Lets hope they are ok.
Why people feel the need to travel all that way and resort to mindless violence is beyond me.
Rivalry is one thing but no one should lose their life going to a football match

There is a video online, I won't post it. It's horrific.

Ban the Russians from their next games. Disgusting behaviour, they beat an unconscious man on the floor.

Strip the World Cup from them too.

 

[gregbrighton]

Just makes me more certain that there are people there on all sides not actually interested in the football but there into gang warfare and spoiling for fights. It's utterly repugnant and pathetic.

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

Beggars belief that the police didn't act when these hooligans went marching into town. Why not stop it before it has a chance to start. You really do question the authorities that are in charge.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Looking through the videos there's gangs of organised russians in black t-shirts running round indiscriminately battering any England fan they can find with weapons.

Those Russian firms are absolute head cases, they treat fighting like a sport and have probably spent months training for this.

We only sing when we're winning. Ooh it's not fair they are harder than us. We never do that.

 

[Blackadder]

Sadly, there was always going to be trouble at this fixture, bearing in mind the opponents and the City chosen as a venue. Recipe for disaster.

I think Turkey are playing Croatia over the next couple of days. Wouldn't be surprised if that was a volatile affair as well.

I remember, right back in the day, someone saying of the Balkan hooligans, 'when you've grown up dodging genocide and bullets a chair isn't that intimidating'.

The Eastern Europeans have wanted a piece of 'the English disease' for years.

Probably because our lads aren't out there. English fans out there are like you and me, Ordinary fans. The Russians don't ban the hooligans.

French police totally inept at dealing with these situations.

Very true but they are Russian and English thugs. No Balkans and the Russians Do not consider themselves Eastern European.

Sad thing is that the Russian authorities have probably done little to identify the hooligans and stop them in their country from travelling whereas the UK police agencies have done an awful lot of preventatve measures to stop known violent English hooligans from travelling.

I will await [MENTION=474]Mr Blobby[/MENTION] 's report.

Very sad scenes

How very DARE Russian firms spend 'months training for this'. They should have been MADE to spend the last nine months cramming their faces with lard and Carlsberg like our homegrown northern white trash.

Having been in Marseille for the World Cup the police are happy to let the English get a beating and allow those that give it get away before turning up and arresting any English that are still about.
We get the blame no matter what.
Bottom line the French police do not manage the situation but hang around in their vans and turn up when it is all over.

Really?
