yeah heh
in Russian, for Ukies it's "hohol" and for Ruskis it's "moskal" - but we always say it in a non-derogatory way

Originally posted by Xavier Moriarty theres a great documentary on european hooligans but i forgot whats it called, when i do ill send you the link. you really oughta watch it to understand what this means to them

Probably the most comprehensive series I've seen was "The Real Football Factories" with Danny Dyer. He travels all over Europe and embeds himself in the firms, gives you a pretty good idea of how they work.

Originally posted by LightsOut Sidenote - The Russians actually had permission for this holiday march from the city of Warsaw. Pretty big fuck up by the city if I may say so...

imagine what would happen if they didn't let them march? russians would act even more like victims. the polish officials definitely were stuck in a hard place. the marchers were protected by polish police and a lot of them. i dunno how much more welcoming they could have been.

trust me, you mix booze and football and years of tensions and you get this.

i even heard that it was russians dressed as polish fans stirring up trouble.

what about the banner? "this is russia" ummm, no it's not. lol.

Originally posted by FunkyCrew and this aint supporting your team I don't see other countries doing this, do you?

the march was a russian national holiday thing. i don't know what holiday but basically i think like "russia day" or something. they should have marched in russia, not another country.

yeah equivalent to Canada Day here - and of course, nothing to do with Warsaw or soccer

Originally posted by geroin it's very common for idiots to bring in their soviet flags to games when russians play, although it's ok most of the time i don't think they realized it would be ok in Poland, it has nothing to do with provoking anything trust me.

you really think that they are that dumb?

anyways, what i wanna know is how are people watching these games during the day on their computers?

i thought i was not going to get into this tournament but now i am hooked.
