Why doesn't this violence stop

Football is never short of its troubles, yet we find that once again travelling football fans have been subject to violence from the French supporters of Lyon.

Whether this is due to the fact that Spurs history is connected to the Jewish Faith, really angers me that countries still allow this behaviour to continue.

It has been said that three Spurs fans are now in hospital, and another pub just round the corner was subject to the fighting, and yet police were notified of this intelligent several days ago and the police failed to arrive.

Its beggars belief that you cannot go abroad to follow your team without without getting beaten by sickos. And it will be the British supporters who gets the blame.

How strange.

So all those people were attacked by some other fans, dressed up as a lion bar.

French people are strange

Not really sure that the punishment fits the crime then...

That is to say, that it seems a little extreme - If I smacked someone in the face every time they were a little bit mouthy....... well, I'd probably be a happier person, but that's not the point

Doubtful given the rise in antisemitic violence in that area or in France in general

A report published this week by the Jewish Community Protection Service (SPCJ) in France, said 22 antisemitic acts reported to the police in Lyon last year, the third worst for a French city after Paris and Marseille. Neighbouring Villeurbanne, part of the wider Lyon area also experienced 22 incidents, in what the SPCJ called "a year of unprecedented violence against Jews in France".

Sports journalist Christian Radnedge, a Tottenham fan, who was in the bar - an English-style pub - told BBC Radio 5 live the men gave Nazi salutes before launching the attack.

Would suggest some sort of anti-semitic link. Whether that's an excuse or a cause remains to be seen though.

Either way. Seems to me the average away supporter probably has a screw or 2 loose regardless of the what team they support.

What link, by who

a large part of French club based supporters are tapped in the head, inbreds! but so are the Tottenham fans. They have been told to stop with the Jewish link by various people, there was even a campaign but still they carry on.

They were told to stop using Yid to describe themselves as it's anti-Semitic in nature but their argument is that they're reclaiming a word that was used against them. They've not been told to stop with the Jewish link. They're based in an area of London with a large contingent of Jewish people and have many Jewish fans.

the club is English not Jewish. They front it out as if the clubs Jewish.

The club is English with many Jewish fans. Jewish isn't a nationality, it's a religion and/or ethnic group. They don't front it out as a Jewish club but they proudly embrace their history, their area and their fans. I don't see a problem with that.
