England fans riot for the 2nd night in a row. What a surprise. I mean, I really thought that those banning orders and the co-operation between English and Portugese police would have prevented any trouble. No, wait, I didn't because this happens every single time.
See:
Burberry moron horde + beer + dirty foreigners taunting Burberry moron horde with their 'faaahny langwidge' and sophisticated ways = FIGHTS, BOTTLINGS, FLYING CHAIRS & UNPROVOKED ATTACK
And, surprise surprise, it's not the English fans fault. Burberry mouth opens: "Nah, guv'nor, nuffink to do wif us. Them police on their 'orses dun it. Truncheons flyin' everywhere. Bish bash bosh, right on me balls - how am I gonna impregnate my own sister now? I wanna breed more little hooli...FANS, you know? Bleedin' foreigners! I'll kill 'em, kill 'em all."
But there's more. BBC reporter - impartial, even-handed BBC reporter - talks over footage of mounted police dragging thugs from the riot:
"But there's blame on both sides."
No there bloody isn't! A mob of drunken thugs start flinging tables through windows. So that's England fans, not the police, who are breaking the law. The police have to respond. I've seen hooligans in action, there is only one way to deal with them, and it isn't saying, "Oh, so you've been throwing tables, intimidating and attacking people. Well, that's not very nice but let's think about WHY you threw that table. Let's talk about your feelings and your troubled childhood. Why are you biting me?"
Hooligans in a group want a fight, and they'll pick one with inanimate objects, innocent bystanders or the police. And once they have picked a fight then I've got no problem with the police charging in to protect innocent people and their property. If some gormless lout gets truncheoned upside the head and lands in hospital then good, he deserved it. And if some innocent England fan also gets truncheoned upside the head then...well, ooops, sorry mate, but ask yourself this: what were you doing in a mob of baying hooligans? It's blatantly obvious when trouble is about to kick off: walk away, find another bar.
But this happens every time. And unless something changes then we'll see the same riots and fights in Germany in 2006 - because England get followed around Europe by violent, intimidating thugs.
So kick England out of the tournament. People might learn their lesson. Not the thugs, who are incapable of learning, but the other people, who tolerate English supporters singing "I'd rather be a p*ki than a Turk". Kick them out. Kick them out. Kick them out now.

So what is the definition of a riot?
>(not saying it did - could be a possibility though).
Azul, I couldn't help but notice you left that part out.
> There were 12 arrests. TWELVE arrests.

Yes, because the amount of people arrested depicts how many people were rioting...

Because oddly enough, that's the excuse they always use. And this isn't the only thing going around, you know. Others are saying that isn't the case at all.

TRAITER!!!1
Hardly a riot is it?
Besides, if you weren't at the place where it happened how can you presume it wasnt police brutality which incited a lot of it? (not saying it did - could be a possibility though).
How would a banning stop the violence? I mean, it'd just be the same in the next tournament, if not worse. It's impossible to control, these 'firms' pride themselves on taking huge numbers abroad to cause trouble.
Of course when the same thing happened in Belgium 2000 with Turkish hoolies on a larger scale it was simply 'celebrations slightly out of hand' Ahaha.

I know what you mean..
