We are targets for the troublemakers this season because we're doing the business on the pitch to their horror. Long may it continue.
A hardcore group by the looks of it but lots of them. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...igans-go-on-the-rampage-in-central-Paris.html Hundreds of Chelsea football fans went on the rampage in central Paris on Wednesday, smashing up cafes and shops before the Champions League quarter final against Paris Saint-Germain. The worst of the violence was in Rue St Denis, a popular tourist street full of pubs and bars. Some 400 thugs could be seen making 'Seig Heil' salutes and chanting racist abuse before they started attacking PSG fans. "We’re trying to contain the violence but it’s spreading,’ said one officer on the scene, as riot units arrived on mass. Flares were let off, and the small, packed streets was soon filled with thick black smoke. ‘It’s terrifying – I just want to get out of here," said Sarah Avel, a 16-year-old French student. "We could hear the chanting all afternoon but we didn’t expect fighting." The fans had been drinking for most of the afternoon outside the Frog and Rosbif pub before they moved across the road to The Thistle. It was there that the fighting started, as some of the fans could be heard chanting English Defence League songs in front of black Parisians. A group of around 100 fans then ran down the Rue St Denis, towards the Seine river, smashing up anything in their path. Tables and chairs were destroyed outside the McBride’s Irish pub, and windows were put in. The outside of a clothes shop was also destroyed, while bottles were thrown at evening drinkers sitting in cafes. Chelsea only have around 2000 allocated tickets for tonight’s Champions League quarter final, but many thousands of fans have come to Paris anyway. Earlier in the day there were police intelligence reports that some 300 hardcore Chelsea hooligans had entered France via Belgium to avoid detection.
Bizarrely there doesn't appear to be a single mention of it on the BBC website - it's as if it never happened?!?
What sort of action could Chelsea face Ban? Made to keep Torres? Probably a fine that to me and you would be like 10 p
EDL chants from the Chelsea fans It was all mind games from Jose. He told the chav fans to run amok so nobody would be talking about how **** his team are today.
The mirror did an article about hooliganism a few months ago - Chelsea don't come out too good! http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/football-hooliganism-rising-how-your-2355308 Every club has them and all the comments directed towards us are unfounded. Hope nobody was badly hurt last night.
Sounds to me like it was organised over the dark net through a TOR connection. Pretty standard stuff to be honest, unfortunate but true.
it is organized, bit of a farce though how easily it is for people who are supposed to be banned from travelling get round it.
Can't have happened, if it had the fair minded voice of the UK, namely the BBC would have reported it just like they've always done regarding similar occurrences. #smokseandmirrors
Being banned doesn't stop you travelling!! There are plenty of ways around that issue, it's not even an issue if you know what you're doing
Thought players that were banned had to hand their passports in at a local police station? Or is that just international game bans?
i know there are plenty of ways round it, i just said its a farce people who are supposed to be banned from travelling for footie get round it.
