Football hooligans chant at the opposing teams, they use verbal and sometimes physical abuse. Often they are not true football fans and are really only there to start a fight. England football supporters are notorious for causing trouble when they follow their team abroad. I have some personal experience of this. I once went to Paris to see England play and was amazed how we as innocent supporters were ushered around like cattle. I saw a man pick up a house brick and because I was concerned about it I approached a french policeman to inform him of what I had seen. I spoke to him twice to gain his attention but he ignored me so I tapped him on his shoulder. He spun round, took my arm up behind my back and threw me to the ground! My Husband rushed over and explained why I had tapped him and then I was let free. NO apology, no thanks for doing the right thing. My question is "If the police treat the innocent fans like that do they truly expect the thugs not to kick off?"
