Euros Final - Italy v England - Sunday 11/07 - 20:00

as long as you avoid actual violence or racism.

Never quite seem to manage it though do you.

 

[Ax^]

it just football you have to make life unplesant for visiting fans

I prefer the silent treatment myself, i.e. shining lasers in the eyes.

e.g.

Exactly. Some of my favourite football days have been at the old Cardiff ground. Hostile but so good when we beat them.

Yep, winning 2-0 at Ninian park to make the play offs at the age of 11 in 1995, after suffering dogs abuse all game is formative stuff.

These anti booing weirdos have got no idea what they're missing out on.

You should politely clap opposing players and fans at all times and not try to give your team a psychological advantage.

I do.

 

[Ted Striker]

Fuck, forgot about all this. What fucking pricks

I dipped my toe into getting tickets for the final, and to win that lottery and/or shell out the silly (£4k+) money for a ticket, and act like this? Genuinely can't understand that sort of stupidity.

Bring in silent sections, or hand out song sheets to make sure there isn't any rude stuff being sung.

 

[Ax^]

just for the record with travelling fans full statium it maybe less of an issue.


are we their yet?

 

[Cid]

I do.

Never seen any violence at Bristol Rovers. Racism gets challenged. Always.

At Bristol Rovers.

well its not like you english fans have smashed up a stadium within the last 25 years

gladitorial combat seems to have died out though

 

[strung out]

At Bristol Rovers.

 

[BristolEcho]

well its not like you smashed up a stadium in the last 25 years

What does that even mean?

 

[ska invita]

Best team edged it. Feel for penalty takers but it’s not the 90s now and noone will blame them.

Apart from all the many racists

 

[Ax^]

it ok to be a dick as fan because its football does not always lead to a good result

 

[two sheds]

normally good result for one of them though

 

[Crannadict]

Nobody did realise about PIGS SUPREMACY?
Portugal 1 Euro 2016
Italy 1 Euro 2021
Greece 1 Euro 2004
Spain 2 Euros 2008 / 2012

In terms of quality participants it's a top class competition. If you look at the top 3 teams in each world cup since 1966 (winner, runner-up, 3rd place) - only two non-European nations have placed. European teams have placed 33 out of the 42 top place slots at World Cups since '66 (with only multiple appearances by Brazil and Argentina interrupting that).

LITERALLY THE BEST THING ABOUT THE EURO's... Is/was my semi regular Facebook (remember Facebook?) status update of

"Say what you want about Messi, once again he's gone missing in a major tournament"

...status update. I say "Is/Was", it got ruined by an old school pal (always was a few sandwiches sort etc) reminding me that Messi was, indeed, Argentinian, and not likely a feature of a European competition. And - not making any judgements or statements don't he quality of my secondary school, but... - he got a few likes/whatever, and it made ME look like a condescending smart-arse.

If he can't be bothered to be born in Europe

 

[Cid]

I don’t mean to be a dick, I’m drunk, which is the excuse of all English people. But you can’t extrapolate from Bristol rovers fans to England fans.

 

[Ted Striker]

If he can't be bothered to be born in Europe

Imagine what he could have been...

No Atomic Kitten though.

I very much doubt it's true that they haven't seen violence at Rovers games to be honest.

No Atomic Kitten though.

Games fucking dead to be honest.

I didn't. You said 'you never quite seem to manage it though, do you', about not being violent or racist, to which I replied that I do.

You called me a silent onlooker, which is a really fucking shitty thing to say because you're basically saying I tolerate violence and racism. I don't, and I've challenged it, online and in person at football.
