Anyone see the Hooligan programme on Sky the other night??

[skel1983]

I think it was on Sky one, it was going on about the Polsih supporters who are going to ruin the World Cup, with there antics, i couldn't stop laughing at the so called "ARMY" who were an average age of about 17 and average weigh of about 140 lbs!!!

They were interviewing some little spotty cunt's about there plans to invade Germany in June, and there aims were firstly kick the fuck out of the Germans in the Group stages, then hopefully meet England in the last 16, the interviewer asked these guys why they want to pick a fight with English supporters and there answers were " They always think they are the tough ones, we will show them who's tough!!"

On a serious note does anyone think there will be serious trouble??

It's amazing the way Fifa bark on about any trouble from Enghlish hooligans and there will be trouble for there country etc etc, but English football has to be one of the safest places in the world to watch Football, it's funny how the media and UEFA and FIFA like to ignore countries that have real problems with Hooligans such as Poland, apparently there has been over 70 stab victims alone from one club in Poland in the last year, and the average gate is less than 2000 per game!!! The policing they were showing at the games was crazy it looked like there was nearly one Police officer to every fan.

yeah but when England go abroad there the worst for causing trouble, the police in Germany should baton
charge any set of fans that start causing shit and not let them ruin it for the genuine fans

The Polish fans were FAST AND DANGER, and will only react in the world cup if people throw fruit at their helmets, this IS BAD DAY for people.

As soon as any fighting starts,the police should warn the hooligans that if they dont stop they will be shot.

If any continue,just shoot a few and I guaranty they will then stop .Problem solved.

Not always the case mate
Our reputation proceeds us BIG TIME (granted) but in World Cup 98 the french police were dressing up in jeans and an England shirt (groups of 10/15) and beating the sh*t out of Tunisian fans then running off and changing back into their uniforms.
The end result was thousands of Tunisians severly p*ssed off at the fact the "English" had carried out an unprovoked beating hospitalising some of the North African fans which of course led to the running battles between fans
That is a fact

fair enough but there was alot of English there just to cause trouble as well, I remember been at a freindly at Lansdowne road which since i'd have no simpity for holigans, i do feel sorry for the genuine fans(which is most of them) that get caught up in all the riots
