Are England fans Liverpool fans in disguise? It's never their fault.

It's a shame that you guys have a small minority of utter cretins but at least take some responsibility for when those said Cretins start a punch up.

I'm really surprised that this happened,its really out of character of both sets of fans..

 

[yankspurs]

Your not allowed to support your country. It's frowned upon. You have to wear Belgium retro shirts and drink craft beer.

Craft beer >>>>>>>>> any other beer. Dont be hatin on craft beer. Very good and alot of alcohol.

I'd gladly blame a lot of the England fans but everything we're hearing says otherwise. Including locals.

Really? Did you not read the article that I quoted?

Nope I'll have a look. I know some people who went out there. Both lawyers in London and both not the type for any of this stuff, I'll see what they come back with. What I do know is that spurs fans got targeted all round Europe. So it wouldn't surprise me to see the England fans on the receiving end Aswell.

Does anyone else feel embarrassed by fellow Englishfolk abroad? When I was in Amsterdam I felt a constant, deep shame and felt extremely sorry for the locals. And it was almost exclusively people from Britain making fools of themselves. Despite there being plenty of tourists from other countries, it was always fellow Brits spread stomach-down, teetering on edge of a canal.

Not saying the English fans are the sole blame for what's happening in Marseille. Just a general observation.

Anyho, tonight's game should be exciting.

It's funny, I hear that more about Australians. I guess it depends where you go but Brits abroad is a "thing".

Monkey can you post the article again please?

Yeah because lawyers never bend the truth

I posted the exact same article and we both obviously have had totally different interpretations of it

UEFA and the French police have got some serious questions to answer.

UEFA will open disciplinary proceedings over the violence in Marseille, with Russia facing the stronger sanctions after its fans attacked England supporters in the stadium.

After a third straight day of fighting in the Mediterranean port city, violence spread to the Stade Velodrome at Saturday's game.

After the 1-1 draw, a large group of Russian fans in one of the stands behind the goal advanced on England supporters in the neighboring area, throwing objects and breaking through a line of stewards. England fans fled for the exits.

When UEFA's disciplinary panel judges the latest incident in Marseille, it could take Russian fans' track record of violence into account, including at Euro 2012 when stadium security staff were attacked in Poland.

All the worry about terrorism the police have taken their eyes off the hooligans

Atleast one critically injured.

If we get away with 3 deaths looking at some of the pictures and factoring in tonight's attacks I think we will be lucky.

What a tragic farce from the UEFA and the French.
