In that case it was warranted...but docking Russia & England of points so early in the tournament is unfair on the players (not to mention the millions of fans not involved with the incident) . These incidents can be largely avoided by having stronger police presence at the stadiums to control the crowds, I just think punishing the teams is the wrong way of going about it because of fucktard ultras

Sky News suggesting there were no police inside the stadium, only stewards.

Yeah, it's actually hilarious. I bet half these fuck-nuggets hate immigrants and Muslims as well. It's like the EDL, used to come to towns like mine and smash up shops, attack our citizens and do so against 'radical Islam' and 'terrorism'. Twats.

Not just stupid, but a shamelessly corrupt decision.
This goes for Russia 2018, too.

British Ambassador to France has confirmed an incident. It might not be someone being thrown in front of a train, but something has happened.
Edit: they just tweeted this... hospitalised - so no death.

i wonder how low the FIFA would go for enough money. Host the World Cup in the northpole on ice.
What the flying fuck...

Russia will not screw up with the World Cup, if needed we'll just bring in the army in every city, like we did in Sochi. What's the logic here anyway? Let's never host a cup in France again since they can't control the population now! You think it's so easy to move the cup, but we've already spent way too much money on building the stadiums and infrastructure to accomodate people, so do think twice before you start nationalistic profiling based on the actions of a few nutjobs. Or are we in "All Muslims are terrorists" territory already?
If someone got pushed under the train then there should be a murder investigation.
Point.
My point was that for Coventry it wasn't warranted.
But I accepted it because something major had to be done.
But this. No police in the stadium is just bloody ridiculous.

you say that like Sochi wasn't an abomination. Idgaf how much money you spent on this already.
Yea Sochi is not a good example*, it was one city and it was not a major Football tournament.
They enjoy kicking the shit out of other fans more than they do watching the game. It's weird because doesn't matter if you win, draw or lose these "Ultras" will still kick off. Football Factory more fact than fiction.
I'm just very concerned of what might happen given if this is what a handful of russian ultras can do, there's gonna be 1000s more in 2018? Obviously I don't mean to generalize or anything and I apologize if it came across that way.

And what was so abominable about Sochi organisation? In a region with quite a volatile population under threat from terrorsits attack it went pretty much without a hitch.
Well Russian ultras won't go to every game, now will they? The trouble usually comes from the teams' fans. Once again, I do think that unlike France we just won't have qualms bringing in the real army if necessary to police the cities during the games, the benefits of a semi-dictatorship.

They're probably at their wits end seeing a group that burns, drowns, beheads, bludgeons and rapes people being compared to football hooligans. As shitty as they are.
Yo gotta be FUCKING kidding me
Lashley

I'm not really comparing them, it's just a shame regular people can't behave in a country that not long ago was targeted by terrorists
Comparing football hooligans to crazed terrorists would be silly

Just saw that. Hope the young woman will be okay, and get the help she needs.

Even though it has been jokingly brought up in this thread, the ISIS connection isn't that far off, just not as extreme.... usually. They are brainwashed from an early age, brought up on false ideals like loyalty and fraternity and yet... most of the hooligan leaders are actually small-time drug-dealers or just manipulating crooks that are employed by bigger crime bosses to use the rest as fodder when they are needed.
When the war in the Balkans started some of the worst paramilitary units were made up off football hooligans, because it was easy for manipulating bastards to simply transfer the notion of loyalty and fraternity to a football club to loyalty and fraternity to a nation and then crank it up to an extreme and it worked terrifyingly well.

Seems that French "fans" were trying to kick things off in Nice between Northern Ireland and Polish supporters.

Looool on BBC News just now live coverage from a park near Eiffell Tower. Irish fans and a Scottish fan jumping around singing "England's going home!" to the tune of THAT song lol
The thread title doesn't work though. Since 4/6 of 3rd place teams will go through, England can still easily qualify even if they struggle through.

Fake edit: And dat thread title change.
They're just swapping jerseys~
The long con. Let us destroy ourselves, it's genius.
Nice to see sportsmanship alive and well.
This is just gang mentality which yeah on the most basic of surfaces you can make a comparison to fucking ISIS of all things. I'm sure it'll be in The Sun at some point this week.
