I expected this unacceptable scenario to unfold at some stage of Euro 2016 because the previous football history, particularly in matches associated with England and English fans, reveals the usual violence and thuggery that deflect away from what most of us are interested in - the football event itself!! It certainly happened earlier than I expected and I find it amusing listening to the familiar 'we were picked on' comments that England fans utter. As the years go by, these usual defensive comments just 'fly over my head' as one realises that the England international football team and certain English fans who follow them are indeed 'the common factor'!! The 'seeds of violence are sown' (how sad!!) and I'm bracing myself to see where this unacceptable behaviour unfolds next and don't forget, England have not even played their 1st match v Russia and their fans have not departed from Marseilles yet!!!Deja vu - seen it all before and will it ever change when it comes to England fans travelling in high numbers to these kinda tourneys!!
Its the same kind of mindless idiots as we saw fighting on the pitch at Hampden a couple of weeks ago!! Every country has them, and whether you believe it or not the reputation of the England fans does mean they will attract the local yobs as well. Besides, one England fan was arrested in the whole thing, hardly an incident that warrants the amount of column inches it is getting!!
