Uefa have warned England and Russia they could be disqualified if more trouble occurs.

Just read that on Sky news, what a joke if thats the end of it. UEFA along with the French police cannot wait for more problems with England fans, including them not protecting and allowing attacks

Yes of course I know that. They just want to fight other nations mobs who do all that 'Come on then' prancing around. Seems the Russians actually want a proper fight.

That seems fair on the thousands of peaceful English and Russian football fans, this is a set up from start to the finish. We already know the Russians will be in the same town in a week or so at the same time...

Hang on if they kick us and Russia out of an ongoing tournament how can they possibly let either team take part in the next World Cup or possibly hold it....

This seems an easy way out for them to take it off the Russians and never let us hold a major tournament for at least twenty years...

Maybe it's me, but this seems like a major set up, they knew what would happen by all reports.

I got back around an hour ago. Having been in Marseille in 1998 we took the early decision to avoid Vieux Port this time round and had no issues where we were (Castellane). As the afternoon progressed we were joined by more and more 'evacuees' from the old town, many of whom were covered in blood and absolutely terrified at what they'd seen. Axes and knives drawn, metal bars used to beat people. Premeditated and indiscriminate attacks by highly trained Russian ultras. One guy we spoke to was shaking, he'd seen the incident which required the victim to be resuscitated and was convinced he'd witnessed a murder. Most of these folk were not troublemakers, they were either young and naïve or simply ignorant of what the rest of us knew would happen in the port. English troublemakers seem to draw the line at chucking a few bottles /chairs about and maybe a bit of posturing and fisticuffs (all unacceptable, of course), but the Russians don't even have a pen with which to draw a line.

Thanks for the report. Who the **** would use an axe, in England you'd be locked away for years, bet there won't be any arrests for this trouble in which people almost died

From the videos I've seen, it looks like a ****ing war zone over there, I bet terrorists are wondering what to do with themselves

Ha yes I was just stating the obvious. What I noted from all the footage of the prancing England fans in the days leading up to the match was that the majority of them were very young. I spoke to friends at the game who also told me most England fans were very young 18 to 23. The Russians would have a 'proper fight' with England 20/30 years ago (especially the mob I saw in Holland 93) rather than the regular England following of the modern game

I would imagine that all the wannabe England hoolies will turn up In Lille on Wednesday for 'revenge'.

No I think they are too old and will fight from their keyboards. Telling all and sundry how they protected little England throughout the 80's. They will also be too scared.

Too old, wise, banned or busy washing their hair. I'm certainly not going to have a pop a people for NOT going to France for a fight.
