Like in 98? On that occasion, "les flics" mostly waded in in support of the knife wielding North African locals. This time around I suspect their allegiances might lie elsewhere.
I suppose that one has the potential to kick off, if Ivan brings the numbers. The days when every country had a little firm who wanted to have a swing at the English must be over by now though surely? In 98 we played Tunisia in Marseille. Little mobs of French Arabs hunting in packs everywhere, the local cops letting them do it, only getting involved to baton charge the England fans when we had the temerity to fight back. A seriously ****ing scary few days.
Yeah, was there not a big fight on the beach? The North Africans are ****s and marseille is full of the ****ers, so is Nice to a lesser extent, so Northern Ireland v Poland could be tasty too
The men in black are ****s, they took a ****ing liberty down the paisley road west years ago, but we got the ****s back a few years later when they played the taigs
Got tickets for some games at Stade de France.... One for the knockout game, Winner of Group E and Runner up in Group D so decent... the other game is a MASSIVE game though so I'm willing to sell the ticket to the highest bidder.
I see ITV and BBC have asked for the England V Wales game to be rescheduled as it's supposed to be 2PM on a Thursday.
