Yuko Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Not sure what the whole fuss is about, but I saw a bit by Jonathan Pie (not going to post it here as it contains some political stuff and I'm not sure if that's allowed) who commented on how people were behaving... badly even before the game, so I'll focus on that part. I don't know about you guys, but as a person living in a popular destination for English (British in general) tourists, no surprise here. This is what Europe thinks English people are like because this is the behavior that's been exported. And this is why people all over Europe do not like English people*. Seeing these events in London feels.. normal for people who are not aware that this thing doesn't really happen over there. *see attached image for the lulz As much as the English society wants to hide this image, this is part of society and it needs to be fixed. Especially since it's one of its major exotic exports. Exposing it at home is perhaps the best way to trigger a solution. Hiding the problem under a rug is only going to create mountains of rugs. It's not as if hooliganism has died, it is truly limited but it's mostly just not televised anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArsenalFan7 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Find the idea of a man firing a flare out of his bare ass being a key component of the ‘biggest day of his life’ absolutely majestic in all fairness.

This, Yuko's post is just trying to tell us stuff we already know tbh. Even if they read this thread alone they would know a) it's not hidden b) the negative strength of feeling towards people like this is much stronger than anything abroad c) people in England love nothing more than exposing said idiots. It's also not even close to what true hooliganism is ( the firms, the organised fights). Still absolutely grim and needs to go, regardless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadsheep2001 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Also from what I've heard (though I suspect it will be very difficult in reality) clubs are going to try and ban anyone identified from their respective grounds. Think the reality is that it's going to be near enough impossible to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best it's an ignorant post, you'd think people would stay away from sweeping statements when it comes to nationalities, they usually end up saying something offensive that gets them in trouble Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine when aimed at English football hooligans tbh. I will gladly sweepingly state that they are SCUM. There. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Moores Mum Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hardly a bold claim that, is it? Unless you somehow think hooligans from other countries are more decent. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

England is kind of like the America of Europe in this regard. People have an idea of the country due to media portrayals or the tourists they come across, and it ignores the complexity of the "imagined community" that makes up England.
