Doesn't sound like fighting from what's been said. Just sounds like someone getting jumped. It's not football violence last night, it was just some cunts looking for trouble.
Apologies Nool, I had this twat down as just being a bellend. It he's worse. It's come out that he's a member of the Schalke "ultras".
I think the term of Ultras is becoming a joke.
Growing up here the rivarly between the Bucharest clubs was fierced. Numerous incidents, but they had some honour involved. They didn't pick on couples or 10 vs 1. Now it almost gone, with 20 vs 1 if possible, and rocks and knives.
Being a kid at that time I understood that, until I saw an interview from a River vs Boca game, with River winning 2-0 and a journo asked a Boca fan what is his opinion of the result and he replied, what 2-0? It finished 2-2.
The journo didn't understand and he continued: "It was 2-0 on the field, but afterwards we killed 2 of them so it was 2-2 at the end of the day".
No words how to explain that.
The term ultra has always been a joke.
They're called hooligans and thugs here, and we were thrown out of European competition for it.
To call them anything else just glorifies them
