"Leeds supporters spilled onto the pitch from one side and Frankfurt supporters came on and started fighting," he said. "Riot police got involved and separated everyone fairly quickly, but not before punches were thrown and before people picked up fairly minor but still quite nasty injuries."

From what I've read it seems Leeds weren't in the wrong and that the Frankfurt fans turned up in balaclavas. Then again, it's Leeds, so hang them all.
I seem to recall a certain match against a Chinese team that went a similar way for us though that time it was the players!
One of the four Scum fans getting 5 yr bans from football matches today for pushing a black man off a stationary train on the Paris Metro was a 51 year old director of a Human Rights forum. It beggar's belief...
okay, football violence is bad. However, the guy in the 3rd picture down, on the extreme left, sporting ghastly long black shorts with 'rasta' stripes and some kind of terrifying gimp mask balaclava really does deserve a whopping kicking.
Same bloke. Retired as a cop and went into human rights, but must have taken weekends and evenings off...
Presumably the Frankfurt 'fans' are the young athletic ones and the Leeds Massive are the porky middle aged blokes?
Almost definitely. They obviously need the exercise but honestly....I don't know how they find the energy.
It never ceases to amaze me how pathetic these imbeciles really are! I wish sometimes that the police would round them up, form a square around them and just let them beat the **** out of each other. If any of them bottle it and try to break out of the square the police should then give them liberal doses of the black asprin* and chuck them back in. Give them an hour, chuck in some pepper spray for good measure and then let their guard dogs have a little play with them. Too harsh?! ...............Well, I am a bit of a leftie so dont want to go overboard. * jack boots usually worn by riot police.
The Leeds guy in the 3rd photo, smiling, puffing his chest out like a peacock, is almost goading the young punk to give it his best shot with the drop kick. I wonder how things will go in Norway?
Perhaps he felt it was his right to do what he wants. Oh come on. If there was nothing between your ears and everyone could see that, wouldn't you be tempted to cover it up?
