I'm hating it.
Our council has imposed a no-go area for homeless people because they were making people in the town centre feel intimidated. Not just for the football, they did it months ago to encourage people to shop and drink without having to look at a poor person.
Never mind that it was drunken yobs who almost kicked a homeless man to death here while he slept.
No, the only antisocial people we have in our town are the blokes sleeping in doorways.
Now the football is on the council have probably done the homeless people a favour by getting them out of the town centre while all the so-called fans are out.
For every England game one particular street has been totally filled with drunken arseholes in football shirts and flags, jumping up and down on the bus shelters until the perspex gives way and they fall through.
I've never avoided the town centre because I thought I might see a bloke with a dog sitting on a sleeping bag. I have avoided it like the plague since the football has been on the the thugs have been out.
A friend shared a facebook post of a girl who works for the NHS, who went out to watch a game and ended up being glassed by some piece of shit who celebrates by throwing bottles and glasses.
She's had to have an operation already, may never fully recover, nearly lost her eye, and has had so many comments from other thick arseholes saying she should have expected bottles to be thrown at her if England score because "that's just how we celebrate" and if she didn't like it she should have stayed at home.
And then there's Women's Aid posting about how domestic violence increases if England lose.
I know it's not all fans but seriously this is a national embarrassment. If they win the whole thing it will still be eclipsed by the behaviour of these thugs.
