I hope not! Just more media crap looking for something that isn't there. You have two groups of fans with double the number of swedes. A few from each set of fans threw a couple of plastic cups at each other. It's not even handbags. A Joey Barton event it ain't.
There will always be a few p***** who want a fight with anyone, however nice they are ( and that's 99% of the Swedish fans I've met). Next Tuesday will be where they get their wish if they really are looking for trouble.
Just surprised it's against the Swedish fans, not noted for headbangers. If they do go for it I hope the police there hammer them...
It's a straight one for me ... SAAB V VAUXHALL and I hope the best cars on the road pre 2002 get their revenge over those ASTRAs
Mate, I went to Sweden when we played them in Stockholm in 98 and there was major disorder. Very embarrassing for me as I was visiting a Swedish mate while I was there. Truth is a twat will fight with anyone after a few beers. And we've got our fair share of twats who follow the English side abroad ( though luckily it seems there are less than before)
You were singing a different tune the other night Ninesy! I'm glad you and Staines have come round to see this frenzied media attempt to blow everything out of all proportion for what it is.
Swords, are you trying to be pedantic again ? Where did I ever say I believe the media lies ? All my opinions and musings about hooliganism in Poland and Ukraine and the suitability of having the tournament in those countries are souly from my own experiences
I've no doubt that is the case Staines mate. Although I do remember you roaring and screaming the second SSN reported a wooden chair was thrown outside boozer in Poznan. Nines also found himself swept up in the furore and was bouncing up and down from thread to thread like a Monkey after being given an electric shock. Don't try and re-write whats gone on since this Tournament has started Staines because I'm sorry, I won' have it.
Re read what I put Swords and then come back to me with a better wind up. I reported the major violence in Warsaw( the Poznan post was much later to emphasise the tournament hadn't been trouble free as some had suggested) Your revisionist ramblings are sometimes a wonder to hear but a bit poor when the truth is there in writing
Its clear you have much experience with regard to Soccer in these Countries Staines. You have valuable input for this particular topic. I do however find it impossible to reconcile what should have been calm and measured comment with what was actually an attempt to stir up condemnation and ill-feeling towards the host Nations before a ball was even kicked. You are not the main culprit it must be said. Sooper's litany of abuse was a wonder to behold and COL's little-Englander attacks on Johnny Foreigner were as depressing as they were predictable. Nines gave it loads until it was reported England fans were causing trouble then all of a sudden it was the Media that was telling lies. Of course there were many more, far too many unfortunately. Its a sad indictment of where we are when we blunder and fumble to remove the spec from our brothers eye whilst simultaneously walk around shoulders back and chest puffed out with a log sticking out of our own.
Feel you may be going a little over the top here, Swords. Sooper's pretty damning above about English knuckledraggers and hopes the police hammer them. Col reserves most of his Johnny Foreigner criticism for Norwich (which in case you hadn't noticed, he f*cking hates!)
Swords you truly are a man after my own heart, but you are gonna have to try a lot harder to get a bite out of me tonight. When you've read all the posts from me, nines and the others then have another go (though I might not be able to reply to it 'cos Mrs Staines is on late shift tonight and I've got to put all the little Staines' to bed) And the 'soccer' bit was a nice try too
Maybe so. But when people have been found to be spreading falsehoods, its important they own up. Staines appears reluctant to do so. It remains to be seen what the others will do.
Post my 'falsehoods' please Swords, I may have opinions you disagree with but don't call me a liar unless you have proof...
