if it makes you feel superior mate, you crack on.

British stag parties had a very bad reputation a few years ago here, similar mentality, but it seems to have tailed off.

They are going elsewhere or just behaving better?

ive heard that they head to cheaper destinations, but still see quite a few, and generally they seem less boorish.
The problem over the last couple of years has been Danish youth of all people. They have very bad rep.

Are you a red top journo? Can you show me some evidence of this fighting?
Ever travelled away with England? Thought not.
And as for that 5Live muppet George Riley, don't get me started!
I was caught up in massively overzealous policing by the CRS in Lens in 98. 1 bottle got thrown and all hell broke loose. Completely OTT way of operating which just escalates tension. England fans singing- chuck in tear gas-farcical. Was also in Belgium in 2000 (similar experience to France) but very different policing when in Lisbon in 2004 and Cologne in 2006 with very different results.
Of the few clips I've seen, all normal lads bewildered by the clueless CRS response. And how about some focus on the provocative locals and doubt the Russians are being angels.
Don't fall for all this pathetic massive press hype (leading story on 5Live this morning-speechless)!

strong and stable with me, or...
They're an embarrassing disgrace no matter how you dress it up as press led propaganda. If anyone has travelled with England before, you know how to avoid these idiots who always seem to manage to find a single Irish bar and just about offend anyone they can. It is never pleasant following England due to being associated with these bellends. Yeah, it's a minority, it's probably not as bad as the press are making out, but they're ****ing morons nevertheless.

Are there actually any Wales fans there at all? Not seen them mentioned in any violence-related news reports. Ditto either of the Ireland teams fans.Maybe they're all just having a fine time and can handle the heat and handle their beers. Unlike the beer-bellied white trash England fans invariably from shit northern towns (as advertised on their flags). Same old, same old.

Well, according to some you can't believe photos etc. or reporting, but Welsh fans have allegedly be singing along side French fans sharing flags and having a good old sing song without any trouble whatsoever, enjoying the hospitality of their hosts.
Meanwhile, England's knuckle draggers sing their usual repertoire of IRA, German, French, EU songs enjoying the local culture....in the Irish Pub. The locals provoked them....yeah, poor blokes were just looking for a quiet drink.

The videos from yesterday show French 'fans' attacking English spliced in with English fans being pushed back by Police. You can tell from the clothes. No idea about today but having experienced the Marseille police last time back in the world cup I very much doubt this is as it seems. I can recall siting quietly in a bar having a few drinks with one friend with mostly French women with small children as the rest of the clientele when a stray tear gas canister was fired into the bar. The police there are not nice or very tolerant at all...
Far easier though to blame English fans. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the trouble begins and ends in Marseille, which was a bloody stupid place to put England in the first place...

Just back from a week long sojourn following England. We managed to handle our beer / heat ok, were friendly with everyone despite our beer bellies, and three of us come from a shit southern town. There was plenty of alcohol/pubs open in Lens and the draconian measures/mass violence never materialised . You couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere, but the red tops won't tell you that.
You come across like a jealous sweaty. Same old, same old.

Went to the Wales matching Lens and the Slovakia match in St Ettienne. Didn't see a single bit of trouble just superb football fans enjoying the pre match atmosphere and then the game. Great times.
Off to Nice on Monday.
