dont go to the Ukraine.
At least it is other fans now, got tiring hearing how bad Ingurland fans were.
It's just a game, football fans need to seriously chill out and look at how obsessed with people they don't know, will probably never meet, have no connection with the teams they are playing for (a lot of the time) and have no positive impact on society. I'm convinced that people who get that worked up over a game of football need to be sectioned
I think some of them just like a scrap and it has little to do with the actual game.

Reported by the Mirror: Around 300 hooded hooligans are said to have attacked the fans in a coffee shop in the Ukranian capital ahead of the tomorrow's match.

300 sounds more than just a gang.

300 and knives involved - appears to be organised crime.



As I said in an earlier question:

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1272033.html

all professional football matches should be played behind closed doors. The idea that it acceptable for tens of thousands of people to roam all over the place and cause mayhem for the locals in a bit outdated. There are plenty of "platforms" on which to carry this, the most tedious of games, and it should be consigned to Channel 94 on Mr Murdoch's Sky system.

Thank you New Judge - that is one suggestion FIFA will hopefully consider.;-)

Everyone's friend, Mr Murdoch, would no doubt welcome that.
All clubs should be licensed, and any club where there is trouble should have their licence removed.

Either that or ban football altogether.
Ban football altogether, I'd definitely second that motion!!
/Either that or ban football altogether. /

You like a bit of 'banning' don't you aog?

What is it about imposing your values on other people by some sort of State repression that turns you on so much?

Ban?

Now it's getting silly.
"All clubs should be licensed, and any club where there is trouble should have their licence removed."

Ok, but this is the national teams - England & Ukraine - would/could you remove the licence of a national team.....? Seems like a good way to get an opponent spuriously removed from a competition, create a fracas and Yure's your uncle.

sir.prize, reports I read said 30...not 300.
Just let the police machine gun a few dozen, problem solved.
Well, thank God this didn't happen at the Notting Hill Carnival or Gay Pride eh?

Because Lord only knows what conclusions would be drawn...
It did say 300 on the news this morning.
Attacking in such large numbers...

Chickens Kiev?

Octavius - apparently reports do differ. I was quoting from here

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/live-updates-england-fans-injured-2261609

Three England football fans have been injured after they were set upon by a gang of knife-wielding thugs Ukranian thugs ahead of the crunch World Cup qualifier in Kiev.

Around 300 hooded hooligans are said to have attacked the fans in a coffee shop in the Ukranian capital ahead of the tomorrow's match.


"You like a bit of 'banning' don't you aog? "

Not onlyaog, Zeuhl. Unsurprisingly I do as well.

I have a friend who is unfortunate enough to live near to a top division football ground. Every two weeks for nine months a year he either has to go out for the day or is effectively confined to barracks for the best part of six hours. It is absolutely outrageous that vast hoardes of people, some well behaved but many not, should be encouraged to descend on a small area for their entertainment. The pubs are off limits, many of the streets are off limits, locals are herded into small areas, being unable to move freely about to do their business, the railway station is a no-go area, vehicles are "parked" everywhere and anywhere the owner sees fit to dump them, anything up to three miles from the ground. And no, the stadium was not there when he moved in.

Anything that relieves local residents all over the country of this ridiculous nonsense every other week can only be applauded.
/I have a friend who is unfortunate enough to live near to a top division football ground./

So NJ....

I take it the football ground wasn't there when your friend bought the house?

Did they not oppose it during the Planning Process?
sorry NJ

I see you clarified that point..

so is there a fault in the Planning Process?
