What a farse...... if it goes off then only the stupid will be hanging around.

Turkey a dangerous place mate IMO if you are a England supporter, thats why all this fuss about the football match.

They think its going to kick off! and you will be stupid to go.

No ..I'm not going...And If I did i wouldnt be worried. lets hope that noone gets hurt and if they do its the muppets that deserve it..(On bothsides)

Doesnt look good.... The media are not helping this....

If the British Police stop some of the thugs who might try to attend .From leaving the UK that might help...

The turks will be very mob handed at the airport. I would expect a lot to get turned round and sent home.
Its better to have a segregated area for the fans just in case some stupid ..(But not thugs) get in. It would be madness to enter such a stadium. If youve never been it makes chelsea look like a Ikea...... I wouldnt be suprised if some of the turks want to have a fight...same as the english..But mix in the press the Turkish police (Who are not very "PC"!!!)and some good old alcohol and its not looking good.


If you go ...Keep well away from Taxim 24 hours a day. Stay up on the european side of Istanbul..Maybe hotel by the airport.And |If it does go wrong Look for Turks trying to help....They will and are your best bet.


What a shame.... Scum always ruin the day.
