StanSP Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 Unbelievable. They are saying on sky sports news that Russian and English fans could clash again on Wednesday in Lille. Russia are playing in Lille and England in Lens. However Lens and Lille is half hour away. And England Fans have been told by UEFA not to stay in Lens as the Welsh fans will be there. I thought it was because Lens is such a small town there's very little accommodation there anyway. The stadium size holds more than the population of the town of Lens anyway!
Finnegan Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 The **** did I call anyone on here a hooligan? Have a word.
GaelicFox Posted 13 June 2016 Author Posted 13 June 2016 More than 150 "hyper-violent" Russian Ultras are on their way to Lille to ambush England fans again after French police failed to arrest them during the first weekend of Euro 2016 in Marseille. Brice Robin, chief prosecutor of Marseille, admitted his officers were overwhelmed during four days of violence involving England supporters. "I don't want to go as far as to suggest these are professionals but they are extreme and well-trained," Mr Robin told the media, as he reacted with shock to the ferocity of the Russian attacks. The organised paramilitary-style Russian Ultras were "hyper-fast" and "hyper-violent", he added. There is a hardcore group of Russian fans who are willing to use extreme violence said Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts The squad that ambushed drunk fans during a wave of attacks inside and outside the Stade Velodrome all managed to evade police. The worst injured England fan was named online on Monday as 51-year-old Portsmouth supporter Andrew Bache. Officers said he suffered a critical brain injury after he was hit several times by Russia supporters with an iron bar in the head. But despite the behaviour of the Russian fans, who fought running battles in the streets and also charged at England fans in the Stade Velodrome after Saturday night's 1-1 opening draw, no Russians have been arrested over the violence. Most of the Russians who caused trouble were known hooligans and authorities failed to take their passports away, the French police chief said. He said about 150 Russian hooligans had been involved in the trouble, describing them as "hyper violent" and "hyper rapid". They were among 12,000 Russians who were in Marseille over weekend. But Mr Robin said just two Russian fans had been arrested, both for a pitch invasion.
yorkie1999 Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 Wheres that lot from crystal palace when you need them?
ScouseFox Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 Any trouble between England and Wales and it's a ****ing disgrace. We are neighbours on the same little island fgs and we should standby each other. Good luck surviving outside the EU if we don't even look out for ourselves in the United Kingdom. stand by people like finners when he's going round calling people on here hooligans? you messing?
Finnegan Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 stand by people like finners when he's going round calling people on here hooligans? you messing? I'm just fed up of you bouncing around FT pretending you're a lad when you're not a lad tbh
VLC86 Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 The most disturbing part for me, is that they have beat beaten up by blokes wearing bum bags. The shame of it!! If I was wearing a bum bag I would expect a kicking.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 Wheres that lot from crystal palace when you need them? To be fair there were plenty on unattended flags around after the Russians had chased everyone off, they would have loved hovering them all up after
Mike Oxlong Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 We love a bit of casual racism in Wales. I grew up thinking "the Pakis" was just what you called a corner shop. I'm pretty sure my nan still calls it that. You trying to curry favour by introducing some leavened flatbread into the debate ?
Kinowe Soorie Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 If I was wearing a bum bag I would expect a kicking. 16h16 hours ago Matt Dickinson @DickinsonTimes Head of UK football policing been explaining Russian fan bum bags: to hold gum shield, balaclava and MMA fighting gloves and/or knife. Nice
Livid Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 Wheres that lot from crystal palace when you need them? Probably washing their hair, couldn't get the time off, or some other convenient excuse In all honesty though, to think this is what they model themselves on

You cannot justify violence just because a few say something you don't like or agree with. That's life I'm afraid. England has more than its fair share of idiots. We are already on a final warning for violence.

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 Good piece from the FSF as per. "With a few honourable exceptions, the knee-jerk first response of many in the media and in politics has been once again to cast blame on us, lazily or to suit their own agenda falling back on out-of-date stereotypes about English hooligans abroad."
GaelicFox Posted 13 June 2016 Author Posted 13 June 2016 There is a story Doing the rounds on Facebook of a dozen Russian oil rig guys in Aberdeen getting a free night on the ale in a pub up there because of the great job the Russians did in kicking the shite out of Edwards Army LOL
Nick Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 http://www.fsf.org.uk/latest-news/view/fsf-statement-attacks-on-english-fans-in-marseille-euro2016 Good piece - perhaps a tad lacking in balance, well written but with a few eyebrow raising phrases which arguably demonstrates a slant toward the colloquial rather than the professional author.....

GaelicFox Posted 13 June 2016 Author Posted 13 June 2016 http://www.fsf.org.uk/latest-news/view/fsf-statement-attacks-on-english-fans-in-marseille-euro2016The issue with that Stan is they need to be seen to also condemn very very strongly the singing and chanting of inappropriate songs and the throwing of thousands of bottles and glasses on thursday before the Russians arrived and sorted them out also needed to be condemned by the FSF in that statement If England want a party atmosphere im afraid you can't go away and start giving it large ! There is a reason ireland and denmark and countries like that have parties , it's because there is no cocky swagger and giving it large. But that said what the Russians did was sick !
Tom17LCFC Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 My missus' dads out there now, got a video of him in a bar with all his mates barricading the door to keep the Russians out, stun grenades and the rest, looked insane.
GaelicFox Posted 13 June 2016 Author Posted 13 June 2016 University professor on radio Radio presenter : "Why do they all hate England" ? Professor : "It goes back to the empire , the British empire was built and made strong by the fearsome reputation of the young men and boys who were taken from her slum cities , put in a uniform and marched all over the world , when they arrived there they would never flinch and never back down from a fight because they would want to defend king or queens honour and also in the slums backing down would have meant death, the modern English football hooligan is from the modern slums and the uniform has changed a little bit , but the attitude is the same , they will stand thier ground for queen and country and even in the face of massive threat like the Russians they will go down fighting to the end" It sort of makes sense if a little patronising and insulting. My missus' dads out there now, got a video of him in a bar with all his mates barricading the door to keep the Russians out, stun grenades and the rest, looked insane. Was it O malleys the Irish bar ? I have heard stories of people barricaded in there at one stage
