Behave man, I wish people would stop bigging these clowns up. There's not a scar between them, or a drop of blood, a bunch of slapping tarts.![]()
Agreed. I'm sick of hearing about how these ultra hard Russians lived in the wastes of Siberia for 5 years, wrestling bears and training diligently for the day they'd go across to the euros with their weapons, matching outfits, mouth guard and MMA gloves and are some kind of elite fighting machine.
From what I've seen they're a bit mental but largely just a bunch of wankers walking around in a shitty uniform, smacking people when they massively outnumber them and, when the numbers have been anything like equal, they've either wanted no part of it or the pissed up English lads have defended themselves fairly well. They're not impressive in any way, shape or form, they're embarrassing, cowardly thugs. If that's as macho as they get in Russia I'm amazed the Ukraine hasn't f***ing annexed them. I could put on a tap out t-shirt, wear a pair of gloves, bang in a mouth guard and kick the fuck out of some lass then run away when her fella turns up. It doesn't make me an elite fighter, it makes me a cunt. They'd be getting a hard on if they knew how much people were bigging then up. They're just sad wanker hooligans, nothing more
Strange that after 2 days of listening to pissed up fans bellowing about military prowess in World War Two, amongst other things, the French police didn't fancy donning some riot gear and getting in the way of the Russian muscle men they knew were in town and looking for the English
It's tough for any genuine bystanders caught up in it, but I suspect sympathy will be in very short supply in France for the reasons you just mentioned.
So basically because some daft lads sang some daft songs the police might not have been arsed about doing their job and preventing innocent people from potentially being murdered, nice.
