Russia's Hooligan Army.

[Ernest]

That organised FIGHT at the end reminded me of when I was RECRUITING for my ARS and I only wanted the HARDEST for it

Have to agree with ppf for once. The scary thing isn't necessarily the nutters, it's that the state at best turn a blind eye and at worst actively encourage and support them. I'd give this tournament a swerve.

It certainly won't be a trip for the happy, clappy scarfers and the families and I doubt the band will turn up unless they want their drum inserted somewhere that would make their eyes water

found the link to the broader move to re-define, or rediscover the link to what being a Russian man is all about fascinating. A move led and modelled by Putin.. I am just hoping that the need for Russia to shine as a venue for global sporting tournaments, is big enough to drive the apparently recent, increased efforts to clamp down on hooliganism even further.

I kind of agree that it's quite an admirable thing they're doing in terms of rejecting alcohol / drugs etc, getting fit and all that. Representing what they feel a man should be. I can get on board with that. I can't get on board with the need for violence being intrinsically linked with masculinity.

Don't get me wrong.. I am not supporting that as an admirable thing.. just interesting to see how literally the idea of depicting the leader as a "masculine" role-model has filtered down and appears to have influenced this generation of hooligans..

Oh totally, I think I phrased my response badly

There's videos of those fights in the forests of women only, what chance you got when the effing women are at it too?!

The official Russian response to last nights documentary - https://www.rt.com/sport/377667-russia-football-fans-embassy/

One thing I do recall reading in the paper at the time of Marseille, which wasn't mentioned last night, was that the British Embassy in Moscow had apparently informed the Foreign Office here that a lot of the Russian hooligans were actually uniformed servicemen in the Russian forces.

People need to know that Russian thugs will not be getting arrested by their colleagues in police uniforms, but will instead be getting cash bonuses from above.

Pure madness to go.

I've said for years , f*** ISIS it's the Russians we need to worry about

So not all bad news then.

 

[Jack Straw]

Made me laugh that they looked up to the English and wanted to emulate them.

Pre ruck routine:

English = 10 pints and a Henry in the boozer.

Russians = crayfish and fruit tea in a sauna.

...and locally caught crayfish at that.

To be fair, the majority of the so-called "Pukka-pies Barmy Army" (as far as I know) are Sheffield Wednesday fans, and thus, as quite a few Massive supporters tend to have their heads stuck up their arses, there shouldn't be any room to stick the drum

 

[Megazone]

Give it another 5 years and all those Russian hooligans will be supporting kids with double-barrel first names.

Karma works in mysterious ways.

just as an aside, if you've never seen this it's called Battle of the Nations. Very strict rules (no sharp edges and all kit has to be authentic), Russia and Israel regularly do very well as they are all ex forces. From what I saw of some in France I reckon the Russian hooligans are as well.
