Norway's second biggest newspapir has it as there top story today.

I guess it's bigger news than drunk norwegians in Oslo, because there is a lot more arrestes on a saturday night than 4 people.

[pussycat]

FOR GOD'S SAKE GUYS.

If anyone is daft enough to believe all the hogwash in the british press about "england fans" being the only people to like fighting in europe how the bloody hell did we end up rescuing europe twice in two world wars.

Of course some " english supporter" will fight it's human nature in drink that some a** hole will do summat stupid but so do a stupid minority in every country. it just doesnt make as good a story if 5 Germans got arrested or 40,000 frenchmen cos over here noone gives a toss about any one elses fans they mean nowt to us.!!!!

COME ON ENGLAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hic oof fell over

[FourLaneBlue]

England fans are big news. Tales of rowdy misbehaviour sells papers as people like to vicariously live the thrill and the "buzz" through a newspaper. When it come to hooligans...England fans are the star attraction. Spanish fans rioting? Big deal....English fans rioting? Oh not again!!! Those thugs etc etc...

Which is also why tales get blown up out of proportion....it fills papers!

It is funny though how people in other countries can drink and be fine, there's nowhere near as much violence in Ireland for example and they drink as much as the English.

Have you ever been to Ireland? Because you're clearly talking rubbish, there is just as much drink-related violence here as there is in England, Dublin has the most of any city I've ever been out in, it's a war-zone on weekend nights.

Do you mind, you're ruining the perfectly good image of all English citizens being hooligans and all other European countries as being saints, especially those Turks

Both times you were a bit late to the party. after the jerries blew up the lusitania and the next time when the japs enlarged your naval base in the south pacific.

Not good, but at least the loonies stayed at home.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Many more than 30k England fans in the stadium,thousands in the bars around the area and NO trouble reported in Lisbon this morning.......OH DEAR! what in gods name will the press use to fill their front pages with now?

WELL DONE ENGLAND FANS

[herbergeehh]

Why Croydon ?? Where is it anyway?

But credit to the England fans IN Portugal, after a match like that you'd think there would be trouble..

[Dr Rich]

Why Croydon ?? Where is it anyway?

London

[herbergeehh]

Yeah, I'm aware of that. But where in London?

Just didn't understand why this was the place for a mini-riot..

Who me?

It said on the front of our local paper that if you were arrested for football related violence you would be banned from atending all England, Premiership, Natiowide and Conference games for up to 3 years.

[Ossydave]

I can understand why there was a spot of bother in Birmingham, perhaps it hit home what a useless dollop they've signed in Heskey
