At last...by the BBC!.... The far-right leader of the Russian football supporters' association is being thrown out of France following violence at the England-Russia Euro 2016 match in Marseille. Alexander Shprygin is among 20 Russian fans being deported (and who backs his football movement none other than President Vladimir Putin). They were detained on Tuesday while travelling from Marseille to Lille to watch Russia face Slovakia. Three other detained Russian fans have been jailed for up to two years over the violence in Marseille. They are also banned from re-entering France for two years. The men received 12, 18 and 24 months in prison. Separately, Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said he was investigating an attack on two England fans ahead of the 1-1 draw with Russia as attempted murder. French police blamed 150 "well-trained" Russian hooligans for the violence. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36546183 and in other more shocking news, read this...... http://en.as.com/en/2016/06/16/football/1466109345_892811.html
After events in France maybe we should boycott 2018...but the financial rewards will always come before any individuals safety #justsaying
I have just heard from our regional news that are group of Spanish fans have been hospitalized in Cologne as a result of being attacked by Russians returning from France. Completely unprovoked it appears. The sooner we get these ****ing barbarians back in their hell hole of a country and take the next WC from them the better.
Looks like Croatia supporters are no angels. Expect big fine for throwing flares on pitch and warning.
