To be disgusted by my own city?

[DelRaya]

Seen lovely footage of fans “celebrating” by smashing up a taxi ... jumping up and down on it, completely smashed the windscreen. All done with a large crowd watching them and singing.

Jumping up and down on bus shelters, again smashing them to pieces.

I’m so utterly disgraced with my hometown.

The video i linked.............it happened nearly three weeks ago and AFAIK there have been no arrests. You can see their fucking faces FFS. its on FILM.

It seems to be be almost acceptable now, and there is little police response when it is reported

Tory police cuts

This appeared on Facebook this afternoon, posted by NHS, there is a paramedic car under there, thousands of pounds worth of damage & unable to respond to emergencies.

Why is this deemed acceptable?

I think the swearing is a minor irritation to be honest.

the Shadow Minister for Sport has written to Theresa May asking for the semis to be shown on big screens in public areas...

as former Home Sec I really hope she's got the sense to say no!

why don't we share and give Gareth the well meaningless slap on the wrist the tool deserves. Oh and the repair bill. T££t.

Agree entirely that the people using football as an excuse for going over the top are spoiling it for those who actually love the sport.

Go to the pub or have a bbq or whatever, enjoy the game, have a few drinks and a bit of a sing song if you like. I live on the edge of a sleepy town in Cornwall where nothing ever happens and have just seen a man walk down my street with something that looked like a bar in his hand!! Goodness knows what's going on out there, I was just thinking about calling the police when I saw a police car go down the road so it looks like they are on to it. What a waste of resources.

I can currently hear a bunch of tossers repeatedly shouting 'ENG-ER-LAND' a few streets away.
How is singing loudly a bad thing though? I wouldn't care if someone was singing a few streets away, if that's all you're basing it on some ENG ER LAND shouting, I'd hear it as enjoying themselves. I say this as a non football supporter.

Presumably the next bit is actually based on something other than loudly shouting England
Football is always ruined by the drunk yobbos who can't handle their drink and behave like dicks.

There is a game played between the two teams that lost semi finals to decide which is third and which fourth. Hence there will be two games over the weekend - if England lose the semifinals then they play on Saturday 14 rather than the final which is on Sunday 15th.

This is what football brings with it unfortunately. Re the thread title Nottingham doesn't surprise me much to be honest, although Derby isn't much better. www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/gallery/mickleover-pub-violence-england-game-1746758

Why is this deemed acceptable?

Ginoclock who in their right mind has deemed it acceptable? I'm pretty sure everyone will be in agreement that it really isn't.

I hate it

HATE IT

And all the xenophobic tabloid headlines and all that. Am so glad england haven’t played germany this time - can’t be doing with all that spitfires on the front of the sun bollocks (meanwhile actual nazis are on the rise and the self same paper doesn’t give a fuck).

I live in a city with two big football teams and it’s the same at derby time, and if one lot goes up/down or whatever it is they do

Meanwhile all the gammons will be moaning about the waste of taxpayers money spent policing the trump protests next week. It drives me spare.

Hoping this works, if not search UK Paramedic Humour on Facebook, they are asking for their post to be shared in the hope that those responsible for the damage can be traced

gin what is the full title of the fb page thats on.

@HopeClearwater
Yes, Tory cuts are absolutely to blame when drunken pissheads are on the rampage.
I’d prefer to blame the Government that introduced all day drinking.
Mmmmmmm wasn’t that the Blair Government

@Tjzmummabear exactly how is any of this Gareth Southhgate's fault?

Ta Gin X post

The ultimate blame lies with the men involved. No one forces them to drink: absolutely no one forces them to be violent.

Rainbows when something is played down and minimized it amounts to the same thing.

Just did a quick google and if England go through to the final then the matches are Wednesday and Sunday

Yes I said if they don't win on Wednesday they also play on Saturday - which is the third place play off for the 2 losers of the semi finals :)

Of course it's the fault of those who choose to drink too much and get violent.
I went to a local pub to watch the atmosphere was great and I've seen no trouble whatsoever.

Football should be banned until the yobs can behave themselves.
Ridiculous sport imo-players behave like animals, have sex with prostitutes, cheat on women, swear

The sheep follow the shepherd.

It's embarrassing to have to identify the same nationality as these idiots.
You see the Italians drinking and it's cultured. The south americans drink. The whole world celebrates football, without turning into hooligans.
The brits are largely white, sunburned, topless, chavvy twats who act like they've been dragged up and have the alcohol tolerance of a 15 year old. Total dickheads the lot of them. Not a chance I'd push my boys into playing football as a hobby.

Sadly there's also an increase in domestic violence during England world cup games.

househunthappening you were going to call the police because a man walked down your street with a bar?

It is the lead story on Sky News!!! Yes report it but not the lead story surely?
