Everton fans Attacked in Lille

[KevMirallas]

Is it normal to sendplain clothes officers into crowds for the sake? Some weird tactics being deployed here.

Utterly ridiculous. Completely illogical.

Oh no.

This is terrible.

I have been phoning up some mates out there but haven't got through to anyone.

Same here mate,can't get through.

OKeefe is reporting that a blue took one to the head.

He just said "someone" had taken one in the head.

Allegedly some Lille Hooligans - a small number - charged through, assaulted a couple people, and hid in a shop. THat was the pretense for the ensuing carnage.

True that

By all accounts appalling treatment from the Police. Poor Planning and Poor Assessment of the situation.
Not good enough...

 

[KevMirallas]

That explains the picture of the police protecting Lille fans in a shop. This is a debacle, this. Feel awful for everyone there, there was such a terrific mood around all of the travelling supporters.

Just spoke to some of my family over there, said they are ok. Everyone be careful ffs

French OB in not knowing what the [Poor language removed] they're doing shocker!

My train pulls up in Lille in 15mins

*gulp

Despite apparently overwhelming evidence to the contrary, you just know this will be turned back on the club.

Glad to hear that mate.

 

[Barlows Boots]

I remember two OB pointing machine guns at my head a few years back as I cycled past Zarkozy's gaff...I'd stopped outside to have a fag and as soon as I started opening my rucksack....they were on me

*arseholes

 

[royalblue66]

Glad to hear that mate.

Thanks mate,just hope it's ok for everyone else.

 

[Khalekan]

Unreal.

The Russians treat us like old friends, and the French welcome us with metal chairs to the head, tear gas, and rubber bullets.

And UEFA will close down Russian grounds for racist chanting but will do nothing about potentially murderous attacks on visiting fans in France.

Those Lille teds would face greater sanctions for making monkey chants than glassing people.

Sticks and stones etc.

^^ the 'poor language removed' was the slang word for a cigarette - dunno why it was removed

 

[BlueShark]

Disgraceful actions being taken by the French authorities. Why on earth are there plain clothed police in there?

Stay safe out there Blues.
