Stapes Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 England and Russia threatened with disqualification if the violence continues. Think that places the blame at the door of some England fans, just as much as the Russians (not in the stadium) despite attempts all over social media to downplay their role in the trouble. Let's see if UEFA have the courage of their convictions if it comes to that. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/euros-disqualification-threat-violence-142729275.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is worse than folk being killed which was sad and maybe i should have posted differently.I meant it was the worst vioence seen at euro championships and world cup games and there has been plenty of that over the years.

I asked why they hadnt congratulated Wales. 'whats that got to do with it?' was reply. I have said on here many times that some of our (gers) support are an embarrasment and I used to get in to some bother (not fisticuffs) at the time of the england top trend. Eventually realised it wasnt worth it as I could never change their set minds. Still an emabarrasment though I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shunkyboy and the fluffer Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 England V's Russia played in Marsielle was never going to go down well. Russian fans and locals look main instigators from what has been seen but that makes pretty crap headlines so England fans taking a lot of the rap in the press. It is true that you reap what you sow rightly or wrongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy now. The decrepit stadium at Heysel played as much a part to the number of fatalities as the hooliganism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone have died if the Liverpool fans not charged the Juventus fans? The state of the stadium was a contributory factor but the deaths were caused by hooliganism.

They suggest that 39 folk died at Heysel in hand to hand combat like we've seen in Marseille. A wall collapsed at Heysel, did the hooligans construct the stadium, deliberately weaken the wall or choose to host the European Final there?

HIGHTOWER 1314 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Heysel was a shambolic stadium,juventus fans were in a part of the stadium that they werent meant to be,uefa organised the game.If last nights game had been played in a stadium like heysel then there would have been deaths thats for sure.Anyway this thread is about england fans not liverpool.
