UEFA warning to England fans

UEFA today reacted to a second night of trouble in Portugal by warning that they may take action if disturbances spread to England matches.
Twenty England fans were in custody today after a second night of rioting on the Algarve as mounted officers and riot police clashed with up to 400 bottle-throwing supporters in Albufeira.


UEFA said they were viewing the trouble as being unrelated to the tournament but said that position would change if there was any crowd disturbances surrounding England's games.

A UEFA spokesman told the Press Association: 'From our perspective we view it as unrelated to the tournament. It is not being viewed as football hooliganism by UEFA.

How many of you follow the Euro Cup?

I went on holiday to Albufeira 10 years ago. there was no football, but plenty of violence on offer from tanked up yobs, mainly Brits but the odd German.

The fact is our licensing laws mean we drink a lot faster than most countries. Some folk just can't handle the drink, and don't seem to realise that overseas bars are open much later so they can pace themselves.

If I was in a bar and a bunch of 20 or 30 yobs with football scarves arrived and they were obviously pissed I would find another bar. In Albufeira there are plenty of good bars off the "strip" where you won't find any yobs but can still have a good time.

Anyone arrested should be deported. They were either being violent, or too ignorant to realise a threatening situation and make themselves scarce before the trouble started.

No UK football follower or newspaper reader was in any doubt before this tourney that the police were probably going to be pretty hard line
