Ticketless fans apparently.

Fair play to the security bloke taking big hacks at the morons breaking through, he's got some guts. I hope he manages to seriously hurt a couple , maybe it will teach them a lesson
Morons on the loose again. Would this happen in another Country?
This tweet is more about the booing of Italy's anthem and pitch-invaders rather than the shocking physical violence or concerning St John's Ambulance stat being shared. Football fans need to try to be good ambassadors, which is why us singing about Russian hooligans doesn't work.Quote:

It was the police's job to sort it out as fans can, and often do, take it too far.
There will be multiple stories about England fans from last night but we need to recognise it could be any fanbase - so often England but could be anyone - and make the effort to be good ambassadors instead.
I don't say well done to them at all. they were things who took any opportunity to violently attack people. punching children in the face, a group of men kicking someone who was prone on the floor multiple times in the head.
they are thugs who should be arrested.
if you see someone going into a cinema or a concert without tickets then I'm sure you would immediately start wading in punching them left right and centre. why is it any different at a stadium?
Football fans who are drunk often act up, as City fans we know this only too well, young men getting hammered will always be a issue
It is hardly a new thing ticketless fans trying to get into a ground, lets not kid ourselves and think if it was Wales / Scotland in the final, people inside wouldnt be trying to open the emergency gates/doors to let mates in, you can only guess it went like this, a few distract security guard at gate/door, someone opens it, mates flood in
People will say " yes but its normally England fans " they do have form for it, but they also qualify for a very high % of tournaments and take good numbers away, so its likely to happen every 2 years
I must say Cardiff fans must have very short memories as some on here appear to think we are Angels
I disagree with parts of your take on it: I feel saying other fans would have done it creates the idea that it's okay at future events - it's not - and that the only reason it's England fans is because they travel in high numbers but Wales fans travelled to Bordeaux without the scenes of last night.
Admittedly, since that time we've had some internal complaints about our behaviour (not on the scale of last night) which is why I think we need to focus on creating a want to act as good ambassadors, and a sense of perspective, rather than rushing to absolve the worst behaviour of a large fanbase.
I am reminded of this tweet from earlier in the tournament :hehe:

Someone going into a cinema or a concert without tickets is completely different to the pissed up, or coked up gang mentality of the chavvies trying to bust their way into Wembley Stadium! If the scummers who did try to get in, got way with it, they will try and do it again. If they got a rightful slapping they may well think about doing it again. I know I would have, if at say 17 with a few mates I managed to push my way aggressively through a crowd to get into Ninian Park and instead of seeing a sold out game was introduced to a few hard slaps and kicks. Once again, well done the blokes who sorted those tw@ts out!
Yeah I don't like the whole "everyone else would do it" narrative that's being spun by some. Wales fans' behaviour at Euro 2016 was exemplary, earned an award from UEFA and praise from local & national press. I'm almost 100% certain Wales fans would not have done some of the things England fans have at this tournament
And ironically the red cross of St George that they love to raise aloft was adopted from the city of Genoa. Not that they would have a clue about that.
Absolute knuckle draggers.
Night and day the difference in how Welsh fans conducted themselves in France 2016. We have our fair share of idiots, for sure, but the scale of the English idiocy on display yesterday was off the charts.
News in the media saying there is apparently going to be a bid for the World Cup tournament in 2030 between UK & Ireland.

The term "pissing in the wind" comes to mind after what happened at Wembley. More stories further coming out after the utter chaos up there. Players families abused, groups of yobs trying to steal tickets off people as they approached the gates, makes you wonder what the policing (or lack of it) was like.
Even if the UK offered FIFA the biggest back hander ever (which they seem to enjoy) still won't be enough to temp FIFA to hold it here.
World Cup matches in Cardiff?....yes please. Less likely after Sunday though.
I almost don't want it, you know it would start as a joint UK and Ireland bid, but by the time it came down to it there would be one game at Hampden and the rest in England. with both semis and the final at Wembley.
