Same here - my brother was supporting Denmark because of the disgusting behaviour of some of the English fans

That's terrible! Especially that it involves a family with a child. Why would anyone do that?


My husband was driving via Lordship Lane that night and there was a big group of fans on the roundabout and running around stopping the traffic. I can understand the disturbance to the traffic, but never any kind of violence. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Some can't take their drink very well - Rye Lane was just singing its coming home and a lot of cars beeping - didn't see any trouble.

Sadly there were assaults in the stadium and on the way home for quite a few Denmark fans. I hope security will be better for the final, given some of the idiots who support England.

Hope they start a fundraiser in the same way as for the little German girl, she's donating it to Unicef. Kids acting better than adults..

No excuse. In vino veritas. Drink brings out the truths of the person. They?re bigoted racists.

I hope the family are all okay and what a terrible thing to have happened.

😱 "Boris made me drink and act like a total twonk" claimed a football fan.

That's a bit of a random association edcam especially as football thugs have been around almost as long as football has been played, so I suspect it was spured on by drink and a lack of emotional intelligence!

Nothing to do with atmosphere as far as I can see. Just a fundamental lack of respect for others and no self-control. What a horrible situation for that family.

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
