France need to step up

Thursday is going to be a huge battle field. The Russians will be in the same area as the English and Welsh. The Welsh & English always fight each other and with the Ruskies and local hooligans it is going to be one huge blood bath.

While I agree that the french authorities could do better it's not all their fault. I mean why can't people watch a match without the violence and hooliganism...

Same on those people...

I can see England and Russia both being thrown out to be honest.

I look forward to a German world cup in 2018!

I really hope that you're wrong, but I could see this happening.

My one hope is that England / Wales put any previous rivalries aside.

Russians are on a suspended disqualification, that's inside the ground only

They need our old bill over there, well versed in crowd control at football these days.

The French seem to have no effective strategy. It all seems a bit amateurish, and dare I say has echoes of our old bill's incompetence from the late 80s

Blaming the French authorities is an absolute nonsense. They have enough on their plate with the terrorist threats without the neandrathal English and Russian fans doing battle with each other.

Why is it that everybody gets the blame except the idiots that actually cause all the problems. If a football match needs military style policing to enable it to go ahead, then I suggest the game should not even be allowed to take place.

WTF is the world coming to, where a sporting event means virtual shutdown in the city it is being played in.

Bore off Sandy, regardless of what is going on amongst the fans there is no excuse for letting people into the stadium with fireworks and flares, both combustible and explosive devices which were easily brought in. And I wasn't even talking about the fans more the lack of adequate searches going on to people actually going into the stadium.

According to some, all English fans are supposed to allow anyone who has the desire, to kick the living crapola out of them and just stand there until such time that they are knocked senseless. They are not to run in case it makes them appear to be the aggressors nor are they expected to defend themselves vocally or otherwise. When the police do arrive and start up the bombardment of water cannon, tear gas and rubber bullets, remain as still as possible and ask your mates or family, however young, to do the same as any attempt to protect them will be met with force.

There are incidents of French police allwoing things to kick off. One example was they spotted a group of Russians marching along towards a bar with English fans. So they positioned their water cannon and squads right outside in the bar's direction. English fans were drinking there in peace and left scratching their heads as to why the police were fixed on them. Then along came the Russians who stormed the bar and all hell broke out. The French police then responded

Sandy's right in that we are entitled to expect football fans to behave themselves without the need for an armoured police presence.
Paxton Sage is also right though, because we know thugs are out there to cause trouble. So just how did fans get fireworks and flares into the ground undetected? They could just as easily have been bombs. Stop and search everyone. It happens at English football grounds every week up and down the country. It doesn't have to be police carrying out the searches. Stewards do it.
