  1. My previously linked video would suggest the set up and then started getting closer (marching) prior to shooting tear Gas.
  2. I doubt i would get tear gassed, if the police started marching towards me, id just leave! (the fans would disperse, the police's aim) I suspect there are alot of team fans that would just do that and not try stand up to the police. Anyway our main difference is i believe the french police were doing what they thought was best to diffuse tension and you believe they had a bit of a vendetta against the english fans
  3. I dont know and i dont think England Fans deserved being attacked. I know throwing chairs and bottle at police would not help diffuse a situation though. What do you think the French Police wanted to happen, how did they intend to diffuse the situation
  4. Irish in London when? The video here (from different cameras and has a jumbled timescale) you can see at the end a chair thrown at the Police, which jumps back to the timeline prior to tear gas. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/10/england-fans-violence-marseille-police-european-championship

    Doping

    i bet a certain Spanish tennis player is shitting bricks too
  6. I at first with what media i received thought here we go England and have shifted my position with further information. I feel for most of the Engalnd fans out there and do not believe they deserve it or anything. What the Russians did was a disgrace, even more so by the MPs condoling their fans actions. I believe that alot of what has happened is due to Englands reputation and not their actions. Again, i do not agree any middle aged men should get the shit kicked out of them for supporting England. However if you want to continue with your comparisons with Ireland, i dont think you would find the same scenarios. IMHO Ireland fans would not sing antagonizing songs to the city they are in and their police, posture up at the local riot police or throw bottles at them. I take it you are under the belief the French police tear gassed England fans who were just sitting and drinking in pubs with maybe a few casual songs? Again, my stance for clarity, i believe most England fans are completely innocent and definitely do not deserve the beatings from local Ultras and Russians. I also believe that there are others who IN SOME instances are not fully squeaky clean but still do not deserve being attacked.
  7. Just out of curiosity do you then think Homosexuality is a choice?
  8. I thought there was an altercation between police and England fans prior to the game which would have been before any altercations with the Russians
  9. The difference will also no doubt be the songs sung and the attitudes. Obviously im not there so havnt seen or heard everything but have heard some of the aggressive English chants and only seen the irish fans on a jolly, cheering on french dustbin men and a swedish fan that looks a little like jimmy saville. Again this is only an assumption, but usually i thought most things kick off with chairs and fists etc after lots of shouting and swearing from each group, proving their manlyness etc..This is what i presume would have happened with the Marseille group. If no shouted or swore back would they keep getting more aggressive? What im getting at is i dont think when provoked the irish would really shout/sing/swear back and i think Irish fans would. Obviously the above may not be the case with Russian fans in the stadium which was terrible
  10. I get what your saying but those politicians may not like gay rights, doesnt mean they advocate killing Gay people. I think there is a pretty wide gap between those stances and thus they can still stand by the victims despite thier views on thier lifestyles Then again, i just cant understand anyone not wanting tighter gun control in the US
  11. Not meaning to pick you out or anything but i remember you asked this question 2/3 weeks ago and thought it surprising. In my mind, what has happened in Marseilles is nearly less surprising.
  12. This now common knowledge? or are you taking that from a post of mine a while back ( i said £400m)?
  13. Theoretically the right thread for that post but in practice this is mostly for fairly comical news articles. May be better suited in the Jimmy Saville and wider peado thread. Then again, im no Mod. I guess you dont know what evidence they have to prove intention of sexual offence. Charging for Kidnap is better than both parties getting away with it
  14. On the go, flights trains etc I have a chromecast
  15. Very tempting especially as i think its time to upgrade from the Oneplus , which has gone to shit since latest update. Issue is i often watch tv shows and ufc on my phone and this screen is probably too small. Think i will probably end of going for the premium instead but will have a think

    Running

    Everyone runs differently so its impossible to find a pair of trainers to fit you perfectly. So i guess i wear both as the trainer is to do the main adjustment and then the orthotics personalize them to my feet. This is just a guess really and could be bull but i do not pronate the same with both feet and my orthotics differ with my feet while my trainers do not
  17. Interesting, i also presume they would have a quality interior

    Running

    I go to profeet in london who i think are great, they do a video of you running in bare feet, pick the 3 best trainers for your running (i also overpronate) then film you in all 3 of them, and tell you which suit you the best. They also then build custom orthotics for you there and then. Last time i went in they felt the orthotics were still in decent condition so just reinforced them a little for free, then they moved me over from the brooks i had previously to mizunos. All seems pretty decent and not really more expensive than buying trainers elsewhere but gives me abit of piece of mind when running. Is the saving from picking up off the shelf insoles worth the risk?
  19. Oh im not anxious, i was just saying i think this will go through this week due to my "hypothetical" question
  20. Ok, so if lets say "Hypothetically" Tony and other Chinese counterparts (like the Chinese Government) put £400m in an Escrow account, i presume that they would pass all these tests? Can imagine that this deal will be going through pretty soon!!
  21. Congrats! FYI In a lot of industries (like banking where bonuses are so important) when accepting a new job offer it will be agreed that that employee will hand in their notice the day after they receive their bonus. I have also known the new firm to pay the equivalent of the bonus as like a signing on bonus (that was a Lloyds of London Underwriter). Not particularly suggesting you do this especially as they are already offering substantial money just giving you food for thought. Do your future employers know that is when you would receive your bonus? A month isnt that long, presuming you get the offer on Tuesday, itll only be 4 weeks!
  22. Chelsea! I know, I know, but my parents are season ticket holders and its difficult to not join in with the fans when you are there. Dont really care when im not at games though. Then again, i do hope they do well in Europe though, means i sometimes get a good trip out of it, Athletico in the Semis a few years ago was a great trip.
  23. It usually makes more sense from an investment point of view, presuming you believe the property will increase in value over the time of your ownership. Alot of Property investors start with 1 renting out like you do on interest only, saving the excess payments. If your house goes up in value over the next 3 years, remortgage and use that money and savings for a deposit on another house. saving and waiting another 3 years to remortgage both houses to buy another and so on till you have a large portfolio. One just has to make sure they dont over-leverage themselves to a point where they cant afford a sufficient rise in interest rates
