Woman beater Stan Collymore doing a great job covering the violence on social media

[-Talbot-]

The French police and authorities seem rather incompetent.

[anneasquith]

So it's the police who are at fault ?

[-Talbot-]

That's what the sky reporter said.

[anneasquith]

He did ?

Sky reporter
'Fans were chanting, singing, dancing getting quite rowdy and I think the French police had had enough. I personally didn't see any violence coming from that group of England fans but they were getting pretty rowdy. The French police decided to move in'

Who knows why the French police decided to charge at the England fans ... maybe they too have an agenda?

[-Talbot-]

Isn't rewind wonderful?

[anneasquith]

Maybe just maybe the police objected to glasses and bottles being chucked at them ?

[Baldric]

No sense of humour those CRS boys!

[anneasquith]

CRS boys ?

[-Talbot-]

Give it up Anne, your stirring thread has been busted.

Look I really hope Scotland will qualify for a competition soon, I'm sure within the next 10 ... 20 years they will do it (fingers crossed)

[Baldric]

The Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité (CRS) (English: Republican Security Companies) are the riot control forces and general reserve of the French National Police.

[anneasquith]

Carry on Talbot making excuses for football hooligans from all countries .

[-Talbot-]

Point me to the excuses I have made ....

//An England fan is in a coma after it's claimed he was attacked by a Russian 'Ultra' thug at the Euro 2016 tournament.
Stewart Gray, from Leicester, was reportedly hit on the back of the head in Marseilles on his way to watch England's opening match.
It's claimed his assailant was wielding a hammer or a metal bar.//

This should cheer anneas up
