As predicted, the Russian FA fined €150k and given a deferred ban and a formal warning re future conduct. I'm assuming UEFA's formal warning has not changed re England's position and the future behaviour of it's fans. Watch this space!

UEFA has no jurisdiction away from the stadium and close surrounding areas.
A bar fight 5 miles from the stadium doesn't concern them.
So long as England fans don't cause trouble inside the stadium, we'll be fine.

I don't think England will cause trouble in the grounds. There would have been none inside the ground in Marseille if the Russians hadn't started it.

If that was the case then why was a formal warning issued to the English FA and England fans to behave or a poss ban could well be imposed? Also why did Woy and Wayne Rooney issue their unprecedented appeal yesterday? England fans didn't cause any problem Inside the stadium but that formal warning is still in place and I'm guessing the French authorities, in conjunction with UEFA, would impose that ban if more of this shit starts up again and England fans are involved!

I think that as time has moved on and social media videos and statements have been gathered it has become clear (to the world, the French Police and UEFA) that although England has trouble makers (who I hope will be caught and punished) the real, much bigger issue, is this new category of super thug from Russia referred to as Ultra's.

They seem to be a very well known, well trained and specialise in violence. Back in Russia their hatred is focused on immigrants and is motivated by racism. But they are having a break from that believing that French gangs and in particular British football fans will be 'Up for it'.

No doubt the English thugs over the years have created this reputation and have attracted this attention. But in reality they are far and few between nowadays as we have dealt with them previously. It is, in the main, innocent football loving fans that are getting the backlash this week - and a few drunk and outspoken morons who always appear and are certainly no match for the Police or these gangs.

There is every chance that Russia will get expelled and potentially England as well and there is nothing the football squads or authorities can do about this as its about civil unrest. We can identify and ban downstream but we can't police or manage thousands of people currently unknown whilst they are at large at the football tournament.

Yep! Good comments! I'm wondering how England fans will handle a defeat, or potential early elimination, in Lens? Ideally, they 'take the disappointment on the chin' and move on. However, my gut feeling tells me that will not be the case and the drunken morons/shit losers tarnish an already damaged reputation even further. I'll be impressed if the former scenario does arise!
