agreed about the England players being overly dramatic about this but all the same, fucking whistles and jeers at the whistle for the best England tournament 90 minutes in two decades (injury time doesn't count), fuck off lads what are you thinking
i couldn't gaf about us going through(we almost certainly will go through, try as we might to fuck it up for ourselves) or about how far we go in the tournament, 3 entertaining performances and a group stage exit is 100000x more appealing rn than a snoozefest thru to the QF's, and that was an entertaining performance.
that was fun. never been able to say that about England in a tournament in my life, so far as i can recall. whistling them off after that. i hope the marseille riot police kick yr fckin heads in

Caught the last twenty minutes. Genuinely amazed Russia got anything out of this but credit to Slutsky for shaping them into something resembling a team again.

lol i was teasing really LBI, do not use twitter and no inclination to start, England fans abroad are always the worst and i would never try to defend that shit.
but on this particular occasion it does seem like they may have been more sinned against than sinning? no police in a stadium w/ unsegregated fan groups does seem a little wtf given the heightened security measures that have supposedly been put in place

Reports and video. After letting off smoke bombs, Russian fans charged on England fans at full time.

Seems like some serious complacency from the hosts here, after all the shit that kicked off earlier there is no segregation?
― calzino, Saturday, 11 June 2016 21:20 (eight years ago) link
Rooney, Dier and Lallana played great, btw.
― painfully alive in a drugged and dying culture (DavidM), Saturday, 11 June 2016 21:21 (eight years ago) link
Yeah idk WD, Russia's fans tonight at least seem just as worse.
It just annoys me there's no mention of British fans destroying Marseille on here whatsoever. But whatevs.

Kicking off in Nice between some NI and Poland fans according to twitter reports.
― ailsa, Saturday, 11 June 2016 22:05 (eight years ago) link
Yep. England / Russia and Poland / NI are probably the two worst ties of the first stage for potential fan violence so it might calm down after this weekend.

"the best England tournament 90 minutes in two decades"
Second half was pretty drab fwiw.

Is Poland/NI a Catholic v Proddie thing or is there another reason?
― a goon shaped fule (onimo), Saturday, 11 June 2016 22:20 (eight years ago) link
Xpost Yeah most def, had been drinking and regretted that as soon as i posted it.
Still, it was much better than usual, and I maintain that if we do that twice more and don't get out the group that'd be preferable to blagging our way to the latter stages the way we have for the past x # of tournaments
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 11 June 2016 22:23 (eight years ago) link
Reading now that NI/Poland isn't them fighting each other but both sets of fans being set upon by locals

I was actually living in London during Euro '96 and can recall getting a late bus to Plumstead from work and witnessing the post Germany defeat kristallnacht that seemed to have occurred everywhere. Football hooligans are such grim beasts. I used to meet some great people travelling away, but also some of the worst people ever as well.
― calzino, Saturday, 11 June 2016 23:36 (eight years ago) link
Obviously got hugely carried away last night ito praising the England performance as best in decades or w/e, touch of the sun perhaps, but I have nevertheless been genuinely amazed at the amount of criticism I'm seeing leveled at Hodgson and some of the players this morning - a mess, tactically inept, a demoralising start to a tournament etc.
have these cunts not watched England play at a major tournament in the past 12 years? have they forgotten the 0-0 draw with Algeria? 1-1 USA? 1-0 win scraped against Ukraine in 2012? the 0-0 and penalty exit against Italy? so we were naive last night and we didn't put away our chances against obviously vulnerable opposition. so fucking what really? what's that set against a decade or more of uninterrupted tournament tedium? constant fuckin tedium.
how long have these guys been saying hang the results, all we want is for an England team to turn up at a major tournament and just show a bit of passion, a bit of enterprise, just try to actually play some attacking football? some cunts will never be fucking happy.
