The worst thing is reading that French police had stopped the last perpetrator(s) for 2 hours, found flares etc... in his car (very manly Renault Twingo just to add), and they just let him go after 2 hours. And probably same people will come to this match and try to disrupt this, French police and security won't do shit, we'll get disqualified, and these bums will get what they want, and the worst thing is knowing that those bums probably will have no consequences.

Reminds me about when I was a referee for one of Sweden largest youth tournaments, we got chased of the field and threatened with beheading by a Mexican team and had to ref the game after (had two ref teams on place, one got chased off and the second stepped in to help gain control of the situation and team 2 had the game after) and the Mexican team + coaches stayed outside our dressingroom waiting for us, we told representatives of the tournament that we wanted them gone and their answer was "but they have to be allowed to shower", while true, I could accept it if they actually went to their dressingroom and started showering, but now they just waited for us to show up... Ended with us calling the cops by ourself and they sent out a patrol that made sure the team left the arena and that the second game could get started without issues.

permalink embed parent

[–] Sweden Aurori 2 points 2 hours ago*

To be fair, threats and the possibility of things happening is a big thing that the referees deal with every game. There are always security meetings with the ref, representatives of the arena, the Uefa and the police before the games. IF they feel that the security is low enough so it doesn't guarantee minimum security they will cancel the game if it's not fixable before the game. In this case I would say that they'll have more guards keeping people from entering the field and be on the lookout for things that might happen. It takes a HUGE amount of shit to actually cancel a game of such calibre.

[–] Arsenpailndi60 65 points 3 hours ago

I seriously doubt that the "hooligans" intend to hurt the referee. This seems like a win win chess move by the Croatian FA to publicly call out UEFA & French security as a defense mechanism. If there happen to be stoppages due to flares, then Croatia FA can say they "warned" the French beforehand to deflect blame. If there aren't any stoppages due to flares being thrown, which is most likely, then Croatian FA can say they've stopped a real and concrete threat.

Translation: Will there be an end These cant be true! New attack on The Blazers (nickname). New plan for the attack vs Spain announced! After they rioted last night in St. Ettienneu, it looks like the hooligans who want to hurt the Croatian national team and players, still didn't have enough. Before the game with Czech Republic on social media a plan was announced on how the wildlings (thats the best translation I can think of) are going to sabotage the team in France. Day later, after the big shame, again, on social media, new plan started going around, but this time for the game against Spain in Bordeaux played on Tuesday. Plan was announced on their Facebook page by Torcida Split 1950, who has a solid following, with a rude comment: - Here, the man has announced another plan. There will be backup from U.V. (I am guessing another tifos group) In the picture, is the plan of the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux stadium, where you can see all the different paths on the stands towards the pitch. So far it isn't sure if its a real plan, but it should be taken into consideration Edit: I would like to point out this was published 18.06.2016. at 13:32 (3 days ago) and most of those plans that popped up are considered fake (at least thats the info I got from our media)

[–] TheBlowersDaughter23 1 point 5 minutes ago Thanks for your input, I had no idea it was a fake. I thought it was real because of the last map that was posted in another thread which was kind of accurate.

Jesus, this Euro is being incredibly problematic... Well, let's hope this doesn't happen. I mean, I guess they have an excuse to protest, since the Croatian FF is so corrupted, but... this is not the right way, guys... :-S

[–] Tottenahpagmbadboy 1 point 1 hour ago Hotspur I've been at a few games in several different cities (currently at Polska Ukraine half time) and security has been getting worse and worse. First place (Lille) they touched me a little too much, now in Marseille all they did was pat down my pockets and are letting in huge backpacks. Nothing too terrible has happened in France yet but I keep worrying that something might because of the seeming lack of proper security

Everybody expected some terrorist shit to happen, nothing happened yet but dumbasses threw beers and kicks so the security is awful. Drunk fans acting like apes aren't the priority here. They're doing a fine job.

if this actually happens I'd be real fucking scared if I was anywhere in France right now. whoever is in charge of security failed to stop those hooligans already even after being warned. now they are warned from all sides and also know the identity of a lot of the criminals involved. if they can't even stop them then it's obvious that any terrorist threat could also not be stopped at all.

[–] Croatia AV15 8 points 3 hours ago

Stop overreacting. They have flares which are like the size of candles and obv wont be picked up by metal detectors. Nothing apart from full body pat downs on every person can stop them coming in. There were flares at the last Hungary game too. Sure, assholes didn't throw them on the pitch.
