[Football] UEFA has threatened to disqualify England and Russia from Euro 2016

[Return of the Rev]

Cool. Next time I go away with England, where do I register my vote? You're absolutely right, a 17 year old throwing a bottle in my direction would be bang tidy. If you could just arrange for him to sing a few unpleasant irrelevant songs, leer at local women, indulge in a bit of petty theft and maybe aggressively front up to the local rozzers, I think we might have a deal.

Alternatively, maybe that doesn't seem like any sort of choice at all.

Enjoy your trip with England! Another drip contributing to the great English brain drain

Just copied and pasted this report.

Finally home after a weekend of mixed emotions.
Some of the scenes I have been witness to this weekend in Marseille have shocked me beyond belief.
Seen so many tweets and posts from so many ill informed and gullible people.
I'm not denying England has many idiots supporting them, home and away, but we were attacked on numerous occasions, and offered no protection whatsoever by the French Police. They seemed intent on just firing tear gas, which effected everyone, not just the few trouble makers, and all it did was spread the crowd into another area and enrage innocent people.
But this was nothing compared to the savage attack from around 3-400 Russian cowardly animals, we witnessed at close quarters and took cover from. They set upon a small section of English fans who minutes earlier were enjoying a sing song with many French fans. We were pelted with bottles, chairs, tables and anything that wasn't bolted down. Any one caught in the way were set upon by 4-5 Russians and beaten severely, including when already unconscious.
I had to plead with and shout at the French Riot Police for at least a minute, for them to perform CPR on a guy who was clearly not breathing, he is still, in a critical condition and I will be very surprised if he survives.
So before you slate and tar all England supporters as hooligans, have a think and see what you would have done, when constantly attacked, provoked with out any support from the hundreds of deployed police?

Where/who was that from? Pretty grim but unsurprising and ties in with most of what I've read from different sources.

Bit rich coming from you. They don't come drippier than you in your sad git pics following England in Mexico FFS.

Half the hooligans between Lands End and Berwick upon Tweed will be heading out to give the russians a kicking I fear.

I think not..... if you believe that you don't know football.

Thank you for casting your judgment, and maybe you are right and I "don't know football".

But I'll stick by my fear that it'll be like a warzone on Wednesday and Thursday in Lille.

I'm not one to advocate violence, but these Russian tits have seriously pissed me off. England, it is time. SEND IN THE WEALDSTONE RAIDER!!

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

I think that's harsh.

It is and i said could be argued.......judging by the fact only English and no Russians have been arrested,perhaps the French authorities see things that way.

I suspect the Russians weren't arrested because they had a plan, had trained for the event and were organised.

Our lot were just a bit dim and pissed up, which makes it easy to be arrested. Lobbing bottles at a gendarme standing ten yards in front of you makes you a sitting duck.

The Russians definately had an escape plan.

It all feeds into Putin's narrative that Russians can go anywhere and do what they want.

He'll be giving them all medals next.

Igor Lebedev, a Russian Football Union (RFU) official and MP from the populist Liberal Democratic party, tweeted that there was "nothing wrong with fans fighting". He told them to "keep up the good work".

 

[LamieRobertson]

Totally agree.

I'd have played Vardy instead of Sterling too.

Thinking the same...why didn't he bring on Vardy when Sterling was subbed?

2018 WC in Russia is shaping up to be WW3.

I'd never apologise for racism but you're a bit like Glenn Hoddle. You think you're intelligent but you're actually wrong about pretty much everything. Writing style gives it away as much as content.

Hmmm how to respond?!? Whatever I say i suspect you'll be aghast at my 'trying too hard' prose. I think upon reflection and by default, through your assessment of me, you've made yourself look like the one trying to be a smart arse. Glenn Hoddle?!? obviously he's got some very strange and abhorrent religious ideas, but I think you're referring to his quasi intellectual footballing missives.... Again hmmmm... I guess I'd rather be compared to him than a racist.

And my legs are far nicer.

Moreover what I do find odd, is this idea that being wrong or indeed right within a pointed debate is a sign of intelligence or lack thereof. That aside, i haven't professed to be right, merely expressed my perspective based on what I've seen and feel.

I do appreciate your first line however, thanks for that.

I guess that's a 'rap' LL.

Kosh

Easier to arrest our fans especially when our police are over there helping the French .....makes one wonder if the Russians are helping the French too... probably not.

Easier to arrest our fans because they stand in front of the French OB and lob bottles at them.

The Russians have worked out their exit routes from confrontations well in advance, and target victims where there are no police around.

Let's hope the French police cover some of the entry/exit points or we will be booted out come Friday morning.....if the Welsh have not already done so......i fear a repeat.

If we can't win a PUNCH up at the football how the hell will we WIN WW3 ?
