If you get a chance listen to the two callers to Stephen Nolan's show Saturday night.

Starts at 1:46 in. English fans in Danish section for Denmark game. Awful, awful behaviour - second caller alleges that English "fan" threatened her 9 year old daughter. Makes me so ashamed.

'The national footballing police lead has criticised the ?the violent and frightening behaviour of a sizeable minority? after forces across the country dealt with a record number of football-related incidents following last night?s Euro 2020 final.'

Well it's not a few louts then, far many. Better discussion on the zero tolerance thread, but think it is worth adding that as a nation we encourage excess drinking. I should know, I was p.ssed for much of my late teens and twenties. Not big or clever, but despite numerous embarrassing incidents, I never got into any situations like we saw on Sunday.

But i will pick up on one thing....Football is not a boisterous sport at all. It's actually a rather dull, sedate sport....89 minutes of passing to each other for 1min of actually shots on goal/action....its no wonder you have to be rip-roaring drunk to get through it.

I am a Rugby fan, but on the chat, you're not even close mate...we discuss HELI-Skiing...very different from a normal ski trip....much more exclusive...not a pleb in sight.


Also...it's spelt 'you're'

Actually one of my favourite English rugby players/political commentators seems to have gone missing on twitter - hope he's back soon as I like his posts :)

Yes - suspect a short ban on posting for something he said about a tory activist (I maybe wrong) :)


Hope to hear more commentating from him too.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
