Feel for the genuine English people that want to enjoy a tournament. Unfortunately some beered up morons of low intelligence try to ruin it. @talkSPORTDrive: Majority English, lots of locals, a few Russian. English = old thugs out of retirement & young lads looking for the buzz. Hopefully the forceful French Police will deal with anyone causing trouble. Imagine being a 50yr old bloke who can't go abroad to watch football without throwing tables and bottles around shouting "come on then". Pathetic.

The Cat Posted 10 June, 2016 Share Posted 10 June, 2016 There's clearly going to be a few idiots there, but plenty of the trouble is being caused by local Marseille fans and Russians. This won't stop most people blaming the English though. French police also very quick to throw some tear gas into the mix which always makes things look a lot worse than they are.

Fair enough. Never done that. I agree the English fans are an easy target due to the legacy of hooliganism, but you have to say a minority of fans do the wider English support no favours.

Saint Charlie Posted 11 June, 2016 Share Posted 11 June, 2016 (edited) I mean travelled away supporting them and experiencing provocation and incompetent over zealous policing and so realise media reporting and what actually happens is often somewhat different. Isn't that what separates the sensible fans from the thugs? The thugs want provoking so so they have an excuse to start trouble. Others will just go to a different area or a different bar away from where the trouble is or wouldn't bother going to the same area as the bellends in the first place. Even more so if you travelled regularly then you would know which people to steer clear from. Some of them probably go for a week and spent virtually all day, every day sat around by an Irish Bar drinking rather than seeing what the place they have travelled to has to offer. I don't believe that normal, rational people go away to watch an England (some for their summer holiday), get provoked and then instantly turn into table flipping hooligans reciting their best bits from Football Factory. The people who get involved want to be involved in the main. @talkSPORTDrive: Final tweet tonight. In #Marseille it was aggressive, tear gas etc. Yet round corner you could sit with a beer. That's my experience tonight If you don't want aggro, move away from the aggro. Edited 11 June, 2016 by Saint Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalkboy Posted 11 June, 2016 Share Posted 11 June, 2016 Having to watch & listen to the ITV commentary this evening will probably induce drunken riots here too. Tyldesley and Hoddle were bad enough last night. I switched off 10 minutes into the second half. Got fed up of Tyldesley screaming "GIROUD!!" or "PAYET!!!" every time they were near goal. Then there's his pronuciation of Pogba which would occasionally become PogBAR. He did the same with Drogba, or Drogbarrr I should say. Hoddle sounds like he's been on the p*ss to me, or maybe senility is closing in. Then there is his classic footballer's grammar - "he's one of them players", "he's came out for the ball". Never thought I'd say it, but Andy Townsend would be more soothing on the ear. Wonder who the BBC will have commentating. Please not Phil Neville.

Saint Billy Posted 11 June, 2016 Share Posted 11 June, 2016 Read a couple of weeks ago that some of the Russian fanbase were going for a brawl with the English. Sky briefly touched on it this morning stating that a small amount of Russians were involved but mainly focused on the English. I don't condone the thug mentality and our reputation does proceed us but the English aren't well liked generally and I believe they do get a certain amount of provocation.

Turkish Posted 11 June, 2016 Share Posted 11 June, 2016 Funny how no one has mentioned the 10 Russians attacking one loan England fan, or how the French bar owner interviewed on the telly where the trouble was the first night said England fans we're blameless and came under attack from local Marseille fans. No let's all jump on the bandwagon and blame the England fans because they're all thick and embarass our country, its absolutely nothing to do with anyone else.

View From The Top Posted 11 June, 2016 Share Posted 11 June, 2016 Pretty obvious to anyone what was going to happen down there which is why I told my lad I wouldn't take him and why my mates are staying further up the coast and only travelling into the city today It's an iffy place at the best of times but add in a few 100 England lads hell bent on trouble, Russians and the locals then I'm surprised on how tame it's been so far.
