Considering the amount of criticism levelled at our government by the press and public (and in these forums) about their handling of asylum seekers, what have they done to counteract this?
Allowed only 20 Albanians to come to the match tonight, and those 20 have to prove they have been to a previous World Cup related game and gone back home afterwards.
Now, it may just me being cynical, but haven't Albania been part of the World Cup for a while now?
And surely there's a difference between people coming to watch a football match and someone running through the channel tunnel?
"Government,you suck"
"No, look! We are allowing 20 fans to come to the football, we're controlling the asylum seekers! We are effective and bothered!"
"Um..what about the 150 every single night that come on the ferries and in boots of cars?"
"Shut up! Look how we control the football asylum seekers!"
Yeah right.
So 20 fans (there are more stewards than Albania fans tonight) because "Asylum seekers need to be controlled".
People fleeing from a country with a decent enough stability, no internal brutalisation and a football team?
I don't think so
Can we say "Manipulation of The Masses through Media"?
See how effective our government is by banning all but 20 football fans from watching their national team play.
Ok, so they do nothing about the flooding of the Chunnel and Ports but boy, do they got footie fans under control.
Shame they aren't so righteous when it comes to banning football hooligans from going abroad.

I heard the same thing on the radio this morning.
A bit pathetic really, IMHO. As has already been said, hundreds find their way across by other means, so is this really worth it?
I just wish they could be as effective in stopping hooligans going to matches, echoing Goaty's thoughts there.
Also, genuine question about asylum seekers now, as I don't know that much about it - nor do I preted to:
If they ask for asylum, can't we just say "No" and send them back?
It seems everyone who asks for asylum gets it.
