Honest question re. English rioting in France

I'm not convinced you could have survived in an age before doughnuts and eyelash curlers.

How's your mom doing, by the way?

Donuts: 1847.
Eyelash curler: 1931.
That's an 84 year swing.

Oh dear, let me tell you of a personal experience. I was riding my bicycle on Great Western road in Glasgow, just past the Grovner hotel. As I stopped at the traffic lights on Kirklee avenue a minibus full of men pulled up beside me. As I waited for the lights to change they opened the windows of the minibus and started to spit on me terming me a 'jock ****' and many other expletives. I recognised from their accents that they were probably from the North East of England somewhere.

Now we can put this down to an isolated incident but them how are we to explain all these other instances of hooligan behaviour. It terms of preconception? In terms of stereotypes? I don't think so. Just accept the fact that you have a problem with hooliganism and that England supporters have no sense of decorum, being ill bred churls and it will be ok for you, but this attempting to explain it away with references to preconception isn't working for you.

One can hardly expect them to exhibit anything other than bias given their track record.

oh dear even The Guardian is in on the charade attempting to blame the organisers. If that were really the case then how have no other fans exhibited the same kind of churlish ill bred behaviour due to the ineptitude of the organisers. Furthermore its a piece of nonsense because you were already causing trouble pre match. Epic failure to explain away what we know. Your nation has a problem with football hooliganism.

Thanks but i don't need your permission to post anything and will feel free to expose the bias of the English media towards its hooligans.

wow only a sicko like you would attempt to get some leverage from a persons injuries. I suspect that being intellectually bereft you need to form these kind of emotive arguments.

You are just a goddamned hypocrite. Not all English supporters are hooligans, but a lot are. You are as biased as you accuse others to be. Now go away and cry some more about English hotheads being gangbanged for a chance while they usually are the ones doing all the banging. Which is to say there were also English hooligans beating the crap out of French and Russians without being provoked at all. You just choose just to pick the "news" that fits your agenda.
