Maverick Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Norway's second biggest newspapir has it as there top story today. http://www.dagbladet.no/sport/2004/06/13/400373.html I guess it's bigger news than drunk norwegians in Oslo, because there is a lot more arrestes on a saturday night than 4 people.

pussycat Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 FOR GOD'S SAKE GUYS. If anyone is daft enough to believe all the hogwash in the british press about "england fans" being the only people to like fighting in europe how the bloody hell did we end up rescuing europe twice in two world wars. Of course some " english supporter" will fight it's human nature in drink that some a** hole will do summat stupid but so do a stupid minority in every country. it just doesnt make as good a story if 5 Germans got arrested or 40,000 frenchmen cos over here noone gives a toss about any one elses fans they mean nowt to us.!!!! COME ON ENGLAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hic oof fell over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourLaneBlue Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 (edited) England fans are big news. Tales of rowdy misbehaviour sells papers as people like to vicariously live the thrill and the "buzz" through a newspaper. When it come to hooligans...England fans are the star attraction. Spanish fans rioting? Big deal....English fans rioting? Oh not again!!! Those thugs etc etc... Which is also why tales get blown up out of proportion....it fills papers!

Dr Rich Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 It is funny though how people in other countries can drink and be fine, there's nowhere near as much violence in Ireland for example and they drink as much as the English. Have you ever been to Ireland? Because you're clearly talking rubbish, there is just as much drink-related violence here as there is in England, Dublin has the most of any city I've ever been out in, it's a war-zone on weekend nights.

Do you mind, you're ruining the perfectly good image of all English citizens being hooligans and all other European countries as being saints, especially those Turks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 12 were arrested in Harrogate. and they have let you out this early? Who me? It said on the front of our local paper that if you were arrested for football related violence you would be banned from atending all England, Premiership, Natiowide and Conference games for up to 3 years.

Ossydave Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I can understand why there was a spot of bother in Birmingham, perhaps it hit home what a useless dollop they've signed in Heskey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
