Yeah as Term says, foreign fans are just as bad, it's just not us.

Apparently Ajax fans were causing a lot of trouble before the match last night, for example.

PSG did in Manchester too, but they didn't bully people

If people from different continents want to come to Europe then they need to respect the ways of us European people. If you don't like being pushed into a fountain then maybe you should have not come to Europe. What was he expecting?

Part of it I understand.
For many young men fighting is part of growing up, you are with your tribe, you go to battle with the opposition fans. It's wrong of course, but I understand it.
Same with vandalism, when young I got a catapult, my neighbour, the one who took me to the games, had a greenhouse, you can guess the rest.
But by fifteen or se I had grown out of that, when I got married (early twenties) I grew up and daft behaviour ended. Not that I joined the fighting, too scared of getting hurt.
But I cannot understand a grown man pushing an old man into the water. Lots of the behaviour is beyond my comprehension, it's not amusing, or daring. So I thus don't know the solution, ban them from the ground of course and take their passport off them for ten years is a start I suppose.

I don't understand how fans of our national team are regarded as best fans in the world, like the Irish, but Dutch club fans are horrible cuuunts abroad, like Feyenoord fans. And the England fans and club fans are both sets of cuuunts.

I think we have to establish whether the man was pushed into a fountain because he was Asian

or

a man washed pushed into a fountain who happened to be Asian.

Simply some immature idiots when drunk like to show off in front of their mates so they are labelled as fun and one of the lads, please like me. The problem with that is, everybody else labels them as idiots, and they don't stop there, the fans of the club they are supposed to be representing, get labelled along with them.

He was pushed into a fountain as he was perceived as weak. Do you think they would have pushed a 6'6 man mountain?

The g00n screeching at the top of his voice was just as embarrassing as the bloke who pushed

So it wasn't racially motivated.

The saddest reality in those videos was that nobody came to the poor helpless men's aid.

Everyone just stood there either laughing, or in shock.

If he pushed him because he was Chinese then it's racist.
If he pushed him because he thought it was funny and didn't give a monkeys what colour he was, then it's not.
Happily I can't see into his almost empty head, so don't know if it was or not.

Well yes, there’s a world of difference between an act committed down to stupidity, and one driven by racism. Though how racism has been brought into this is beyond me.....

Just watched it now - it was unpleasant but I think it was _fairly_ good natured / doing it for a "laugh" rather than abuse. I'm sure the victim didn't find it funny but it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.

Sometimes I see this kind of thing on a Friday night when there isn't even any football on.

Mental.

Because one is a racist incident, the other is not.

Stupid perhaps but not racist.

Well, put it this way. Would these morons try this to the natives in Russia, or Poland or UAE for example?
