Euro 2016

[One Day]

I just don't get it. Never have. I played footy at primary school and secondary. School teams both times. I played seven a side until a few years ago when i started getting sick of all the screaming, the abuse and having to break up fights amongst the younger players in particular.
All the guys on my wife's side of the family are footy fans and decent guys but once their teams are playing they seem to lose quite a few iq points aswell as the ability to form sentences of more than a few words. It's a game! A game. Supposed to be fun and competitive. Where are the role models in football? Where's the honour gone?

It's more than a game!!!

To quote the great Bill Shankly "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

Well I'am proud to be British!
England is my team and if I was attacked I'd be proud to fight back.

Those scenes from last night were an absolute disgrace, so called England fans scrapping weren't even in the stadium while the match was on..."wasn't me, I didn't start it" is as naïve as it sounds.
When the Russians went crazy at the final whistle most of our fans walked away but outside was a different story 🙁

I listened to 5 live with Adrian Durham tonight at 7.00pm - he was there!
He told it as he saw it.

Adrian Durham is on TalkSport TJ

It was on the wireless anyway between the matches.
Usually think he is confrontational but he was strongly defensive of the majority of England fans and who were the instigators of the violence.
It was orchestrated by the Russians.
The majority of news reports are confirming this.

Well my mate was on ground level not in a commentary box and saw how it went off, believe what you want media bullshit again!!

There was similar scenes before the Germany Ukraine match videos are on you tube
No mention of that in the media ,

im off to France on Wednesday, got tickets for England V Wales and England V Slovakia, got to say im am not thinking ive made the worst judgement call of all time.......stuff ive seen on FB/Twitter makes me shudder, this is organised on a different level, Ultras from France and Russia are the main problems. Ive heard theres going to be about 500k English/Wales near Liile Weds onwards, im really dreading it.

anyway, hope to see you all on the other side......
