Donny lad beaten up by Russians

[PDX_Rover]

The lad in the red top is from hexthorpe, he's leeds. Must be nearly 50 years old and having a pop at mma fighters from Russia/Serbia!! Only going to end one way that..... Could of been much much worse.

If he's Leeds it explains a lot!

Now if there was a bin nearby he'd win hands down.

I'd find it sickening if it was innocent people getting caught up in it. He knew what he was doing and he took the risk.

This has nowt to do with football and do you know what, I would be too depressed if these idiots got us kicked out of the competition. It's embarrassing.

Sorry Baz, I still don't agree with you and these 'idiots' are only looking after themselves. If the Police won't protect them who will?

Are you telling me the blokes in that video were seeking police protection? Probably avoiding police just like their Russian counterparts.

So shouting abuse in the streets against the Russians is not aggravating the situation. They will turn UEFA against the England team whether they think they are doing nothing it's coming across that these so called supporters are causing problems.

Two things, most England songs are patriotic gobbledygook and aren't aimed at anybody in particular. You call it abuse, what evidence do you have to support your position?

Secondly, how can the England fans be held responsible for how the media misreport issues?

So singing
"We're England & Wales
We're England & Wales
f**k off Russia
We're England & Wales"
isn't aimed at anyone?

You have a strong enough case to argue without gilding the lily.

[Chris Black come back]

Equally BST, you cite one chant that has been doing the rounds on Twitter. How many times and in what circumstances was that actually used? Maybe widespread, maybe isolated. Sat in UK we don't know.

A bigger issue but Twitter will probably die soon as it just amplifies the mostly ill-informed views of idiots.

There are clearly a decent number of wazaks over in France btw. That much is clear.

The video by Stan Collymore  (who is a bell end admittedly) doesn't show small groups of England Fans it shows hundreds of them actively looking for the Russians. It also shows England Fans knocking wing mirrors off cars and even treats us to a nazi salute by one pleasant individual.
Now I'm not blind enough to know that the media love to paint the average football fan as a lager swigging, pot bellied, tattoo laden thug and for the majority it's far from that. However for the England Fans and the FSF to pretty much claim that the butter hasn't melted in their gobs over this whole affair is quite unbelievable. You don't need to be there to watch the behaviour of these people, they don't particularly look scared until they finally get caught up with by the Russians.

... and the Chant "eff off Russia we're England and Wales" will be forgotten later today when the mindless minorities from each sides get on opposing sides again !
