Depends if people have taken the afternoon off as well, certainly Sunday has the potential of 5 hours or so drinking before KO

There'll be loads of dickheads out tonight, it doesn't matter what time kick off is, they'll just power drink until they're sufficiently tanked up enough to act like *****. The result is irrelevant, they'll use it as an excuse either way.

I'm not saying some football fans are a bit thick, but I'm quite pleased I don't have my Skoda anymore. Just in case it all goes wrong tonight...

I wonder if it was the same tw*t who swore at the police dog because it was German.
Not the brave Geordie cnt who punched a police horse?

Strangely it was much quieter in Italy. The Germans in our hotel just took themselves quietly off to bed after we got back after the match, probably avoided a lot of problems all round.
If there was some trouble and vandalism after a win, it’ll definitely kick off after a loss. I remember it might’ve been 4 years ago, big groups of thugs rioting against the police in estates and small towns in South Yorkshire.
The usual thick grime, looking for any excuse to drag the country down.

The French rioted last night. There will be trouble, somewhere but really all it proves is that amongst 65 million people there are a few knobheads. Which we know already. Hopefully media will ignore and focus on the match.

Will there be riot police using tear gas in The Mall...?
I'm sure a few on here will know the lad who was arrested and charged with manslaughter, spent time on remand and then acquitted due to lack of evidence. Just as Brighton itself was rougher in those days with no CCTV so the police had a habit of picking up anyone who happened to be in the area. He was a mate of mine and my friends at a time when pretty much everyone who went away knew each other because we'd only take 2 or 300 tops. I'd watched an earlier game with them but, for the semi, I had to work until 15 minutes in to the first half. I legged it home and watched with my dad.
I'll never know what pub I'd have been in had I not worked, or if I would have got involved. I'd like to think not but beer and peer pressure and crowds all do weird things to boys in their late teens and early 20s. And I might have just tried to walk away and got nicked anyway. I still find it all a bit scary TBH.

I sincerely hope that all of the local language schools have strongly advised their students to maintain a very low profile both today and at the weekend, because the streets will be awash with ****s who can't hold their drink and are looking to pick a fight with anybody who speaks foreign and looks at them a bit funny like

I was thinking exactly the same earlier. I saw none around Saturday afternoon in fairness, so hopefully common sense and the language schools duty of care has prevailed.

It's a bit of a state though when that sort of precaution has to be taken by anyone just to avoid running into the wrong person. Kind of takes the nice off a bit

Brighton has always been a rough town. Think of Brighton Rock, the race gangs of the 1930/40s. Mods and Rockers in the 1960s.
Keith Waterhouse so aptly described Brighton as “a town assisting police with their enquiries.”
