But but but .... English. Such is their level of hatred for everything British that they can't bring themselves to pass any sort of positive remarks about them.

It has everything to do with the Irish in their minds. Every decent British person would condemn this kind of behaviour but we have Irish fools saying they are right.

The person your replying to is a Rangers fan so take their view on this with a pinch of salt. Rangers fans revel in these songs and this sort of stuff. I think they even started them.

If anything the supporters of that club are worse than English fans. I seen most of those on twitter supporting these songs being sung are Rangers fans from Scotland with union jack flags on their profiles. The gutter of society.

Revel in what? The majority of Rangers fans support Scotland, i.e. not the biggest fans of England. As for the songs, wouldn't hear them being sung at Ibrox, as I said at the start of the thread.

Some supporters of the English national team reverting back to type. Why are we surprised?
They didn't dare go to Russia. Couldn't afford to go to Brazil.
Utter scum.

Most Rangers fans don't give a toss about Scotland. It's probably why the Tartan Army are so well behaved, no Rangers in there to spoil it.

Being well behaved is not some sort of achievement, it doesn't merit being commented on.

They set them up because they were going to do it anyway. So they said we might as well put a few toilets in instead of them pissing over the architecture and having a naked **** on a lamppost.

You havent a clue, the fan zones were set up at UEFAs insistence and it is tradition for Champions League finals at this stage. They literally facilitate fans having a drink and a good time. You alluded to trouble in Madrid but yet with 100,000 odd fans all that is in the media is one single arrest. How do you explain that? I think you're talking rubbish tbh.

Too funny

So many of rhe anti anything English crowd getting a collective hard on because a few drunken **** cause some trouble.

Amazing how you never hear mention of the Irish football hooligans who fight each other almost every other week.

They never have an issue with American sports fans rioting.

No mention of the French supporters rioting after the world cup final.

But mention the English and they are all over the subject like dogs on a bone.

Get a life lads/lasses, release the hatred and get over yourselves, the average English person despise these idiots as much as anyone else so stop making out it's the whole nation.

Truly laughable, but as always pedictable reactions from our usual barstool republicans :rolleyes:

Did any of those events you mention get widespread coverage in the media?

Any time you hear of trouble at LOI matches people have a go at those idiots aswell.

Also there is a bit of a difference causing trouble in your own country and causing trouble in a foreign country, the latter is seen as being much worse than the other in most people eyes.

If every country whose fans engaged in this level of violence were banned, it would only be Ireland, the Faroe islands and Gibraltar left in the european championship.

I must be imagining all the Scotland discussions on the Rangers forums.

meeeeh

I'm not Irish so this has nothing to do Irish republicanism. Historically Brits have very poor reputation as football fans and were a model to loads of scummy fan groups around Eastern Europe. Similarly English drinking tourists don't gave great reputation either. It's all grand to say the average English person despises them but there is arrogance many of us who live/lived in countries with cheaper alcohol witnessed from groups of English fans or stag parties.

Whatever the reason but England has bigger issues than other western European countries.

Where did a single person say it was "the whole nation". If anyone is being condemned, as well as the football hooligans, it is the people on here defending those that "the average English person despise" ie those same hooligans.

There's a bad history there though. Nobody else has been thrown out of European competition for 5 yrs due to the heinous actions of one of their clubs abroad.

I know it's only small subset of the lower orders who engage with this stuff. The vast majority of English don't and are ashamed of them.

It must be a lot of fun to riot in fairness.

A lot of these trouble maker's come from a militant British army background.

It goes way back through their DNA even in Limerick City which was a garison town,the most hardest people came from the tans and married into Irish families....

You can see that dark Britannia look about them, some are ok but the worst have an English heritage going back 300 year's
They're different, I can't say they're bad people it's just they're tough and have a hardened DNA structure, as for Cork, Galway and Dublin they're not the same kind of people.

Limerick has a big lineage going back to England....

That's a theory brought to my attention from a historian, not a fact

This is the wrong thread,but it's not a fact that there wasn't any British soldiers harassing people and goading them in the north during the troubles...

When England fans sing F the Pope, F the IRA they mean it as an insult to all Irish People, anyone thinks differently is clueless.

Disgracing their country once again, and now bringing out the full Rangers songbook, including "**** the Pope" which they now sing regularly. Plenty of Catholic English people out there, vile stuff more akin to their National Front days when they trashed Landsdowne road. Taking over an Irish bar and singing anti IRA songs as well. Obsessed....:rolleyes:

Are you sure they're English Hooligan football fans or just liberals from Ireland?

Approximately 1 in 10 of those fans would be Catholic. Maybe they stay quiet for that chant.

Yeah, I vaguely remember that case. As you say it was a good few years ago. Thankfully incidents like that are rare in our game. Doesn't mean it's not scumbaggey bevahiour of course, in case anyone thinks I'm condoning any trouble that does occur here.
