ancientsaint Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 BBC One documentary just started, hopefully we don't get ateam from Ukraine! Great to see the Chief of Police saying that the "fans were waving to other fans and NOT making Nazi salutes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 That programme must surely raise questions as to why they were awarded the tournament. I don't trust Platini one bit and would not be surprised if there was a major bung involved. There is no way that the governing body could not be aware of the problems in Poland / Ukraine with regards to racism / violence / neo-nazism. I am actually pleased that we didn't qualify. How much trouble are the English fans going to get involved in you reckon, both those who will be fighting with the locals and those who will be teaming up with their like-minded white supremist ****wits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Ross Kemp years ago doing one of his programmes on gangs and they were in Poland. The hooliganism over there is as bad or worse than it's ever been here. The Police are generally pretty organised outside of the stadium with fans arriving on special football trains getting transferred onto buses and getting a police escort to the away end. (similar to what happens at Swansea no less!) Inside the ground is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wish i was Joe McGurn Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 My word. The poles and ukrainians are a tad racsist. Who would of thought it. Lucky they never held a tournament in south Africa...... They did what ???? How many race crimes take place in England in comparison to Ukraine, I wonder.

ryangordon86 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yeah, and i would love to visit Scotland. Championship Manager fans would like to thank AGF for producing Mads Jorgensen. One of the best young players in the game around the year 2000!! Seriously though, would love to visit Denmark even though beer is very expensive in Scandanavia!

sjfcsteve Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Cannot wait for the draw. The 25th of June could be a big day of celebration if we get someone that fans can travel to. I just hope it is not Aktobe, Anzhi or somewhere in Israel. Poland would be nice as it is well connected with cheap flights and since there is a reasonably sized Polish community in Perth, they might come to the game in Perth and we could even attract a few new supporters and that Polish section on our website would be put to good use Sparta Prague or FC twente would be fantastic as well! Cannot wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro frae the Hedro Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Personally hoping for Servette. Sleasyjet to Geneve and a couple of nights with friends in Trois Torrents. Having said that anywhere that is fairly practical to get to would be good. Don't fancy having to get a week off work to spend 3 days on a train/bus/camel or whatever!

Cannot wait A Polish team would be a nightmare, ask any Dundee United fan about the Poles in Dundee last year, no rules when it comes to football violence with that lot, anybody is fair game for them and we will not be any different, be warned. PS The only Pole ive seen at Mc Diarmid is the one with the First Division Championship flag on. Edited May 31, 2012 by Paul N Shark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiangsu Sainty Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) 'no rules when it comes to football violence for that lot' 'that lot' = poles? I would hope that a st. johnstone forum wans't seen by a wider audience as carrying such offensively sweeping statements as that, even if people will be distracted by the BBC's recent scare-mongering. Im not even part of the PC brigade, but I think you should be a hell of a lot more concise in your descriptions, 'a small part of the Slask fans who travelled to dundee last year' rather than 'poles' Anyone remember when we briefly became public enemy number 1 in South Korea?

ANDY5565 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Poland or Danemark, both good countries and their nationals are were balanced! would be good for the Polish community in Perth and shire, if we play a Polish team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS The only Pole ive seen at Mc Diarmid is the one with the First Division Championship flag on. Completely over-hyped what happened last year in Dundee with nowhere near the level of violence that some portrayed. I personally got on great with a bunch of Slask fans that I met on the way to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were British based Polish thugs who support various Polish teams as well as Slask thugs in Dundee, and it wasn,t a minority mate.
