supercidered Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Christ, I can imagine all the goading from our lovely Cardiff & Swansea fans before and after the game on Thursday. Whichever way you look at it... I can't see this turning out well. Even if we do well on the pitch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 51 minutes ago, formerly known as ivan said: There should be a boycott of the World Cup by fans across the world should Russia still be allowed to host the tournament in 2018. That way it will hit both FIFA and Russia given the money they invest in hosting the biggest sporting event in the world. I believe what the Russians have done is just shown a snippet of what they will be like in their own country with organised violence and will be allowed to get away with it as their government encourage it. They are a corrupt, homophobic, vile country from top to bottom! Unfortunately, at the time they were awarded the 2018 World Cup, no one knew that they were corrupt and vile from top to bottom - suspected yes, but couldn't be sure. FIFA, that is!

If you're Russian, chances are you won't know the difference between English & Welsh, we dress the same and to them (I guess) we all sound the same - you can just as easily attach a Welshman as an Englishman if they aren't wearing colours I'd hope that the English & Welsh would be together on this one.

You're always going to get boisterous fans who sing offensive songs - it's a bit tragic, but it's not a terrible offence and I doubt it was that that provoked the Russians and the local youths. They were spoiling for a fight anyway. As for your original comment, I really don't think 'exhaustion' can be used as an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what they are saying , not in this actual context but in France they are charged with policing the all night manifestations against the new government work laws , the strikes and the appalling terrorist attacks and their conséquences . They have been piling on the over time and the force is stretched to the limit . These are the same guys who had to pull the bodies out of the Eagles of Death Métal gig after combatting the terrorists. So just doing their jobs . Are you always as efficient when you're stressed and over tired ? Not trying to defend their actions , just trying to help a little with understanding .

22A Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Today on BBC Radio 5 they interviewed a Russian fan. "See? 120 Russian fans saw off 2,000 English fans. They're not hooligans, they're posers. We are the real hooligans". He then added "We're all football fans though and when the fightings over I'll gladly sit down to a beer with an English fan".

Guest Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 The Russian's have now lost against Slovakia. Chances of staying in the tournament now, pretty poor. Incentive to behave, now gone. If you are an English fan in France, be safe because I suspect that this isn't going to end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds as if they are trying to kick off already but it looks like the English & Welsh are sticking together and are obviously much better prepared than our lads were on Saturday. The Russians have lost the element of surprise. How has it come to this situation where every other decent fan has to mob up just to avoid possibly being killed.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Sounds to me that English hoolies bit off more than they could actually chew by trying to take on the Ruskies in Marseille, the Ruskies got bored with not a lot of action, so then broke the first rule of hoolie club by attacking everybody and anybody. and last night in Lille blaming the Ruskies seems not to be an option.
