Surely they can prove that Bladder & Co were taking backhanders and therefore the selection process is void, England or Australia should get the WC in 2018, both have the stadia / infrastructure already to organise at relatively short notice. Maybe Scotland could joint host with 4 big stadiums and get an auto qualification!
We sure could use a break like that.

England, France, Germany, Poland, Russia and others could all be banned for hooliganism.
Spain, Italy, Croatia etc; banned for recent racist incidents.
Not too many teams will be left and those with the largest TV audiences would be gone. Can't see the sponsors standing for that.

So England who are firmly involved in the current violence in the Euro's awarded the WC ?

Well their bid was legit and above board and the best one when judged impartially, as for fans/violence I think its too soon to lay blame, quite possible they've been provoked and reacted.

If that's the only way we can get Scotland to a major championship, then yes, we should turn a blind eye and let Scotland play, to be fair, they are never going to qualify any other way😃

I think it's clear that whilst there has been provocation there have also been incidents where they haven't. Even when provoked the reaction isn't always justified

Eject the countries from the competition they are taking part in and ban them from the next major international tournament. If the sponsors pull out and there's less money in the game, then the top teams in countries stop becoming elitist and the lower tiers have a chance to catch up, not bad situation.
Arrest them and put them on a plane. Then when they go through border control in their respective countries they have their passports confiscated.

I think you will find that quite a few European countries have greater number of football violence incidents per week than England have per season. Just look at the Ultra's of many Italian or Eastern European sides, it's only because we don't hear about it that we think it doesn't go on.
Of course we have a few idiots, every country does, but I think we are suffering more from reputation and history than actual current fan intent.

Without evidence, trial or a chance to defend yourself.. mmmmmm
I was in France in 98. Portugal 04. Germany 06.. Ive been to Bratislava, Lichtenstein etc.... Until you have witnessed how chaotic it can be you cannot come out with a statement like that..
Also you realise how good our policing of football is in the UK compared to mainland Europe...

There were plenty of reasons why Russia (and Qatar for that matter) should never have been given the World Cup. Events this weekend are no surprise and strengthen that argument but probably too late.
I hope nobody is daft enough to go there in 2018.
Seems like this is creeping back into the game across the continent. There have been problems domestically in recent years and England fans are clearly far from innocent in the current trouble.
I also hope Scotland never hosts a major football tournament. Who would want to see scenes like those in Marseille repeated in our cities? Our own fans are bad enough!

And pigs might fly!
It does not and never will work like that and why should it. The vast majority of any nation's football fans are not involved in these incidents and yet many on here advocate that tthey should all be punished.
Exactly what ive heard too, the Northern Irish and Polish fans were having a sing song and defended themselves together rather than the rumour saying they were fighting each other..

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
My lad has just said that apparantly UEFA have said that if England or Russia cause any more trouble in the finals they will be kicked out.

Big decision that one.
I was just reading the one where Vardy's wife Rebekah (her mum and dad can't spell) got tear gassed, what a shame 😂😂😂

Interesting that UEFA only charged Russia in connection with the trouble in the stadium as they said the violence outside the stadium was outside of their remit but now they are threatening to throw England out if there is any more trouble anywhere.
And it also means that French fans now have an added incentive to start trouble with Russian or English fans if they think they could get thrown out of the competition.
