State of 'fans' during International tournaments

Quite easy to find these clowns on socials5

I was happy seeing a lot of them getting a good slap by the genuine paying customers once they breached security and made it onto the concourse. Imagine paying thousands for a ticket only to have 'people that were desperate not to miss the game' worming their way in.

Do you really think the fans sending racial abuse to those players are black?
The problem comes that usually the racism in this country is swept under a rug time and time again until the next major event. The problem is never dealt with and then people can't understand why footballers still feel the need to take the knee.0 -

First qualifier in Hungary coming up though so maybe we will see a new crowd of travelling England fan"Families of England stars were left terrified and forced to run from ticketless hooligans forcing their way into Wembley.
Thugs threatened, abused and refused to move from their seats in the family section inside the stadium with several players reporting their loved ones and friends were caught up in shocking scenes.
Italy boss Roberto Mancini’s own son Andrea was also left without a seat and was forced to watch the first half while sitting on the steps before stewards were able to calm things down.
Andrea Mancini said: “There was a mess with ticketless fans and my seat had been taken, so I had to watch the first half sitting in the stadium’s steps. I found another place in the second half. Perhaps it brought good luck.”"
"The family section proved to be one of the hotspots because the guests had been entertained at the nearby Hilton Hotel, walked across with less than an hour to kick off only to find their seats had been taken.
The family of one squad member asked two fans to leave their seats and were met with “abuse, threats and shocking language” as they steadfastly refused.
Stewards were too afraid to intervene and had to do it in stages, largely moving in when the thugs went to the toilet or left their seats at half time."
Sorry mate but hope him and anyone else that broke into the Stadium are banned for life.
What chance have we got when people like you are encouraging it22 -
So he committed a crime in an organised way that involved research - that makes it alright then.This thread is absolutely staggering.22

I could be really lucky but I haven't seen anything but support for the players who missed their penalties on social media.
I'm glad thats a reflection of who I chose to be friends with but a really quick trawl of twitter and the racial abuse is there to be seen. What I also clocked was no shortage of people calling it out and in the case of Jamie East going a bit Colombo and tracking people down like that moron estate agent
At least the crowd making a mess in trafalgar Square were fairly racially diverse

@sunbury-addick you’re the perfect fit to step in as that ‘comedian’s’ agent! I can see the tour promo now: “yes I’m a racist but I plan my material carefully “0

I always used to give whoever was the England keeper a short applause when David James, Robinson, Seaman, Green etc assumed their position in front of the covered end goal. David James always reciprocated from memory, dont remember any of the others doing so. Rob Green might have had songs sung at him about letting his country down in hindsight but he was at QPR at the time and it was years after he made 1 mistake
Club football is tribal so I wouldn't expect a rapturous loving applause throughout the game and its easier to show appreciation for keepers1 -
It has always been this way. Rise above it. Social media gives them a profile that wasnt before. Ignore.

@sunbury-addick Your close relative may or may not be a decent lad, but can you honestly not see why your post has got people's backs up??
There are people on this thread who paid a hell of a lot of money for a ticket & you're on here bragging about your relative breaking in for free??
Nice lad or not, that is shitty behaviour & your choice to brag about it is, to put it nicely, ill advised23 -
stop_shouting said:se9addick said:ct_addick said:In the USA it's illegal to drink in public...... out in the open while walking around streets and really only allowed in pubs restaurants and bars....That might be something to consider....and yes I know the USA has ridiculous gun lawsSomeone else mentioned overserving. Bars here are really careful about that as they, as a business, and the bartender asan individual, can be held legally responsible if a drunk is involved in an accident. I see people getting refused service all the time.Stop the drinking in public areas would be a start. If people have to drink in pubs you can get two mitigating factors - price, and making pubs responsible for their customers conduct.1

I do however believe that the Euro's will have ignited the passion for the national team and we'll surely see an increase in memberships. First 2 away games in September aren't for the faint hearted though, Hungary and Poland away.

from the england fans forum;
"I was at the euro final yesterday
It took me nearly an hour to get in due to having issues with getting my ticket activated .
Once I had found my seat I was informed from that there were 5 young lads lads in the seats next to who were bragging amounts themselfs that they had no tickets where a guy with his 2 kids who were supposed to be sat next to met had to watch the game by standing up on the steps .I paid nearly 300 quid for My ticket as been following england fro over 20 years.
Explained my situation to the stewards who replied not my problem .
I was late getting back to my seat after half time as was pushed into the barrier and kneed in my back by a thug as I got in his way again no support from the stewards had to get back to my seat on my own"
"Felt embarrassed to be English yesterday. Came out of Wembley Park station just before 6pm and looked down upon a scene I'd never seen before, a packed Wembley Way, with people coming back and forth. Getting off the platform was bad enough, that was poorly managed, people getting stuck there as there was no one way system.
Wembley Way, full of people wanting to soak up the atmosphere if they didn't have a ticket, which under normal circumstances I'd have no issue with, but then it quickly became apparent, there was a feeling in the air, the smashed glass all over the floor was disgraceful, clearly people had just been smashing for the 'fun' of it.
Previous games, as a group, we'd stopped for a can from one of the shops, to take in the atmosphere, we quickly knocked that on the head with view to having one inside and getting through the checkpoints, which as everyone has previously said was a disaster. In hindsight, as many have said, Wembley way should only have been for ticket holders only, much like previous overseas tournaments, a ring of steel policed correctly - if only.
Outside the ground, we saw people climbing over the walls at the west end of the ground, some were getting through, others pushed back by stewards, only to try their luck again. Just as I approached my gate, a youth, charged at the turn style that a woman was just about to enter, he literally squeezed in behind her and rushed through, as I said to the steward who was there, did you not see him there, he shrugged. I then got through, where I'm told to empty my pockets just as someone else rushes through, we both look at the runner, security then asks me if I have anything in my other pockets - farcical.
I didn't witness the storming of the gate, but I was near it, and saw a few fly past, knocking people over and beer in the air, one knuckle-dragger ran into the toilets followed by security and was dragged out. I witnessed a few distressed children with equally distressed parents, I was just glad that my daughter has expressed no interest in going, I felt on edge there last night and the last thing I'd want to be doing was looking after her in a powder-keg like Wembley.
I always thought that we had the capabiitys to host a large tournament, what with the stadiums across the country and infrastructure between them all (when it works), but it's clear we don't have the know-how to police it, or the people to appreciate it and as much as I enjoy a tournament, I think I prefer a couple of days in a random European city where 3 points contributes to us getting to a tournament."

I know the plural of anecdote is not data but we effectively have a case study there of why so many England fans are complete twats.
The people they should be looking up to applaud them for it...9 -
Any of the idiots who get caught breaking in to the ground or smashing up things outside,will get a slap on the wrists,and then give it large to all their mates.Answer,a nice portion of porridge,see how quick they do it again.0
