Two fans jailed for 2 and 3 months.

What a disgrace and miss justice for those just trying to defend themselves against the thugs..

Nobody started trouble nor was it instigated until approached by French Russian and others..

Oh and noted that France didn't get a ban warning did they hmmmmm weird that.

Presumably as France is a modern civilised country they've had a fair trial and been found guilty of a crime. Without being present and seeing the prosecution and defence cases we have to aassume they were heard and found guilty correctly.

I think the real England fans in the stadium you know the ones the true football suporters have behaved brilliantly considering the violence against them. As for the thugs who just go there to cause trouble well I've no opinion on them. Op sorry you had to come home but you prob have made the rite desision. Xxx

I can assure you coming home was right.. England fans in the bars were loud and singing as we do.. no more than this.. odd d*unk but nothing to suspect trouble over.. and then boom attacked by the organised gangs..

Most were so well behaved and others were just trying to protect themselves.. no more no less..

So just a message to those that want to come here and comment .. unless you were there then please don't judge my OP.. you seen the news that's all.

It was atrocious to have that type of attack and then the police actually joined in..

So... at the time of trying to defend our good nation and bodies the police attacked too and there was no option..

Please feel free to go there at a time like that and say.. oh please don't hit me please don't attack us with knives..

You too will throw a bottle.

I've been in situations I've had to talk myself out of or love away from. Have never ended up jailed, stabbed nor have thrown bottles.

Granted there are some very violent and hostile people coking out of Russia. But I'm not going to feel sympathy for 2 found guilty of the same thing.

Riot police don't have time to establish who is innocent or not when they're right in the middle of a flashpoint. Restoring order is the primary concern and agitated England fans who might well have been defending themselves still need to be brought back under control.

What you didn't say, OP, is that three French nationals and one Austrian are also in court this week and two Russians have been expelled from France.

this..

there's a difference between defending oneself from organised attacks and throwing bottles at the police in any scenario will only end like this..

yes one could question the tactics of the police in how they handled it but many other's either got out of harms way or fought those who were attacking them..

the French were going to come down hard upon those they deemed to be culpable given the levels of violence..

interesting to hear the French interior minister admit what many out there have said that there are a large number of organised Russian hooligans who are only there to fight, lets hope for everyone's safety that they manage to stop any more attacks..

No I didn't fail to say... but its not up to me as a Brit to defend other nationalities.. why would I .. that's just wrong really.. this is about the English situation not other nations.. that's their choice to make their own defence.. So no didn't fail in any sense.

Wow. Racism and misogyny it just two sentences.

You must be quite the catch.

It should be an apostrophe not a comma in 'country's'.

Oh and it's 'know', not 'now'.

It's very difficult to comment without having been in that situation. But there are many reports from reliable sources that say many well behaved fans were attacked by armed organised gangs. Both local and Russian groups. If your cornered by a mob with iron bars what do you do? The French riot police tactic was to either do nothing or use tear gas and batons indiscriminately. Radio journalist gave an account of England fans singing and having a laugh when a large group of Russians gathered and started putting on balaclavas they pointed it out to police who did nothing and waited for them to attack then charged at both lots. Another journalist gave an account of Irish and polish fans singing together, swapping shirts wtc when a gang of locals cane to cause trouble, when an old polish guy pointed it out they threatened to gas him! Eventually they kettles the French fans for two hours. Very little of this in papers or on news. Anyone would think our media was unreliable, biased and working to an agenda.....

Please answer this straight and with truth..

You are having a drink.. singing looking forward to the game.. you turn round to see hooded guys running at you with metal bars..

what would you do ?????

Not throw bottles at the rozzers, for a start.

You seriously think its that easy to walk off.. do you actually know the force of the attack....

funny thing is some of us were going to games in this country in the 70's when violence was all part of the day out for some, it had nothing to do with the game or understanding the structures of it then and it still doesn't..

anyone who wasn't there will only have the view from friends out there, the media and the respected and credible sources who are saying that it was organised attacks by the Russians, pretty sure everyone is in agreement that such actions are wrong and people are right to defend themselves against that and attacks by others..

but if you throw bottles at the police and get caught your going to be done for it..

you don't have to know the offside rule or be a 'true fan' to work that one out..

Marseille has always been a violent port and city, its law enforcement and justice has been just as robust. If you go to the city that is the home of the French Foreign Legion, kick off and get caught, no matter the provocation, you can expect to be slapped down hard.

I wouldn't want to. In my opinion football attracts this sort of mindless thug mentality. If it's not the supporters (i appreciate it's the minority) it's the players themselves. Get the players to be role models and not louts who fight, rape, do drugs, speed and then get hit with a feather of the law and then they gloat about it unashamedly. These hooligans are no different just on less coin than the footballers themselves that's all. We all saw this coming way before the contest started hence them stopping the alcohol.

Tried, convicted and sentenced over a weekend. Doesn't sound like enough to time to build a fair case for or against anyone.

Defending yourself against a Russian mob running 50 deep or a Marsaille mob running 70 deep sounds more like survival than mindless violence on the part of the England fans.

On the reports I saw after the match the majority of English fans were trying to get away from the Russians but because they were in the stadium they couldn't. I don't know but I assume that it would be simalur outside the stadium. It isn't easy to just walk away. But I don't condone the guys who joined in with the violence. Xxx

but you seem to be trying to defend or justify the guys who have been jailed for throwing bottles at the police because the Russians and others attacked the English fans..?

Please see that some just couldn't walk away... in a predicament where they had no choice but to defend.. moving away wasn't an option given to some.

Have you ever been charged at by a cop in riot gear ?

Nope..

although i have worn a green uniform in full riot gear and been on the receiving end so to speak, on more than one occasion..

and been in a similar situation again in uniform but with the doors locked..

what's the relevance of your question..?

Here!

My point is the majority of fans are there for a good time. These attacks on them are awful. You know as well as I do that there is a minority gagging for a dust up. Some of those got a dust up. Every country is the same.

Look on it as the qualifiers for the next world cup in Russia which will be carnage!

Well come on mate. You are the one painting the picture of these poor innocent English fans been attacked and having to defend themselves. The news we see. Besides what happened in the ground.is organized meetings between rival gangs. And that includes England fans. I've been to lots of football matches. I know what goes on.

so to defend themselves from the Russians the English threw bottles at the French police?

Please read the thread if you join late...

Was stated much earlier that the police also attacked but this was due to the English defending themselves against Russian batons and knives ... is this ok ?"

read the whole thread and that's a new slant on it..

your now saying that the French police attacked the English because the English were defending themselves from the Russians (rightly so)..

why were none of the Russians arrested..?

We have had our terrible times with hooligans, it destroyed football. But we have taken massive steps to deal with it. Most of our nut cases are reporting to police stations every day and have no passport, banning orders have worked well. Yes there are a few idiots and for them I have zero sympathy, lock them up with a chocolate key for me.

But every other countries idiots wants to make a name for themselves by attacking English supporters. All the European nations have "Ultras" that are largely un-policed idiots hell bent on violence. Because of our historical reputation other nations seem unwilling to be objective and protect English fans.

No the UK media don't support Russia, but they do two things: report stories in a way to maximise drama and sales and feed their own agendas, currently related to a referendum soon.

UEFA and FIFA won't rock the boat with Russia as sponsors are heavily weighted in Russian companies and the World Cup is there in two years.

Colin Murray on Talksoort was there as an Irish fan with the Poles which was he said friendly and fantastic until gangs of French hooligans turned up, bet it won't be in the papers.

Just because it's in the express or on news at ten doesn't make it true.

I hate hooliganism, the lunatic morons have ruined the game but if all your doing is having a beer and a sing at a tournament you don't deserve to attacked by armed gangs, if you are you should be protected by the authorities, if your not what do you do? Full of adrenaline, fear and beer prevented from running away? Lie down and get a kicking, ask the nice man in the balaclava with an iron bar if he fancies tea and biscuits?

Why have UEFA not threatened to throw out France? Or Geemany and Ukraine after their pre match fighting?

It's just too easy to look at the Daily Fail and say oh here we go again.

It's not a crime to wear an England shirt drink beer and sing that's all the vast majority were doing.

Ok you obviously have been in worse situations , I wasn't to know that .

My point was the cops in these situations don't just defend they Atack aswell .

in that sort of situation all police may well take that approach, much better than being bottled to be decisive and take control..

still does not sway my opinion that anyone chucking bottles at any police, be that in this country or elsewhere and being caught will be in bother..

if they have got the wrong people then there may be an appeal if there is evidence to support that..

The last 3 or 4 tournaments went without much aggro, and England were actually being praised for turning the old days around and were getting to be known as party people rather than hooligans.There are a few mindless morons that do try and cause trouble but from what I hear from a friend who is still out there, its the Russians and local French that are attacking the English

Have to say your story does seem to reflect a number of posts I've seen by other returning fans. And yes if attacked, retreat and if not able to retreat then defend however ....

Throwing stuff back at the police is going to get you noticed, regardless of what went before it's an aggressive act. There are also tales of English 'fans' (I do hate to use the word in this context) singing prevocative songs and shouting "where are you IS?" ... which I have to admit made me laugh at the stupidly of the challenge.

Glad you got back safely and though I applaud your published 'eye witness' accounts I fear that you are on a hiding to nothing.

There are far too many naive people on this thread who've never faced a situation out with their control that could have life or death consequences.
