They made Manchester look and smell even worse than normal.

Presumably their bits of Glasgow looks like this all the time? :wink:

    Listening to the live coverage of the build up on FiveLive yesterday at 4pm, it comes as no surprise. Every time they turned the mic on some slurring p*ssed Glaswegian would make sure he got on air. Bet most of the "fans" can't even remember the match this morning.

    You should see the mess after T in the Park - takes weeks to clean it up. It must be mostly Rangers fans that go there as well...

    I passed Ibrox last night after the game - it was a midden there too, but not half as bad as that.

    I hope you're joking about it smelling worse and looking worse than normal. its quality these days!!

    The Scottish are a right PITA, they're worse than the English.

    Apparently a few Rangers fans were urinating on the front door of my friend's place from university, hopefully he refrained from telling them he was a Russian.

    Whereas when English fans go abroad they clean up after themselves and go round handing out bouquets to all and sundry?

    I think nationality has little to do with it. It's just a large group of football "fans" - nuff said.

    PS I bet the route of the London marathon looks a bit like that after the race. Probably doesn't smell the same though...

    Quite, i went to Euro 2004 and on (England) match days large groups of England fans laid waste to central Lisbon, they appeared to be under the impression that the main square was in fact a giant tip for them to throw their rubbish on (and be sick on). It wasn't only England fans but they did seem to be among the worst offenders (the swedes however were really quite civilised in comparison - and friendlier).

    Perhaps because back home Swedes would need a bank loan to spend on a 14 pint session of rounds, or whatever quantity it is that the typical bingeing Brit consumes..

    I went to the World Cycling Champs in Zolder in 2002 - there were Norwegian and Dutch fans there so drunk they could hardly stand - was there any knifings though? (No).

    I work near Wembley Stadium, I might ride up on Sunday and take some pics of how the Cardiff and Pompey fans (both have a nasty element) leave our lovely National Stadium.

    I'm hoping that they all are overawed by motor cars, bright lights, electrickery and the fact that we in London have evolved to walk upright on our hind legs :shock: .

    To be fair to the rest of us scots, Glasvagrants have a notoriety (in the east anyway) for two things:

    1. Dodging Soap (thus explaining the mess)
    2. Having annoying (whiney) accents (thus explaining your not wanting to hear another scotsman)

    :lol:

    I am sure however that us edinbourjois (please not the ability to also extract the michael from oneself as well.....as my old gran used to say....if you can't take it, git tae f*ck) have some nicknames from the good folks in the west.

    I always enjoy meeting up with my westerly friends, we usually have a dunt convergence in Shotts (that is to say a duntfront moving in from the east and west at the same time)!
    Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

    Walking down Oxford Road yesterday it's hard to believe there wasn't carnage as they all lurched across the road (not exactly a quiet B-road...), can of Carling welded to one hand, box of 12 cradled in the other in a manner that would shockTufty.

    Bloody football...

    Is it really any different from any UK city on any given weekend night? Put a few thousand pissed up bams onto the streets and there will be fighting and the odd stabbing. Not really the sole preserve of football fans.
    I have pain!

    Sorry to disillusion you but despite your love of (expensive 4wd) motor cars and planet destroying bright lites but the lowest life of footie fan comes not from Cardiff Pompey or indeed Glasgow but from London and racist "cockney wanker" will sport a splendid Combat18 tattoo. You can get pics of him and has mates at Stamford Bridge or maybe at your splendid national stadium if there is a club visiting with fans who can be bullied. You may even catch sight of him in Moscow next week......

    Yep I don't think many people in Cardiff or Pompey aspire to move to the beautiful suburban area around Wembley. Don't know about the behaviour of Rangers fans - doesn't seem that there was too much bother for 100,000 very drunk blokes - whenever I've been out in Glasgow I've found it one of the best cities for friendliness and I'm English (well I'm half Scottish but I grew up in England).

    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    I don't know why they feel the need to attack the police in this country, they're not really like the monkeys you get in Spanish and Italy (who often do really need a good kicking)

    It'll be clean and sparkling again by Sunday morning. There's a game there on Sunday. The Conference Play Off Final (for a place in the Football League) between Exeter City and Cambridge Utd. Not quite as big a crowd expected but still in the region of 50000.

    It was meant as a jab at football hooligans exclusively "the nasty element" and I can see how it can very easily be read as anyone not from London being the missing link. Sorry for any offence caused :oops: , I was at work at the time and as I am not paid to be on bikeradar I may not have expressed myself clearly in my rush to not have to explain myself to my manager if caught.

    I hate Chelsea Tractors, unless you have a real need for one and I cant imagine what that would be in London they are just "look at me, arent I great". The lights on the Stadium arent on all of the time, just event days :oops: Thanks, as Stadia go, it is quite Splendid :D even if we are still paying for it as fans :(

    As a match attending football fan who supports a London team, I can proudly state that we arent all racist, cockney or wankers 8) . As for Combat18 :shock: Im as sure as I can be that there is no combat 18 association with my football teams fans. In fact as a supporter of the North London team that has been abused for the last 50 years for having Jewish connections and being (back then) in a Jewish area, Im confident of that. Although, we too, do have a Neanderthal group of fans who for some very weird to me reason like to fight other people. Im a roadie for Gods sake, I wouldnt trust my arms to generate enough power to be able hurt anyone :lol:

    No one should aspire to live near Wembley Stadium, its bloody awful :lol: . The Local Authority has placed signs on Wembley High Road asking people to not spit on the pavement :shock:

    Once again, not a racist or a cockney, although I cant deny not having "had a go" at the other though, once or twice you understand :D
