You can't ban teams, for the disgusting behaviour of a few hundred idiots!!

 

IMO there should be serious consequences for football hooligans!! Hand out hefty jail time!! Make it not worth the tear up!!

 

Apparently according to sky news yesterday the French police werent handling the so called fans in the WRONG way they where being too hard on them

 

Water cannons tear gas and all that

 

Better to let them go down a side street and have a good scrap and knock the hell out of each other when it gets too bad then the police can go in and have some on the job training and split the f ***** up

 

and then wash the claret off the street with the water cannon

In reality what hefty jail time are they gonna get when that country will have to feed them while they are in Jail. So Perhaps they should ban their team.What a perfect deterrent if the 100,000 supporters had spent all that money for nothing I'm sure they would have a quiet chat with the few hundred

Of course you can, make an example they won't be doing it again in a hurry.

Loved reading this thread based on half truths portrayed by the press who love to see England fans 'rioting'.

 

A few FACTS from someone currently still in Marseille and about to travel to Lens.

 

Organised local youths have enticed congregations of England fans by throwing bottles on the two nights prior to the match. The English have retaliated and this has been filmed, photographed and shown around the world. The police then moved in with the tear gas whilst the youths scarper. Again the press have a field day.

 

I was in the old port in Marseille on match day from 0830 and saw absolutely no violence from the thousand of England fans. It was a carnival atmosphere until around 5pm when around 200 Russian 'ultras' charged fans from a side street. Most fans didn't know what was happening until it was too late. They were largely dressed in black with Russian writing and faces covered. They attacked all within hitting distance, wether your a hooligan or a proper fan.

 

One fan, who has been in the press with the black eye and portrayed as a hooligan, was actually attacked and mugged by Russian fans. He was due to go on to the next game but has decided to go home as his trip has been ruined. After the game there were no taxis anywhere. England fans were stranded in Marseille, a city with a history of football related violence. Local youths in there hundreds were attacking us.

 

We ended up paying a local 80 euros to drive us the 15 miles to our camp site just to get out of the city and away from the trouble.

 

We were tear gassed several times before the game as this is the police's method of moving crowds on, regardless of what you are doing.

 

England fans are not angels. They are a target and there is a minority who are intent on causing violence. This is true of many nations.

 

You may term me as just another English hooligan. I am actually Scottish, have lived in England half my life and came because I love the atmosphere of big tournaments.
