Good afternoon.
Enjoying the Euros? Rarely are the first games of any tournament much to write home about.
What is for certain is whatever Officer Dibble over there is in charge of the gendarmes, they need to pull there finger out and sharpish. The footage on YouTube of a steward being used as a stress ball by bovver boys has been viewed by close to 100,000 people.
In Lodz, a gang of about 50 masked Polish thugs targeted English and Russian accented fans in a violent burst of punches and kicks.
Report in the Irish Examiner this morning about more violence where 14 were arrested in Poznan. The suggestion being that Irish and Croatian fans were swooped on by Polish fans as they sat peacefully on the pavement terrace of the Sami Swoj pub.
What’s as chilling a prospect is a planned march by Russians this coming Tuesday (when Russia and Poland play each other) to mark Russia Day. The best bit of this insanity is that when this idea was broached last week a Polish ‘All Union’ mob asked for permission to ‘counter march’.
As ever in football it’s only punters like you and I that can see the difference between thoroughly good ideas and thoroughly bad ones. As far as racism goes, it’s not even a specter.
It’s been confirmed as present at training matches and tournament games alike. The Dutch had to listen to ‘monkey chants’ while they trained in Krakow. UEFA’s response was surreal. They said it had no plans to launch an investigation into the alleged racism, saying it believed the abusive chanting was in protest against Krakow not being chosen as one of the Euro 2012 host cities.
You cannot help but feel that Platini and the rest of the corpulent leeches that are responsible for awarding these things to those that whore and bribe themselves the best are living in another world. They cruise from one extravagant lunch to another with the air of the most pious of popes, not for a nano second considering that their decisions might carry consequences to real people.
At this rate people will be selling bits of Poland and the Ukraine like they did of the Berlin Wall.
Here is an idea what the situation is like if you hadnt watched it before…

Wait for the next 24-72 hours as the england fans rock up in town.
It’s rife in eastern Europe as it was 30years ago here.
As much as I dislike Judas he was right that these two countries shouldn’t be allowed any where near a comp like this.
All UEFA would do anyhow is fine them £1000.
Aren’t the next world cup gonna be in Russia (not sure)
If English fans go on the rampage watch us get a ban for 20years or something.
Maybe CFC ,MU,MCFC and AFC lose a place in the CL as well. Mmmmmm what to do…what to do?????
Platini’s response to any player asking team mates to leave the field if racist chants begin is to book the said player and if he protests send him off. Great player Platini but completely out of his depth.
NEWSFLASH from Crimewatch Merseyside
During last Sunday’s Jubilee celebrations thieves broke into the home of Liverpool and England Captain Stevie Gerrard and stole 2 Books.
At the Police re-construction a distraught Stevie said,”that has really upset me, I hadn’t even finished colouring them in yet!”
Platini? The very icon of greed and relentless ambition as a player in a team famous for corruption(Juventus..gotta luv the 30 wins onfield Tshirt..***ing CHEATS) The three italian “big”clubs used money to BUY numerous CL titles just like RM did and are still doing. They had to ban English clubs to give the rest a “fair go”. Now english clubs are doing the dame thin g and it appals him. What a ***ing HYPOOCRITE!!!!
Platini is another de gaulle so anglophobic that he wont use english words that have sneaked into french and an icon for Gallic imbercility, Euro Political Correctness to the idiots degree and UEFA corruption up to the eyeballs.
I wonder how much he received to help the current euro and world cups go to where they did?
I bet he wouldn’t talk to his wife for a month after chelski won the CL….it really p*ssed him off which was the ONLY goofd thin g about it.
Yeah i know…it’s a 4 letetr word and only 3 asterisks…I wa sso annoyed by the ***ck.
