    England fans: More than 100 arrests made by police over two days in Amsterdam.
    I do sometimes wonder if part of the problem is as a result of overreaction by police. #nothingchanges

    Graqnt Hanley is out of Scotlands next match. Is it minor injury? Hopefully, anyway.

    That could be bad news. Can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a few months to overcome I believe.

    I googled it and it says it may be cured by complete rest for a few weeks. :(

    So the bond scheme has been a success, at least as far as in getting the funds in. Hopefully Webber, Farke and co will see to being spent wisely to future proof our self funding ways. I can't help but think that we will end up hamstringing ourselves if/next time we get promoted if we are going to pay it all back with a bonus, however with Webber maybe we will bounce back from the relegation better?

    Bah!

    Yes General, let's hope it can benefit the first team squad in years to come.

    I am in shock!

    RUSSIA!? THE LAND OF PEACE AND HOPE?!

    FFS... I am so close to just stop watching football. this kind of sh*te. all the time. Russia will still host the tournament. They could shoot a fan in the head on the live news, they would still host this farce.

    It's ok Putin will have a plausible denial about some escaped zoo animals or British spies in the crowd.

    Bah!

    And to be honest, nor do the fans.

    With Russia and Quatar, the only way things will change is if England fans don't travel (they rely on that because we spend so much more, and in such numbers, but also always follow the team.)

    Also, if TV views going drastically down. I am a football fan, World Cup and Euros are key things I look forward to. When the World Cup and Euros are on, would I not watch a single game? Out of protest? I don't think so. I would still watch I think. Because it's a major tournament, and it's football.

    That is how they get away with it, and why they aren't worried in any way.
