Everyone needs to watch Russia's hooligan army on bbc4. Makes English thugs look like a bunch of wimps. Scary scary stuff.
Saw this ... was pretty spectacular. They are very organised, regimented, follow a very strict fitness regime, do not consume alcohol on fight day (sorry, should've said match day), move in small numbers and never get isolated. They are more like a well-trained militia than a bunch of hoolies up for a ruck ... no wonder the English didn't know what hit them in France.
Lad I know got put in a coma after a Rugby match. Really nice guy, some lads just beat him up. Not nice at all. He's still not in good shape all these years latter.
