    So what do ye think all?
    Are they gonna cause trouble? The german riot police are in training at the moment preparing for it all and they will most certainly be ready for them. They aint gonna take no s**t.
    Im gonna be working in an Irish pub over there during the World Cup. I hope they behave themselves during their stay, for my sake! :)

    Two World Wars and One World Cup, Two World Wars and One World Cup, Two World Wars and One World Cup. I can see it now, German Police and Watercannon :D The only time I have ever seen English fans behaving abroad was during Euro 96, As they were able to get high on Dutch Cannabis:eek: and were too doped to fight.

    I hope it kicks off - something interesting to watch on the news. When is it on?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,773 ✭✭✭Binomate


    Deport anyone caught causing trouble and ban them from the country.

    Will be living in back in Cologne during the world cup. England-Sweden is taking place there. Oh joy. Hey Tiesto, what city you going to be working in?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Demetrius


    Well hear something about them alright

    I must ask though, do Germans have riots? Are they carried out in an orderly, efficient manner, goals achieved when set?

    ill be in Nurnberg. English vs Trinidad will be there.
    Im glad that bavaria is one of the ,if not the most policed province in Germany.
    On a regular day in Nurnberg, you would see police on every street corner which is great. So i cant imagine what its gonna be like during the world cup!

    Afaik England hates Germany when it's about football, so it's not so unlikely, but I think they should be more worried about the Dutch fans...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,483 ✭✭✭Töpher


    Saw the riot police and dogs etc in training a few weeks ago at the Hertha/Schalke match at the olympiastadion in Berlin, (they weren't expecting trouble, it was routine practice to be prepared for the World Cup big occassions) anyone stupid enough to cause trouble around those things is asking to be brought home in a wooden box! By Christ, I've always had a bit of a fear of dogs, but these things were non-canine! Plus, their handlers had submachine guns!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Tiesto


    haha yeah will be interesting to see the response of the German police if something does kick off. But as i said, i think they will be welllll prepared.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,257 ✭✭✭SoupyNorman


    Just watching Sky news and they had the bare faced ckeek to say and I quote "England fans have a POOR reputation abroad" ...........

    There will be english bobbys on the beat in germany to watch the english fans, a good idea me finks!

    :D

    Wow, they must be terrible then. You've only seen them behave once? Apparently their 1908 tour of Bohemia and Hungary was also uneventful. But everything else was just a mess, sure didn't they destroy Switzerland in 1954 (I can still see all those broken cuckoo clocks), Mexico in 1986 and both Korea and Japan in 2002.

    :rolleyes:

    The report that I just saw on the news said that the police were more concered with the Polish and Dutch fans, and that one of the England games will be somewhere where there is a big German hooligan gang that they are expecting to be going out to bait the English for a bit of a rumble.

    I can honestly say that from my time spent in Germany they really do not take any sh!t. I predict there will be riots and all that crap but i think you will see far more of the police dealing with it.

    The Germans are a very proud people and will most likely have a zero tolerance policy.

    All I can say is English skinheads Vs. German riot police...my money is on the riot police.

    Permission to laugh out loud.

    Netwhizkid, if you're going to completely make up stuff to smear the English and impress us all with your globetrotting insights, you should at least check out the stuff first.

    Damn, just wish I spotted that before kdjac...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,206 ✭✭✭kensutz


    So because they're in training you automatically think that they're going to just prepare for the English fans. I'll be going myself and I'll be going to a few away games during the qualification for the European Championships so I will see at first hand what will happen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,372 ✭✭✭kirving


    Bring on the water cannon! I wonder will any terroeist try to make an attack at the word cup.

    That's probably Cologne if what I was told was true when I lived in Germany

    i reckon the poles too. I believe they are already practicing. Something about German skinheads


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,255 ✭✭✭anonymous_joe


    Dutch and German hooligans are much worse these days. English football fans are amusingly still the bogeymen. Most of the worst offenders are banned from travelling to the WC anyway.

    German police were saying they are more worried about the Eastern Europeans. Should be a laugh. Dutch, Polish, Italian and english fans, with a few of the local turkish people thrown in for good measure.
