They were just protesting about not having a major tournament since 1996.
Would probably end in serious injuries or even deaths. I really hope this sort of thing stays at the minimum in the WC.I'd love to see these same fans do the same in Russia.

You might as well be from Russia considering your username, so I'm sorry if the following is obvious for you It probably will be at the minimum. The hooligans and ultras who fight each other in Russia do so in remote areas because it wouldn't go down well with the OMON special forces.Would probably end in serious injuries or even deaths.

The Russian hooligans targeted the English in France.I think it’s fair to say that if English fans get attacked in Russia, it would be more likely due to their bad behavior, and not because they were targeted in particular. I don’t expect many here to agree with me. Most people like to deny the truth.
I feel sorry for the innocent English fans who simply travel to watch and enjoy the game. It hurts to know that they might end up getting caught up in unfortunate events due to no fault of theirs.

I wonder will they change their minds about going to Russia.They were just protesting about not having a major tournament since 1996.
Nah, wouldn't say so. These silly cnuts can't do any proper damage, the Ivan Drago lookalikes from Russia can do some proper damage though.Are they worse than the Russians?
Someone mentioned on the radio earlier, that some of this lot probably saw this as their last big chance of a jolly abroad as they won't be going to Russia. They are like a very out of control stag party.I wonder will they change their minds about going to Russia.
I know they aren't, Eastern Europe is much worse this days, but its nice to see in England the majority of the media and fans don't like them, while in Russia they are praised as national heroes.Nah, wouldn't say so. These silly cnuts can't do any proper damage, the Ivan Drago lookalikes from Russia can do some proper damage though.
Exactly. Our lot can't take their drink, like most Brits. The Russians are like a very highly organised militiary regiment.Nah, wouldn't say so. These silly cnuts can't do any proper damage, the Ivan Drago lookalikes from Russia can do some proper damage though.
Hells bells.
Not sure .
It's just a facade. All from behind are like this skinny one with a yellow shirt around his waist on the left.

Putin's brownshirts...(without the brown shirts)

Maybe, you’re right but I find this hard to believe. Why would Russian fans travel gob France to deliberately target fans of a different country in particular? Why English fans exactly?The Russian hooligans targeted the English in France.
Not exactly. You’re trying too hard a paint an unnecessary narrative. English fans have history with such acts and Russian fans are not far off either. The major difference being that the average Russian hooligan/fan is more thuggish and that reflected in the outcomes of the scuffles.I think you are giving the Russian hooligans too much credit here. They have some 80's macho bullshit going on with facing the English, only problem is that the news about all the real English hooligans being denied travel and the firms being dismembered never reached Russia.
Because the English fans are the ones traditionally famous for hooligans, so the Russians wanted to fight the most notorious.Why would Russian fans travel gob France to deliberately target fans of a different country in particular? Why English fans exactly?
Because of England's history and association with hooliganism. At least that was the explanation given by the Russian hooligans I saw detailing why they had targeted English fans. Which, as evidence of English fans being targeted by Russian hooligans goes, is pretty damn solid.Maybe, you’re right but I find this hard to believe.

If it were up to me, both set of fans would never see football games again.
Looks like a Saturday night out on Canal Street that.

Fcuk me, look at that bear just left of centre.

I'm Serbian but close enough haha. Your probably right that this WC will be the safest in a long time in terms of security and if idiots still try bullshit like that "just for the fun of it" they better hope the Ultras get to them before the Police. I used to be in the Police here in Serbia and remember our guidelines on foreign troublemakers, let's just say we were allowed alot. The communist ways are hard to completely erase from the law enforcing agencies in eastern European countries, biggest reason why I left the force aswell.You might as well be from Russia considering your username, so I'm sorry if the following is obvious for you It probably will be at the minimum.

The Russian government has no problem cracking down on any sort of defiance. In the beginning of the 2000's it was a tradition for protesters to travel to wherever the G8 summit was held, riots in Italy, France, England etc. Once the summit happened in Russia, it was zero. Those who tried to go to a protest there were either sent back from the border, locked down before the planned events or beaten and dispersed in minutes. If i remember right, the Russian sports' minister commented on what went down in Marseilles during the EURO's, he said that WC18 will be the safest ever and I wouldn't be surprised if it was, mostly to prove a point, good for propaganda too.
They've got Zuckerberg on the caseThe British media need to name and shame each and every one of them, mug shots, place of work (if any), past history, the lot.
Insensitive songs?!
I believe the rest of the 'Ten German bombers' song goes 'And the RAF from England shot them down'. Bit of a weird patriotic song really but it wasn't sung to highlight Amsterdam getting bombed during WWII as the video would seem to suggest.Insensitive songs?!
Yeah it’s a bit different than drunken middle aged men being wankers, these guys are organised and usually involved in organised crime, like some of the firms in England in the 70-80s. Ross Kemp done an episode where’s he investigated them, it’s worth a watch.Fcuk me, look at that bear just left of centre.
Ya really shows how tough the Russians were last world cup targeting defenseless bystanders because they're English.Because the English fans are the ones traditionally famous for hooligans, so the Russians wanted to fight the most notorious.
