A few drunk loutish England fans let the side down on Lordship Lane

[ab29]

Except these people are hooligans, not fans.

It's going to rain soon - so the crazy stuff will calm down soon

[ab29]

What does the whether has do with it? People behaving like described above are hooligans, not fans.

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.

I passed through Trafalgar Square on Sunday at around 3 pm and the atmosphere was not pleasant. Overwhelmingly menacing and like a powder keg. I would never have watched the game around there.

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.

It wasn't just boisterous when I used to go to the North Bank of the Vetch Field

Maybe if you can't take it get out of the 1980s - oh it's gone.

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.

Now, Aussie Rules crossed with Gaelic football - THAT was a boisterous sport

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.
