Let us hope UEFA have the balls to see it through if there is more trouble.

Only relates to incidents inside the stadia though......so a Lille bloodbath is still very much on the cards unfortunately.....

Yet England were threatened with disqualification for the stuff outside the stadium.
Uefa make it up as they go along. It seems there's one rule for the English and another rule for everyone else.

Been in Marseille since Thursday morning. Thursday and Friday from what I seen were both minor scuffles between England & Old Bill/Locals. A lot of English were very drunk and just generally being rowdy having been drinking all day, ended with tear gas and police moving in with batons towards the end. Not nice when it goes off right next to you.
Saturday was generally good natured from English down the Old Port, with the exception of a few who decided to start throwing bottles at a local simply because he was waving a Chelsea shirt out of his apartment window. Then about 4ish about 100 Russians came down with the sole intention of fighting. These were organised, sober, clearly well-trained fighters and it seemed they were picking off lone England fans. Disgusting scenes. We went up by the ground shortly after this and that also descended into chaos, a bunch of England fans, myself included, were penned into a caged corner and tear gassed for no apparent reason, had to climb over 8 foot security fences to get clear of it.
The security in the stadium was a complete joke, absolutely no police presence and minimal stewarding, no surprise it went off at the end as well.
On a better note, Coventry were well represented over there, seen and spoken to plenty Sky Blues fans.

Look like they were backing away though. Reckon they realised they weren't 5-1 in numbers.

Yep.
Easy to tighten up security inside the stadium, so you would just assume it will all move outside.
Very worrying.
Wonder if they will throw France out though. They said all nations involved with the violent behaviour and apparently French fans have played their part in all this rubbish, so let's see if they threaten to throw France out of their own tournament.

As expected the Welsh and English have stood side by side against the Russians today.

Yes, just seen that. It gives me a sense of pride as the pre-tournament concerns were that they would be at each other.

Yep, seen the video. "We're England and Wales, fuck off Russia we're England and Wales"
Nice to see despite there being a big rivalry between our home nations, we'll stick together when these complete morons attack.

Yeah but it's a shame they've felt like they had to do it. This is going to get much worse in the coming days. Btw this is great reporting. A big fight between the English and Welsh against the Russians right now. You can clearly see Lille's (60 km inland) famous harbour in the background :facepalm:

Are you back there yet CJ? if so keep you wits about you mate, these Russians look like heavy hitters

They're nowhere to be seen in that video. The Russians only seem to fancy it when it's 5 on 1 or there's someone on the deck they can kick in the head.
Cowards.

It's like the chavs in town.
What I don't get is the Russians train hard, but they still want to whack somebody on the back of the head.
You would think they would be able to do it one on one

I am not sure how this all works but surely the Russians are beating up the reserve team as most of England's top men have banning orders.

Like many have said, the Russians are about 25 years too late. They're beating up average Joe English fan, who have probably had 1 too many lagers.

Yeah I saw that. It's like the British media can't wait to blame our own fans.
Then there was a Russian player blaming English fans too. Have these cunts not been watching the footage?

They would love us to get kicked out, it would fill the news schedules for a week.

While this is certainly not a laughing situation by any means, I actually chuffed up my coffee laughing when I read this post.

We're back out there later until next Tuesday. Heading back out on the Thursday until we're out.

Exactly how do you train to be a Hooligan? Do they have evening classes in Russia? Can you get an A-level in Hooliganism?

You don't get an A Star, you get an A Death Star.
Then to celebrate they all go out clubbing.
