Re: Shaming England
Yes I guess it would make you feel ashamed to see this kind of behaviour from English "fans" in or out of England. I've felt a similar feeling when I've seen or heard of Australians misbehaving in other countries in the past: it doesn't seem to happen much anymore. Apart from "sandpapergate" of course. But at least that didn't involve anybody being physically injured. These guys aren't really interested in sport though are they? THey're just sad morons who are labouring under the delusion that they are "tough" yes? I was nearly beaten to death by a jackbooted English skinhead covered in union jacks and tattoos when I was a teenager. They attacked us as we were leaving an Australian Rules football match in Perth. I remember the one who was kicking me yelling "I'll teach you what real football is you Aussie $%^#" Unlike that incident no police came to help us. Maybe that's why to this day I can't stand men's soccer. Irrational I guess but it is what it is with me. I like the women's game though. They play tough, clean and fair. But still, England shouldn't feel ashamed because of these oxygen thieves. You have a long and proud sporting history and you gave birth to the fairest and most dignified games of all...cricket and rugby, The Ashes etc. The pride we feel in those sacred contests transcends any incidents like these. And there's one coming up next weekend!..So watch out!Re: Shaming England
HiRe: Shaming England
Fourteen arrests out of how many supporters.....Are we the only supporters that cause trouble. What about all the professional Russian trouble causers who goaded our fans at some other European tournament?Re: Shaming England
Re: Shaming England
As distasteful as I find this kind of publicity and those who are the root cause of giving England a bad name, if it's searched out there were 31 people in trouble with the law due to the way they cannot behave at football matches. It is only a game after all so why does this continually happen? Is there no form of legal consequences that will bring these people into line with the majority of English people who do behave properly all the time?Re: Shaming England
Been happening for donkeys years and it will not stop until the law starts hitting these yobs were it hurts.Re: Shaming England
