What realy bugs me is that it now seems to be acceptable to behave in an anti-social way as long as it is in the name of football. It is perfectly OK for young men to take up the whole street and shout loudly as long as they are shouting 'England'. It is fine for people to take over the whole pub and piss all over the floor of the gents when the urinals are all in use as long as they are football fans 'having a bit of a laugh'. It's fine for young women to flash their tits at passers-by as long as they are flashing under the flag of St George.

Don't make me laugh. Why should these idiots show any respect for other countries. They show no respect for their own. Ask any of them when St Georges day is. Ask them what symbols represent England. Ask them what people best represent England. What will they answer? I suspect, in order, "I dunno"; "The chip butty and a pint of lager" and "Posh and Becks".

I am no means anti-football. I have enjoyed both matches to date. But what would happen if we started fights in the name of our respective folk clubs? What if we very loudly and agressively supported our local morris teams? What if any other so called 'supporters' started as much trouble as these 'fans' do? The activity would be banned. That's what.

Quite easy one to solve then surely? Ban all public displays of football. No fans. No trouble. Easy;-)
