England fans causing trouble or the French police provoking it?

Re: England might get kicked off Europe sooner than we think
 

There was trouble last time England were in France during the world cup there sadly.

Sadly there will always be a element who go abroad to start trouble and the French police certainly won't mess around unlike some other police forces.

It'll be a combination of those things, including provocation by local yobs. The French don't require the presence of English footy fans to quite enjoy a nice riot and it doesn't take much for their 'police' to resort to batons, gas etc.

just shows how well we Europeans work together ;)

Yes, England fans are innocent lambs. Those foreigners force them to fight wherever they go...

It is a city famous for football violence as well.

Any other moronic fans causing trouble or is it just the so called England fans?

years ago I worked in Switzaerland, I became a regular in a pub in Zurich near city centre. It wasn't a football fans pub, just a regular pub, one Saturday afternoon, after last match of the season some of the away fans came in to the pub, the atmosphere was fine, jovial messing about, some-one tooks ome-ones hat, it started getting passed around, then all of a sudden it was chairs being thrown around, the barmen forced the visitor out, closed the shutter,s locking us in, we could hear thudding as the away fans threw the outside plastic chairs at the shutters.

it was pretty scary, I think the person who was most scared was one of the away fans who was coming back from the loo as it all kicked off, so was stuck with loads of "us" between him and his mates, I'm glad to say he got through "us" unharmed.



It's not just England fans who do this sort of thing, but if there is trouble between any other fans it doesn't make our news, whether the locals started it or not.

Listening to radio 5 Live yesterday, they said the French police use tear gas as a standard operating procedure.

No there are others as well l hear as Russian fans have been causing trouble as well and one suspects troublemakers from other countries are lying in wait as well.

Yes watch out for the Welsh nationalists... All their fans have guilty of today is brilliant singing. Maybe England 'fans' could try it. Might be fun.

Sadly we have that stupid band to listen too on a regular basis.:rolleyes:

Love how it's all aimed at England, disgraceful scenes from both sides but the racist homophobic Russians appear to be escaping the eye.

Absolutely mortified FIFA have still made no attempt to remove the world cup from Russia despite being the above, constant hooliganism and Racial abuse throughout. Further proof that FIFA still serve absolutely no purpose to world football other than to get rich using it. Merely a month after removing these so called corrupt officials, the new set up were asking for their bribe money back.

This crap was rampant in Poland and its rampant now.

Still absolutely ashamed to see England involved though, fighting over football, cretins.

The Guardian has done a decent job at avoiding implicating Russian fans. Got a message from a lad close by saying a few England fans got into a fight with some Russian fans and police responded to which England fans pelted them with bottles and basically caused a riot. Seems to match the BBCs version of events. Absolute *******s.

Well the fans are only reacting to being "attacked by French yobs"

Re: England might get kicked off Europe sooner than we think
 

Trouble has followed England for decades, there is a common factor...
Don't know why we worry about immigrants so much, we should worry about the yobs we inflict on others.
