I actually wish the team well. But just you watch the headlines should things go wrong!

I rest my case.

The plonkers that do these things don't need football as an excuse to create havoc they do it ever year, irrespective of fotball, they're just brain dead morons not football fans

Irks me too ... especially as it should be obvious that it is hockey that should take precedence ... esp. with the Vancouver Winter Olympics coming up.

Ah, so you enjoy hockey

The beautiful game on ice; played by the likes of Mark "The Moose" Messier, Dave "Cement Head" Semenko ... and who can forget Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe.

However, I will be on the edge of my seat ... make that bar stool ... next summer cheering for England

I think that they have a decent chance of making the last four ... and if they get that far, who knows.

Spot on Jaysay. I was a policeman for over 25-years and part of the remit (then as now) included policing football matches at grounds all across the county, where I saw for myself the barbaric standards of behaviour exibited by these morons who paid no regard to the fact that they were ruining the pleasure of genuine fans.

Sad.

"Barbaric standards of behaviour"

Sounds like the Detroit Redwings

As long as I have wandered over to hockey again, might as well mention that, with hockey, it's sort of backwards .... all the mayhem is on the ice; the crowds, though loud and loyal, don't usually cause too many problems ... except it their team wins the Stanley Cup ... then there is a good-natured riot in the streets.

If it's broadcast over there, I recommend the world junior hockey championship .... starts boxing day, and ends when the Canadians pick up the gold medal. All these kids will be in the NHL ... it's great hockey.
