Subject: RE: BS: UK football riots. A minority of idiots?
Whoops! No celebrations after all. Apparantly is is OK for hundreds of thousands of Scottish and Russian fans to use Manchester for ther 'festivities' but the Manchester United homecoming has been cancelled due to safety fears.
Ah well. Maybe the genuine fans who are complaining about the councils lack of integrity will think again when it comes to the next elections. I doubt it though. Maybe they will think twice about turning a blind eye to hooliganism? Doubt that as well. Sorry guys. You have brought it on yourself.
At least I will be safe in the knowledge that when my American cousin is supporting England in a Memphis bar while I take the oppositions side we will be safe from the idiots that plague us here. There may be a different set of idiots but that has nothing to do with football... ;-P
