Everton fans Attacked in Lille

[Jacko93]

Something badly badly wrong going on here you know. Theyre trying to intimidate the travelling Blues. Wouldn't surprise me, one little bit if the attack last night was known about, maybe even coordinated by the police and known memebers in odredr for them to 'have their fun'

I was gonna take my Mum to this. Glad i didn't.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Frogs.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

no way this ends well now....

 

[Jacko93]

Its mad how the police in Nuremburg, the last time we had a following like this, wrote letters to the club, saying thankyou for being so well behaved, with a total of 5 arrests I think, all for D&D, then you get this from the French police. Smacks of massive, massive mismanagment

 

[Huyton Layne]

Hmm french police is insane heavy handedness non-shocker. I really hope the Lille fans get treated well when they come over. This has been down to a bunch of idiots that probably aren't a group of fans and their police.

 

[luimneach]

Hoping everyone keeps safe and no hassle starts later at ground
French cops seem to be looking to make a name for themselves unfortunately so an english team will do to hassle their fans! Just passed through area 2 days ago and seemed quiet there

 

[Blue 1]

This is awful. The club needs to do something.

 

[riddick]

And this is the country thats going to host the Euros. Fantastic.

 

[obc]

Unreal.

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

 

[Kankurette]

Ugh. I hope it doesn't get any worse. Stay safe, Blues in Lille.

 

[toffee matt]

British teams have had trouble in lille before

France isnt the nicest place to watch Football

 

[Boss_Blue]

Sounding like a load of victims here. Not read all of it but to suggest an unprovoked attack has happened is naive at best.

There are countless examples of fans being mistreated by police in England and Europe during away games.

To suggest it is naive to assume that this was unprovoked is contrary to all of the reports coming from travelling blues, the club and visiting journalists.

Until I hear otherwise I'm quite happy to assume that this is unprovoked shthousing from the French police.

The [Poor language removed] French, lids.

The French

If it's proven that the French police have been heavy-handed and aggressive then the club need to make sure everyone knows it. It'll be too easy for certain agenda-driven media to portray it as 'drunken football fans cause havoc'.
