The father of an England fan jailed for three months calls the sentence "A disgrace".

The crime? He threw a bottle at police. What do these clowns expect?

Yes it's absolutely outrageous that you can't engage in a touch of rioting without those interfering Police spoiling the fun. And then the French courts actually handing out a meaningful sentence which might make this low life nobber think twice next time, and it might act as a deterrent to those considering getting involved in future.

Just because similar behaviour in the UK would only merit a slap on the wrist doesn't make it acceptable elsewhere. Tear gas, water cannon, rubber bullets, batons, lots of arrests, and substantial prison sentences - bring it on. If you don't like all that; don't get involved you nobbers!

On the local news a 41 year old psychiatric nurse has been jailed for 2 years for fighting. He was probably a normal type of chap who got involved in the heat of the moment.

Sorry, but f*ck him. He was probably a violent nobber who has been found out. And wasn't it 2 MONTHS rather than years?

It was 3 months. The BBC are doing their usual and trying to bury the negative stories in amongst the article in which the Russians are being blamed for the trouble, but it is there......
The first fan to appear in court in Marseille on Monday was 20-year-old Alexander Booth, from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, who was sentenced to two months for throwing a plastic bottle at police.

Reacting to the sentence, Booth's father Chris, who was later seen in tears, said he would "fight it".

Ian Hepworth, 41, a psychiatric nurse from Sheffield, was sentenced to three months for throwing a bottle at police and then walking forward to pick up a second bottle.

Ashley Kelly, 26, from Birmingham, was sentenced to three months in prison for throwing seven bottles outside the stadium.

Both Paul Jackson, 21, from Halifax, and Lee Phillips, 23, from Taunton, were given one month in prison.

Steven Cornell, 28, was also jailed for two months after being charged in connection with the violence.

No Russian fans have been arrested yet. Seeing as they had a hardcore of 150 hooligans there that seems odd.

Perhaps that is because they are well organised and are deliberately targeting England fans whilst not drawing attention to themselves by throwing bottles at the Police and generally making drunken arses of themselves.

Doesn't help when your English boys are chanting "If it wasn't for us, you'd all be speaking German".
I object to this on several levels.
1. None of those wasters are fit to lace the boots of anyone who landed on the Normandy beaches during the D-day landings.
2. Those that DID land on the beaches were not just English. There were an awful lot of Scots, Welsh, Canadian, American, and others.
3. Had the BRITISH (not English) forces not been bailed out by the other allies, then WE would all be speaking German.
I don't know who it was on Radio 2 today on the Jeremy Vine programme, but some English journo claimed that the above chants were just English fans chanting among themselves. What hope for you when your media is in denial. Oh, and yesterday on ITV there was some reporter who made the ultimate mistake and referred to the English fans as "British". FFS. :rolleyes:

Yes, that was one incident, upon which the English media are concentrating. I saw an awful lot of violence on the streets of Marseille in which England fans appeared to be involved. The incident involving the Russians inside the ground offered the press a change of tack, and they grabbed it with both hands.

You can bet your life on the fact that now England are being threatened with expulsion from the tournament if there is any further violence, the BBC will be keeping schtum even if WW3 breaks out on the streets of Lille or Lens.

"Both sets of fans are now heading to northern France for their next matches - Russia play Slovakia in Lille on Wednesday and England meet Wales in Lens on Thursday - and there are fears of more trouble between them, particularly as many England fans will pass through Lille, which also has a much bigger fan zone than Lens"

I've heard on the grapevine that a "hardcore" of England nut cases are making their way over for this. Those involved in the Marseilles violence seemed like novices. Maybe it's going to kick off big style as they say?

What I find genuinely concerning about Mr Dyer is that he's been in 3 really good films, meaning he's on my "Yeah, he's a good actor list".

Dolph Lundgren and Gerrard Butler are also on the list.

Anyway, 'mon Portugal!
