Just watched panorama about the violence and racism in the host countries. I'm shocked by it. Disgusted, I feel embarrassed to be white. These thick ****s are idolising hitler and doing nazi salutes yet nazi ideology saw the poles and Ukrainians as lesser human beings barely a step up above the Jews. I think it's a disgrace that uefa must know what it's like over there yet still proceeded to play the tournament there..
Who knows, maybe they think giving them the job of preparing for hosting the 2nd biggest football event in the world would help them get rid of such disgusting ideologies. Similar to Qatar in the world cup, except in Qatar its due to different religion and a different set of beliefs.
Or maybe what they should have done is use the possibility of hosting the Euro's as a carrot to do something about it, rather than the rather fanciful notion that giving them the tournament will help 'cleanse' them. It won't, they will no doubt disgrace themseves and UEFA while they are it, not that Platini would care just so long as England are not hosting it again. I wait with interest when the hosts fans are abusing England's black players in our group game. THAT should be a stellar moment in the tournament for UEFA as it is only our ****ing fans that will bother to travel to the backward ****ehole to support both England and the competition in general. Should be fun that.
^^^^ I think that fans here should boycott the tournament. Why would black and Asian people go there to be abused by their racists ? It would happen not only in stadia but also outside in shopping malls, in the streets. Their society is fundamentally racist And UEFA should be condemned for giving Ukraine these championships. They could have used the holding of these championships as leverage for improvement in the behaviour of their fans.
And the police as they just ignored it all. It is bound to kick off over there part of me hopes if does and therefore makes a mockery of uefa.
I never understood why FIFA would even give it to the likes of POLAND, UKRAINE and RUSSIA of all countries. Ask Odemwengie, Samba and Roberto Carlos how much they like bananas being thrown at them. Disgrace.
England didn't even apply to host the Euros, and don't start the utterly laughable "Platini hates the English" nonsense please, it's embarrassing. Agree though that giving countries like that the right to host a tournament isn't right, when they're clearly not fit for purpose. Should be told to first get rid of the racism (or in Qatar's case, the homophobia and the umpteen ridiculous islam laws) and then maybe they could be given it, but not before.
I find the whole Nazism in Eastern Europe an irony in concept. Hitler and his gang didn't really think much of Slavs as a people.
FIFA and UEFA just care about who can offer the most money. You just need to look at Russia and Qatar for proof of that.
Please, don't be embarrassed ok? You shouldn't really care what I think of Platini and I know fine well we didn't apply you div. Good to see you agreed with, and are not embarrassed by, my otherwise 100% correct post. Thanks.
This. Pretty sure the 1995 Rugby WC was given to South Africa as a reward for ending apartheid, and a pretty damn effective carrot it was too. Tho' can't say I remember the 1936 Olympics being such a great cure for racism and Nazism... This is clearly just going to blow up in UEFA's face. How are they going to prevent the racism when the police clearly won't give two ****s? All that will happen is that come the end of the tournament, after booing for black players and assaults on black fans, UEFA will give Poland and Ukraine a five figure fine, which will barely dent the eight figure sums they will probably make from the tournament, and tell them that they won't get to host the tournament for another few decades. Which they wouldn't do anyway.
You've all been sucked in. Sure Poland and Ukraine has its problems but they are grossly sensationalised by the media who seem to takes holier than thou attitude. Believe me there are places in the West (and I include USA) where you wouldn't dare go to if you are of a particular skin colour. Go to Bradford, Oldham were its practically apartheid or parts of Surrey/Yorkshire which are extremely racist. The violence wasn't the most frightening part of it, the most shocking part was the ignorance displayed by the Ukranian and Police authorities but lets face it, they are just as racist if not Moreso than the Hooligans. In South Africa we were supposed to be raped and murdered, same will be said for Brazil. In Germany we were told we'd be targetted by German fans and that there would be zero tolerance policing. It's just a smear campaign FFS
I don't agree.. These ultras were training people in combat using knives like a paramilitary.. The racism in the stadiums was not a small element it was like the equivalent of the entire stretford end doing nazi salutes.. The head of the ultras said they would be seeking out opposing fans.. Prior tothe world cup they weren't interviewing black folk saying they were looking forward to raping our women and such like or running boot camps on how to rape and car jack people.. That was standard travel advice when going to SA. I don't think they have over sensationalised this as it was most of the stadiums taking part in what was going on.. It just annoyed me that we as a country went to war to end nazism and help the poles and now they are using nazi ideology.. Thick ****s.. As to the police over there who just stood by and watched some Indian students get the **** kicked out of them and then didn't escort them to safety I found disgusting..
What makes you think I care? It's just that I'd be a millionaire if I got £1 for every numpty saying the same rubbish, which is based on sod all. If anything people who write such a thing are the ones who should be embarrassed. You're entitled to your opinion but sometimes you may want to keep it to yourself unless you want to come across as a complete tit? No offense of course. Don't have to like him but blaming a man for something he's not is another thing. And if you know England didn't apply then it didn't seem like that based on your post. That's all. And yes, your post is very correct and agreeable apart from that one piece of idiocy.
If you got that I thought we'd applied from my post then you must struggle to comprehend English. It was a throw away comment, I know fine well that I didn't come across as a tit. You on the other hand come across as a sanctimonious smart arse. No offence meant though of course.
I think it is disgraceful to be violent or use terrible salutes against anyone of another race, but I would like to raise a quick point on the program. What I saw was a load of racist bastards who "thought" they were hard. Seriously they were ****ing **** at fighting, what a joke, england fans have nothing to fear, get over there and knock **** out of the racist ****s
Dont worry. All the racists and ****s from Poland and the Ukraine will be in Britain soon so this will be a none issue. Anyone have any doubts the vast majority of Polish football extremists are now or have recently been living in the UK?
