Even worse there now :( my daughter is there too, plus she has to get from Park Royal to YVR tomorrow morning on public transport :fingerscrossed: so I'm hoping Georgia is open so she can get to the Canada line.

Re: Canucks lost - vancouver riots!
 

oh shoot! is she ok ? do yo know where she is?

Re: Canucks lost - vancouver riots!
 

Bad as English footy hooligans IMO

No excuse for that kind of behavior over a lost game.

Re: Canucks lost - vancouver riots!
 

Great... This is so funny. Firstly, its in Vancouver, secondly its over iced hockey, and third people want to move here for the kids.

This is the real Canada :thumbsup:

Re: Canucks lost - vancouver riots!
 

I know - I let my daughter go Dt as I was under the silly impression that Canajuns wouldnt do that . . . .

Looks like the goon squad has arrived. It's probably going to be mostly over in the next short while.

You can see the results of the facebook generation as everyone wants their picture on top of a burning car. Nice work geniuses, you've got your pictures on TV.

I assume iced hockey will be banned after this. So every cloud has a silver lining.

Re: Canucks lost - vancouver riots!
 

No such luck. It will be beer that's banned at any kind of event:frown:

Re: Canucks lost - vancouver riots!
 

In a church eating cake apparently!! :eek:

Re: Canucks lost - vancouver riots!
 

Mine just messaged me to say she's back at Park Royal at spending half an hour in a church! ... is yours OK?

Re: Canucks lost - vancouver riots!
 

Nah I didnt move here for the kids - BUT I was under the impression that it would be ok downtown - she went dt during the Limpix and all was fine . . . .

Not to worry, the Mayor has it sorted:

"Vancouver is a world-class city and it is embarrassing and shameful to see the type of violence and disorder we’ve seen tonight," Robertson told the Vancouver Sun newspaper.

Still world-class.

nice! Mine is at the CTV studios on Robson - having a whale of a time watching the news going out live ! they may be sleeping there!

Re: Canucks lost - vancouver riots!
 

Right, don't start having a dig at the so-called 'English footy hooligans' because compared to some of the French, Dutch, Italian & Turkish fans, and not to mention the animal like fans of certain South American teams, the English fans are positively angelic!
And so as bad a the reputation of English footy fans may have been....I don't ever recall cars being overturned and set on fire.

That said.....I completely agree with your second comment that it's no excuse for that kind of behavior over a lost game......whatever the sport. :thumbdown:
