northern Ireland match I was pondering if there was ever trouble among Loyalist/Republican fans at their matches but realised most Republicans would probably support RoI rather than NI.

Euro 2016, In Saint-Étienne, Lyon and Nice were perfect examples of low profile policing working. Instead of standing in the faces of fans in full riot gear they kept back and out of site, no surprise there no trouble caused by England fans.
