What about actually letting them fight each other for 10 minutes in a controlled situation.

Funny? It's better than that it's hilarious ... What's she doing causing trouble or was she singled out as a potential threat 😂😂😂
I bet at some stage there'll be some folk looking for headlines out of this and cash! My story at the Euro's 😂😂😂

And in the majority of the incidents locals or the local police have attacked the English fans.

But we are all European, why are we not sitting round campfires at night playing guitar and having a sing song.

Indeed pigs might fly, but I saw on a twitter feed that UEFA may disqualify England and Russia if the violence continues, so you might just see a Gloucester Black Spot coming into land at Stanstead after all.
I agree the vast majority of fans are innocent when it comes to violence, but like a lot of things there are always a few rotten apples in the barrel, who spoil it for the rest, so unless all present during the violent scenes at arrested, held till after the tournament is over, then processed and dealt with accordingly, the only other way is to disqualify the team(s) in question, so the fans leave or don't arrive in the first place.

That's what I was thinking about with Vardy's wife, one minute you are looking at a handbag in a shop window and the next you're soaked 😂😂😂

Talk is cheap in the world of UEFA (and FIFA). Remember how they were going to come down hard on racism.
They ended up fining Nicklas Bendtner more for displaying a sponsor's name on his boxers than they did a national association for blatant racist chanting.

I believe an awful lot of the trouble is without provocation not all, as with all teams there is a minority looking for trouble. Football banning orders aren't a complete solution as I read 97% of those subject to these have had passports confiscated yet on Thursday England fans still allegedly caused trouble. Friday and Saturday most was unprovoked attacks the same as the stadium trouble last night. And the attacks in Nice by the French on polish and Irish fans. PSG fans attacking Turks this afternoon.
Those that have travelled away in Europe will understand, and look beyond the newspaper headlines.

And that addresses the problem how? Banning the teams doesn't all of a sudden mean those who want a fight are going to go home.

The whole thing is a sad state of affairs in what should be an exciting month of football. Neanderthals the lot of them with very sad lives.

Precisely!
It's as if people believe that the national associations pay these hooligans to be there.
After all we have had instances in this country where "fans" of one club attack those of another club at railway stations and motorway services even though their two teams were not playing each other.
If hooligans want to fight they will regardless .

Our media, just tend to show ours though.
Maybe they should show all the off-field stuff, instead of the Curtis cup.:rofl:

Could be big problems for UEFA. With the trouble so far that will be England, Russia, Turkey, France. Germnay and Ukraine all being sent home. I can't believe the Poles and the Croatians will stay out of it for too long. Wales and the two Irelands must be hoping it carries on as they'd be given byes to the semis.

Some of the reply's are a bit strange .
Each countrys FA should be in full control of their own match tickets through a vetted membership scheme
if there is fighting inside the ground the attributable to a certain country they are chucked out & banned
Surely there is a way to travel ban anyone involved in this kind of carry on , electronically flagging / tagging passports
People found guilty of this via video evidence should be jailed when home ,
Not sure how it would work but more control over alcohol sales would be a help
Authorities have to follow through on their threats but as someone mentioned earlier more of a fine for advertising than for racism , cowards the lot of them

Too many travel without match tickets so not sure what FA's can do about that.
In addition it could be claimed that they are encouraged to do so by the organisers with fan parks which also sell alcohol.
I appreciate that other sports are not cursed by this scourge of hooliganism but it still is a societal problem, not just a football issue.
After all if there was no football does anyone really think these yobs would suddenly start behaving like choirboys.
