Our flight from Stansted to Amsterdam on Thursday afternoon was nearly delayed because of a few idiots on board. The pilot threatened to have them removed if they continued to be abusive to the flight attendants.
There were numerous people who went across with no tickets or intention of attending the game but were only interested in causing trouble. Yet again these pond life not only tarnish the reputation of decent England supporters but our country as well. |  | | |

Another poorly written article:
"They are lured by promises of a return to the glories of empire, which they interpret to include the right to kick out immigrants, particularly those of a different colour."
I've followed England abroad on many occasions and it is exceedingly rare - in fact, I have never heard a racist chant or song. The author has turned this into a race argument which it really is not. |  | | |

Not technically racist but surely you have heard anti German, anti Irish and anti Islam chants?
Just bantz? [Post edited 26 Mar 2018 15:10]

The article is trying its very best to turn this towards a "race" thing.
Yes, I have heard the German and Irish chants before - outdated, unnecessary and dare I say it - boring now.
I haven't heard the anti-Islam chants so cannot comment on those. | | | |

Leaving aside whether 'race' exists, how would you define the German and Irish chants?
Merely xenophobic? Or just top bantz? |  |

Xenophobic in the main, and I would argue many fans do see it as "Banter" rightly or wrongly. Certainly the anti-Irish chants had some context in the 80s and 90s but that's a tired outlook now. | | | |

When I went to watch England Germany in Dortmund, there were blokes doing Nazi Salutes in the pub. | |

We didn't hear 'Ten German Bombers' in 1966, so this demonstrates the growing levels of ignorance and lack of historical perspective that seem so common today.
Whether there is really a difference between racism and xenophobia is an interesting debate. | |

You would have thought the Germans wouldn't do that anymore.
I'm assuming you were drinking with the Germans because, hah, why on earth would you want to drink with the English!? | |

Certainly one of Richard Williams's poorer articles. Could have been written any time in the last 30 years or so, with "Brexit" tacked onto it as unnecessary strapline. |  |

When it does become a country, will you be able to buy aLapland passport? 15.99 plus VAT sounds about right. | | | |

Agree with that. He's trying to spin it into something it's not. They just seem like a bunch of thick, narrow-minded twots to me. Xenophobic? Probably. But that's about as far as it goes in the main. |  |

And that’s all that are, idiots. It’s not even football hooliganism ( which rightly or wrongly doesn’t bother me if there are 2 sets of groups who want to have a scrap )
it’s just being d1ckheads. Like chucking beer at families of tourists in Amsterdam. |  | | |
