obviously an attack on a familiy is an absolute disgrace. anyway they were at the wrong spot at the wrong time but these british so called fans/pissheads that have nothing better to do and travel to foreign places and behave like animals are also a disgrace. they cannot expect of opponent so called 'fans' to just sit back and watch them disrespecting in their drunken manner these foreign places and their people. again they should not have attacked this family but should have taught a lesson to these mongrels i am talking about.
after all i am sure we will see a good game tonight. these twats, on both sides, should rather enjoy the privilege to be able and go and watch top matches like these. ciao
