Didn't see the Nazi scum kick the crap out of their OWN supporters just because they were Asian then? Or that the police literally left them to it and turned away? A disgrace, lets hope both countries are left financially screwed because of the lack of fans!

I'll take a guess, one more reason to hate soccer, football, a reason to riot, be stupidly drunk, etc...

Yep, nothing to do with football really - just an excuse for hate. It took me back to when I used to go to football matches in the 70's/80's and go on trains with skinheads. Dead scary!

No experience with that. I guess I've led a sheltered life.

Disgraceful that the teams have not called it off and the Governments said very little. It should be cancelled

You missed absolutely nothing, I can assure you (I'm sure you were too young in any event!

I wonder whether officials didn't do their homework and are now be panicking or whether it was just a cover-up. Either way, it should definately be cancelled.

well some people seem to think that it is all a press campaign against them...

I've travelled on inter city trains a few times in the past with West Ham's ICF mob. All they wanted was a fight with the opposing fans outside the grounds, usually pre-arranged fights.

i will give them their due though, they usually (both sides) waited till after the match.

One good thing nowadays, you can hardly be a racist and support any of our major teams in the UK, or the national team itself.

on the other hand it doesn't stop you playing for the European Champions though

Shevchenko is a knob, I watched the interview with him on the news, the guy is a cock. The fans were chanting Zeig Heil while saluting like a Nazi then others still were scream "Death to the Jewish Whores" and "Kill the Jews"!


What amazes me is that many English clubs were banned from European football for much less than what goes on in Poland, the Ukraine and lets face it, dozens of other European countries. The sport is a disgrace, world wide.

Innocent until proven guilty, although there must be something in it to have gotten this far. But there's racism and racism.

I know the place where he grew up, a real shithole place where the BNP regularly win lots of votes. In that environment every young kid will hear daft words on a daily basis, and what you hear as a kid sticks in your head somewhere.

Then in a moment of madness and anger, one of those daft words could pop out, without any meaning or malicious intent. Maybe that's what happened, and if it did everyone is making too much of it.

A Spanish van driver cut me up on a roundabout this morning and I called him a few racist names in the heat of the moment. If 50,000 people had been watching, I would probably be appearing in court as well.

No there is only racism and it's wrong - next time an idiot cuts you up call him an idiot don't resort to racist abuse - it is just plain wrong.

You never read the racist name thread we had running on here then?

nope
