Seen a few clips. People will blame police. Also singing f the ira in an Irish bar. Most of them haven’t got the slightest bit of clue. My old man is from southern eire and he couldn’t give a f about the provos :s. About time fa took action
The scum from Glasgow slowly getting into your game. Newco supporting England and Celtic supporting Ireland. Sad to see English fans being sucked into the Irish problem and using football to voice their bile. Well I hope that one day you have both for keeps in your game because both have ruined our game. Utter knuckle dragging scum.
reports of bottles being thrown in the fan zone , what happened to plastic cups , even Folk festivals don't have glass bottles or pint pots . I don't think its the F the IRA bit that's offensive , its the line before that's unpalatable , the UDA are equally as despicable as the IRA
Embarrassing, neandathols. I hope the police give them a goodhiding, no doubt will get " the police were heavy handed" ******
I've seen some clips and it looks clear to me who are to blame and it definitely isn't the police. These hooligans (I'm not calling them fans) are a disgrace and shouldn't be anywhere near football. I hope appropriate action is taken.
Having followed England away for quite a few years I'm not judging it on a few clips, I'm not saying they're not to blame but some of the stuff I've seen from foreign coppers and our own media is shocking. All that you don't see when you're sat at home.
Absolutely. Terrorists are terrorists regardless of which side of the fight they are on. Fans chanting this sh*t completely miss this important point.
Nonsense, they should be cattle prodded. Absolute embarrassment to the country . If you want trouble you can find it, if you don't then stay away from the imbeciles. "I just found myself in the middle of it officer". Load a ******** .
Sadly, football attracts a high proportion of morons. I'd say 'bring back the birch' but I'm a softy leftie so don't agree with it.
Just to level the playing field I await the gutter press stories about the Guimaraes people lining the streets to applaud the fans back to town after the game, the praise for English and Swiss fans sharing trains back to Porto singing each other’s songs or the bar owners thanking us for our custom and behaviour. Up to 20 thousand England fans over here a handful of idiots and nothing but negative headlines that even people off here feed on. I for one love being a Barnsley fan and an England fan and long may it continue.
Yeah our fans are better behaved than the video going around of the Welsh fan masterbating in the street in Croatia.
The only time this has happened before is Japan 2002. Disappointing to keep hearing how poor our behaviour is when it’s clearly not true but everyone judges based on a few idiots mentioned in the press That they usually don’t trust.
Absolute nonsense. I’m out here currently and it’s been nothing but a party atmosphere. Obviously there’s always one or two idiots and it’s usually them that get the attention. The fan parks have all been mixed and the Portuguese were joining in with our songs in the final just gone. Like the video above we got clapped out of 3rd place game. Honestly felt like a film star aha. Loved every second of this trip and gutted to see that the media have focused and made us look bad when in reality it’s not been the case.
As usual I’ve had a great time out following England (apart from the footy and VAR!). Fabulous atmosphere in Guimarães today and in Porto this evening. Trouble in Porto earlier last week due to young pillocks who just get pissed up and then behave atrociously. They all deserve passports removed for say five years. We always stay clear of them and therefore any trouble (except In Marseille when Russians were attacking anyone everywhere). Also needs saying that Portuguese hospitality has been great but the organisation at the Holland game last week was appalling. Lucky that there weren’t serious injuries either entering the ground or getting trains after the match.
Been one of the better trips for me loved every minute. Here until Tuesday would love to come back here with the 3 lions but unlikely. Think we have left some positive memories with the locals. Follow England away.
