The Russians literally attacked the English fans in the stadium as soon as the final whistle went last night. There's been French fans involved all along and I saw reports last night that the trouble between Northern Ireland and Polish fans was actually them being attacked together by French fans. It's a soccer thing, not just an English thing.

The Northern Ireland and Poland fans have been getting on very well, what happened last night was that BOTH Polish and Northern Ireland fans were attacked by locals while enjoying some drinks together. The French police have confirmed this. There have been no clashes between Northern Irish and Polish fans. I'm only saying this because others on this MB on other forums are only to happy to leave the boot into Northern Ireland fans at every opportunity.
