A Goalkeeper was  knocked  to the ground, attacked and punched by opposing fans when he went to retrieve the ball at the Hearts/ Hibernian match.  The Hearts goalkeeper  Zdenek Zlamal  slams Hibs fans who punched him in chaotic Edinburgh derby as new footage shows keys which fan threw at him stuck in net.  -----------------  Disgusting display of hooliganism.

Mindless, morons.

Seen it all before in the 70's. Fences will be erected soon - and then another disaster awaits.  The old addage still stands......

 

Football is a gentleman's game, played by hooligans

Rugby is a hooligan's game, played by gentlemen

Yes, but in these instances it's not the players is it.

Couldn't say-Soccer is a gentleman's game watched by holigans. Rugby is a hooligans game watched by gentlemen.  Could we?surprised

But it's not the players who are the problem, it's the spectators or at least a small but very vocal and visible section of the spectators as witnessed in last night's England soccer game in Bulgaria. The English spectators, or some of them helped little with their audible antics during the home teams national anthem. They are all despicable morons! Unfortunately racist abuse is the highest hate crime in our country too! Sad but true!

+1, you’ll never control the right wing knuckle draggers. Ban the National team from playing home games for 1yr-sorted, if they continue extend it for another year👍🏻

Just look at the stands in Japan at the RWC. Opposing spectators and neutrals sitting side by side just enjoying each other's company and the banter between. I just love it every where I've been at home and abroad. You have to ask how?

BUT It IS the players in the Mixed Hockey / Lacrosse part of our posts, Mickysf,  wink.

That was a little aside from / between  TDA & myself.

As for the rest of your post I'm with you and Rocky as far as soccer goes -- but  if the matches are called off or abandoned the fools will consider themselves to have won, I'm afraid

The whole issue related to the OP is spectator behaviours. Although I understand the side conversation between the two of you it is irrelevant to the issue. I merely attempt to focus back on this as you do in your final paragraph of which I totally agree. One suggestion now is for them (Bulgaria) to be banned from future tournaments until they can prove they have kicked racism out.
