Glasgow Rangers lost to some other soccer team in the UEFA final, but these Rangers fans aren't upset about the loss.  A giant public TV screen in Manchester showing the game stopped working mid-match, spurring fans -- some of whom had been drinking for 18 hours -- to do their best Pamplona impression.  The Daily Mail has tons of great pictures like police dogs biting fans.  There was also this: A lone police officer was tripped up and stamped on as he faced up to a baying mob of hundreds of Rangers fans, video footage showed today... He is punched ...

Yesterday, I wrote of my immense frustration upon hearing that plans to show United’s European Cup final on the big screens had been cancelled, following the scenes of violence involving Rangers fans.

News has emerged today putting doubt over whether United will be able to parade the European Cup through the streets of Manchester, if we win it. ...

Manchester Soccer Hooligan Riots

Via Observation Bubble, we originally thought this was the reaction to Brahsome turning one year old. It was not. The younger Brinson informs me this was the worst soccer related violence in 25 years. Those cops didn’t have a chance. Fucking nutjobs. Share This
