Russian cowards

Picking on easy targets scum

 

[Big G]

Utter scumbags!

 

[sydney]

hardcore russian thugs ( as in proper thugs , not the string-bean pasty ones that we produce) picking on pissed up english fans .....with the help of the french local fans who have led the russians through back streets and alley ways to evade the police and get at the england fans , when the ensuing panic cased a mini stampede the local old bill respond with a barrage of tear gas and rather tasty looking attack dogs....welcome to europe lads......if i was them i would put my wallet away and spend the rest of my money watching the tournament at home, our fans have a pretty bad rap but are puppies compared to the russians ......pretty sickening scenes and a twatty result from the team ffs...!!

 

[Captain Haddock]

Yup. Reportedly a man on crutches and someone in a wheelchair unbelievably amongst the victims of these scumbags.

 

[Robot Chicken]

Let's give the next World Cup to Russia and we can be assured of a warm welcome in Moscow...

Security was pi$$ poor in the stadium. Why was there no police presence? A few volunteer stewards were never going to be enough. It's basic stuff that the French authorities have failed on.

They have a history of it, Ukraine etc.

Totally unbelievable, you would assume that at a tournament of this size that there would be security everywhere, in case of acts of terrorism and not just Russian inbreds.

You have to ask yourself, why the hell did they stick England fans here for their games in the first place and is anyone really surprised at the lack of support from French authorities.

Local gangs rather than Russians in this one but this periscope from Stan Collymore is frightening

https://twitter.com/StanCollymore/status/741767706794418176?lang=en-gb

He posted one just before saying how quiet it was then heard 5 whistles and 300 locals on command charged down alleyways looking for England fans

He ended up getting tear gassed in the process

Was a good summary from the bloke from Channel 4 that you have organised gangs from Russia who flew to Switzerland and drove to avoid detection, local organised gangs and a lot of pissed and very naive England fans

 

[TomandJerry]

Scum? Yes...

Cowards? Not really

I say put them in the same stadium with Millwall

 

[Guinness Boy]

Not been the greatest start to the tournament. Sticking England and Russia in Marseille was just asking for trouble and having almost zero security in the ground after the earlier clashes and with the terror threat on high is nuts. Can only hope it gets better from now on. As usual everyone else seems to be having a good time except the English. Hopefully the last time we play Rooney and Sterling too.

Bit worried for England fans if we get to the Russia World Cup in 2018...

Rooney? Seriously? Did you watch the match?

 

[Mr Smggles]

Some people just cannot see anything good he does. Rooney ran the show FFS! Sterling was shite in fairness.

The Russians are a throw back to the English in 70/80's and have taken over our lead. They now see the English as a badge of honour if they can take them down. We have managed to clean up our act, however, will always be targets for local gangs and opposing fans who see fighting the English as a statement of their own 'stupidity'.

 

[Simster]

It's almost like there were no English morons at all, chucking bottles and acting like tossers themselves. I'm quite prepared to believe the Russians are causing more trouble than English hoolies, but why are we having to discuss English hoolies at all yet again. The whole thing is pathetic from supposed grown ups and judging from sone if the footage, there are people who are lucky not to have been killed.

The sad thing is, it only seems to take a few hundred people from either side to ruin everything for everyone else. There are thousands of English out there, and most are there for the football and beer.

Even with all the reports of being attacked by locals and Russians you still manage to pin some of the blame on the English. Respected bbc reporters have said bottles were needed for defence and the French police allowed the attacks to happen for a good five minutes. For once I actually thnk we're not to blame

Rooney put in an excellent stint. Sterling was mobile but very poor decision making and no end product.
