Are trying to match them? Given thousands of our trouble makers were stopped from going. Think troublemaker wise we'll be under strength, meaning it will be pockets of fans just wanting have a good time being targeted. Very brave those to stand up to them but them. I'd give it legs like most of the England fans have been doing in the vids.
You only have to watch Youtube to see how crazy the Russian fans are. The English made the benchmark for Hooligism in the 70s and 80s and now everyone wants a piece of us to make a name for themselves. Im sure we still have plenty of handy lads out there the difference is our fans are probs too pished to fight!
The Russian Ultras are there purely for fighting though so they will be, they'll be organised, we're not, handy lads there or not. If we let our lads go it would be a proper war with organisation effort intention and it would be covert, not a bunch of lunatics attacking tourists and stealing their flags. Our main boys just won't be there. Hardly a fair contest. What would you have preferred marra? Letting our main boys go so they mar the tournament and let the country down? Or this which is a lot of innocents who just want a piss up, football and a roudy good time getting dragged in because of the lack hooligan numbers? Bad crack either, I wouldn't like to choose myself but I think I'd let the lads go. If we were organised the Russians wouldn't come looking like pack animals, it would be arranged and less in the public eye like it is week in week out in this country and many others which doesn't get reported.
We have to remmember There not there for football It's all about violence There is no football supporter amoung them If you go to the match and have fun afew pits and enjoy yourself before the game that's fine but I'm sure the genuine supporter will not be near the hoolagins
Genuine supporters will be near them because the Russian arseholes, as Bri. mentioned, are well organised, and they're deliberately targeting weaker/ordinary fans to make themselves look good . . . . they know that 'our lads' are not there and they are attacking innocents like the cowards that they obviously are
There's pockets of innocent fans being targeted and attacked man. Littrally chased through the streets. The Ultras are combing the streets looking for trouble, hunting in packs. Say a bunch of away fans emerge from round the back of the Tavern outside the Sol and they start attacking Sunderland fans. By your logic all those Sunderland fans are Hoolagans. Including you if your there. People have different ways of coming with attack, some will realiate some will retreat. But in the seconds before the Russian Ultras turned up they were just having fun with a few pints. Don't think some a realise how one sided this is. It's a massacre. England fans have been getting slaughtered by organisation and numbers.
It's going to be difficult for genuine England supporters To have a drink and enjoy themselves Before the match
Britain terrorised Europe and we just cannot shake off the historic tarnished reputation from those days. For the Russians being let loose in anywhere in Europe is heaven.
