should russia be kicked out of euros and be stripped of the world cup and band from playing in Internationals
 
I certainly think the decision to award Russia the World Cup needs to be revisited.
Can you imagine what President Trump might do if some US citizens get a less than warm welcome in Siberia?
 
I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought that perhaps not letting the English hooligans travel to France has left the normal England fans as sitting ducks.
 
they've been given a suspended ban now - so just need to kick off again in Lille
(and we might get out the group)

HAHA You have a point there but tbf I do think the Russians have picked out easy targets.
 
Out of the Euros... World Cup should NEVER have been given to them. If it goes ahead, UEFA will have blood on their hands. UEFA are too corrupt to stop it going ahead.
 
well said John
iv seen the pictures and for sure people will die at the hands of these scum bags who think they are ultras . they are just pack cowards who cant fight alone
iv seen no end of video clips where people that are lay out cold on the floor have been kicked and hit while they are down
 
They've (Russian 'Ultras') been saying, pretty openly, that they've been training for the Euros, with the intention of fighting England fans, for quite a long time.

Ross Kemp did a fucking documentary about it FFS

How no one saw this coming or took the right precautions is beyond me.
French authorities and police have to take a lot of the blame as well imo.

Where were the police in the stadium? I didn't see any!!
 
There is something hilarious about English people wanting to kick another country out of a football tournament for hooliganism.
 
Not really BB, not when the Russians have been (as said above) training and threatening and it's been on mainstream tv (Ross Kemp) and they have axes etc and their minister says well done, carry on.

We've, I believe, held back about 4000 known hoolies? One today was returned (guy from Tipton) and given a 5 year banning order.

Yes to events in previous tournaments but at least our authorities have tried (not always succeeded for sure) in quelling it.

 
Let the Russians have the world cup and boycott it. Empty stadiums m'lord, empty coffers m'lord. No self respecting Englishman would be seen dead in France so i've no sympathy for them! (battered english fans) :13: :17:
 
Don`t worry....the Russian Police will protect the innocent football loving English fans. :19:

All the old English hooligans ,who were the envy of the hooligan world ,have created a situation where all the proper football loving English fans are paying the price for their misdemeanours.
Best place to be is at home.Sad,but true.
I don`t think any foreign countries have really forgiven us for all the shit our hooligans have caused over the years.
 
If Russia end up getting kicked out of the Euros due to fan violence it will raise huge questions on whether Russia is a fit place to hold a World Cup. I think Russia could be a brilliant World Cup if they embrace it, but it looks like they are more intent on being violent idiots.

Slightly off topic but I also read this week that a tourist from the Netherlands was arrested and jailed in Qatar because she was raped and reported it to the police. Apparently it is illegal to have sex outside marriage even if it's against your will. What a disgusting place. Qatar should be banned from having any contact with the outside world if that's their attitude, but instead they have been awarded the greatest event on the planet - the World Cup. Just goes to show how fucked up Fifa really is.
 
Russia should be thrown out and their clubs barred from Eurorpean competition for a decade. And the same goes for England. Only way of getting the point across.
