No smoke without fire . We have seen enough footage , some official and some you tube to show there was a lot of trouble and not everyone has had your enjoyable experience Wakey.
Unfortunately, England fans reputation goes before them and so will always be a target for continental ultra groups. I'm glad the only trouble you saw was at the end but that would have been terrifying for the men, women and children fleeing to escape and jump walls.
In the UK we have become used to little or no violence at or around grounds we have forgotten what a problem it is in Europe especially in the East. Northern Ireland fans are now facing a similar problem against Polish ultras with French ones getting involved as well! The England fans wouldn't be used to the Police tactics when it does kick off. The trouble last night wasn't down to England fans but Russians but footage shows some idiots supporting England not helping the situation.
As Hibs fans we know what it is like to have a situation blown up, largely falsely, by the press after the pitch invasion at Hampden but again all the mobile phone footage does not lie and it is now being used to bring anybody responsible to justice and show that Rangers were not 100% innocent as they first claimed. However from the footage we have witnessed the violence in Marseille makes Hampden look like a 4 year olds tea party.
Enjoy the rest of your time there Wakey and stay safe.
