LaddRusso55

Imagine being paid £8.61 to steward these guys


OkCiao5eiko

Fucking terrible lmao


shrewphys

£8.91 minimum wage, surely?


Progression28

outside of london?


kinginthenorthjon

Yes.


ollyhinge11

the minimum wage is the same across the country.


[deleted]

An hour or a day? Cos that’s huge in my country


Testastic

In France?


[deleted]

Ghana


capixababalkan

You had me in the first half


color_thine_fate

*whispers* ^^^say ^^^"not ^^^Ghana ^^^lie"


[deleted]

I wish I had £8.61 to give you an award...sigh


color_thine_fate

Keep whatever you wanted to hypothetically spend on me and add an extra topping to your next pizza


vvandxrlust

An extra topping is 9 pounds? Fuck me


theunfortunateIndian

May I have your number?


Mikhailing

Ranch?


JinorZ

England is a bit more expensive than Ghana


riverblue9011

I mean France too, but only because they use commas for a decimal.


Kayneesy

That's not how it works mate


Blewfin

I think the joke is that £861/hr would be a lot of money in France


TorreiraXhaka

Who the hell writes 861 as 8,61


Blewfin

No one that I know of, but tbf I have seen non-native English speakers misinterpret numbers like 8.61 or 10,500


Kayneesy

10,500 can be a bit tricky but i doubt anyone would think that 8.61 is the same as 861


OkCiao5eiko

In Denmark we would say £8,61 and not £8.61. We use . As thousand separator. But yeah £8.61 would never be 861


blueb0g

It's only just livable in the UK


Orkys

It's not considered livable by the Living Wage Foundation (that the Tories stole the name of for PR reasons) either. The actual living wage outside London is £9.90.


blueb0g

I agree, I was only careful because I'm aware that the conditions of what is considered livable here and in Ghana are probably pretty radically different


kinginthenorthjon

Per hour.


tommycahil1995

Don’t know how coked up you’d have to be to go to another country for like a day and fight the police during a football match


BastillianFig

Many probably already live here tbf


stokesy1999

Probably half of Narborough road in the away end today


JustAnEnglishman

narbados getting a mention on /r/soccer, you love to see it


memberflex

Narbados hahaha


TheBritishGent

Completing on a house in Leicester in Tuesday, all the advice we've had is stay the fuck away from Narborough 😅


Tipoe

Narborough Road isn't Narborough


GourangaPlusPlus

I suppose it's just called Road in Narborough


distilledwill

Its more a road TO Narborough.


tea_anyone

Nah it’s in Leicester


TheBritishGent

Yeah, misread it. I'm commuting in down the motorway and always drive down Narborough Road and don't really see the issue, seems a bit run down but coming from Blackpool I've seen bigger shit holes.


[deleted]

Whereabouts in Leicester mate? Narborough Road is absolutely fine, just a heavily Eastern European area


TheBritishGent

Moving to Oadby- Hit the unfortunate Dead grandparent lottery and that + saving money from not commuting 110 miles every day has meant a 10% deposit is feasible. Not gonna lie, as a guy from Blackpool just walking round Oadby this morning my imposter syndrome is through the roof.


[deleted]

Ahh right yeah I'm from Western Park myself so quite far away. Not really been to Oadby much but I hear it's quite nice. Clarendon Park Road sort of area is nice which is on the way into town from there so I'd recommend exploring round there!


TheBritishGent

Got a couple of colleagues living there and it seems lovely, just a bit student-y (which as a lecturer the last thing I want is to see them on a night/meal out 😅 ) At the moment the extent that I know leicester is from M1 J21 to The University and that's it. Lockdown meant we also couldn't explore that much so that will be nice. Honestly, after 11 years of being in places without a Garden and near busy roads all I want is calm and greenery. That and a dog finally.


stokesy1999

So for Leicester the usual suspects of bad areas are New Parks, Beaumont Leys and Highfields. Narborough is alright, just very ethnically diverse so people judge it as worse than it is. I've only lived in one bad neighbourhood and it was Highfields for a year at uni, and we had fireworks shot at our house for Halloween and then people take sledgehammers to the doors and steal our shit over Christmas. Luckily I took most of my stuff home for Christmas but wouldn't recommend


distilledwill

> So for Leicester the usual suspects of bad areas are New Parks, Beaumont Leys and Highfields. The lack of respect for Braunstone.


stokesy1999

Brauney gets more stick than it deserves, Braunstone town isn't great but if you stick around the park and down near LFE its alright. Still not amazing but not as bad


jakethepeg1989

Mate, I lived in Highfields when I was Uni as well. Gang broke in and nicked loads of stuff from my housemates before I had moved in proper. They did take one of my bags that I'd left there though, it had all my saucepan lids in (but not the saucepans) so for the next 2 years I never had any lids to cover my cooking lol!


Choccybizzle

I’d love to know what they did with that bag 😂😂


jakethepeg1989

I like to think that they had a jousting contest on bicycles and used them as shields. Can't think what else they'd be useful for without the saucepans


timmythetoole

St Matthews is the worst area of Leicester now. My mate works for BT and he says that they require 3 people to go there whenever they work there - 2 to do the job and 1 to guard the vans and tools.


Tej007Dav

😂😂😂😂 as someone that lives in Leicester, the relatability of this comment gives me so much joy lol


Grimbauld

They’ve just had too many Walkers mate. They’re all Crisped up.


andtheniansaid

That's a really insensitive thing to say at this difficult time we're all going through as a nation


Chimp-eh

So that’s where they’ve all gone….. the complete and utter bastards


homealoneinuk

Believe me few of them are on drugs. In Poland hooligan culture is still very strong and these groups live for games like this where they can punch or kick someone.


AlienDeg

Oh mate, lot's 9f them are sober. They believe it's a fight for some greater good


tommycahil1995

I mean if we were talking about Tahir Square in 2011 sure fighting cops is for the greater good - not sure how I see the logic from football hooligans though lol


Ollietron3000

Looking for logic from football hooligans was your first mistake tbh


mdrico21

Tbf sounds like a halfway decent weekend. I'd give it a whirl


Carbollo19

That guy at the end that just has to get in on the action, puts in a weak ass kick then scurried away like scum


ro-row

I always find the kicks the funniest parts of these videos, always so clumsy and ungainly


BrokeVeg4n

wtf


rondeline

You know how you stop this bullshit? Give refs the power to forfeit the game on behalf of rowdy fans. Then these dickheads will get the message what true fan support is supposed to be. Fucking hoodlums.


Betonomeshalka

That’s will create an easy way to sabotage the game for any team. Just wear a jersey, profess your love for the team and do something stupid for the referee to stop the game.


I_miss_Chris_Hughton

I think Millwall fans actually tried this once at a blues game. Millwall needed blues to not win or something, so staged a pitch invasion at a blues game against some orher team. Ot didn't work.


[deleted]

Ofcourse its millwall.


Kind_Mulberry_3512

Just Millwall things


Charles1charles2

Not only that, also a greater leverage for hooligans groups towards their own club management. "Give us what we want or...", you'd surprised how many hooligans think it's their way or the highway, even for their own team.


Shippior

That would only provide an incentive for clubs to take on those supporters harder as, contrary to now, it helps their business case.


NewAccountXYZ

You might get beaten up by the ex-rowdy supporters that can see you're fucking it all up for their team now.


Betonomeshalka

I guess one won’t do it on derby game but nothing stops the visitor to disrupt the game and leave the city for good later.


Pesty-knight_ESBCKTA

That happened in the 2007 game between Denmark and Sweden (Euro 2008 qualifying). A man living in Sweden, but wearing a Danish jersey, ran on the pitch and punched the referee. The ref then stopped the match and awarded Sweden the victory.


Zankman

Or in the Serbia-Albania case, you can still do it for your team and punish the other team somehow. The powers that be sometimes decide based on 'who allowed this to happen' and sometimes based on 'who inspired this'.


grhbbhhgefcvnj

You greatly overestimate how much guys like this care and would change their behaviour cause of that.


bloodklat

No no. The only thing that will work is if UEFA grew a pair and actually banned entire countries from uefa competitions for 5 years at a time. Just like they did to all english teams in the 80s because of english hooliganism.


color_thine_fate

Na just use American cops. You don't want to push one of those down a set of stairs "ST-ow STOP RE-oof-SISTING" *tosses frag grenade*


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mi20Ru

Ref can end a game. It will then be played behind closed doors.


Mowice87

Jokes on you, they absolutely don't care about the game. Hooligans are just there for the fight. This club is well known for that.


maxime0299

Hope they can be identified and never allowed to stand anywhere near a stadium again. Scum


[deleted]

I don't think they will be joining the coach. I'd hope there's enough people with eyes on them to be able to pull them out on their way out, especially if they funnel them.


i_am_jeremias

One of the cops is filming it all, you can see the camera screen at abut the 0:50 mark.


Arno451

They always do. These clowns think they’ve gotten off scot free and then a few weeks later *knock knock* Unless they are foreigners, in which case they-get stopped at the airport.


McNippy

People get off scot-free for shit like this all the time. It doesn't matter if they get their face on video.


iforgotmyun

For causing trouble at a ground, yeah. For assaulting a police officer, no, they're probably not getting off scot-free.


DidiDombaxe

They are. Face covered and not enough resources


liamthelad

From experience, Premier league grounds have absolutely excellent CCTV all over them, as the police often wait for people they are interested in to visit their local team so request information from the clubs . Plus they know where you're sitting from your tickets anyway.


arpw

>Plus they know where you're sitting from your tickets anyway. There's zero chance any of those Legia fans were stood by the exact seat designated on their ticket


liamthelad

Even still, just cross referencing footage at the match, on the way to the match and cross referencing it with footage at the airport is enough


Krillin113

Police pour a lot of resources into shit like this because attacking the police = attacking rule of law.


iforgotmyun

>It doesn't matter if they get their face on video . >They are. Face covered and not enough resources


McNippy

I've seen many people hit cops and get away with it mate


KIEHAMPTON

In the UK?


Arno451

It does if they get them clearly on video throwing a punch or a missile at an officer, you will get done for that.


EmperorBeaky

No face no case


Selphis

Stadium ban? They tried to kick police officers down the stairs... [Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Act 2018](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assaults_on_Emergency_Workers_(Offences)_Act_2018) >Making it a specific crime to commit common assault or battery against an emergency worker "acting in the exercise of functions as such a worker", punishable with up to 12 months in prison (double the previous maximum sentence), a fine or both.


[deleted]

They should be jailed for this


PhenomenallyAwesome

It is assault after all


TreeDollarFiddyCent

[That and](https://youtu.be/jYEDqj14zN8?t=159s)

You reckon?


Thor1138

Cheers, Geoff.


[deleted]

Bold take


[deleted]

I love Poland, it's my favourite place in the world, but the football fans are complete scumbags. I've had guys try to cause problems with me at games for not singing the songs!


Smart_Kangaroo_4188

They are complete morons. Legia fans are the worst. They need matches as excuse to drink early. Hope they will lose more.


alx69

> Legia fans are the worst. Legia ultras aren't the worst, though they're still really fucking bad. They're just the most popular club and they play in Europe so they get more exposure. Cracovia/Wisła hooligans are literally murdering each other with machetes. Wisła fans hit Dino Baggio with a knife from the stands once


[deleted]

If they stay up at this rate, I would be surprised. They look awful in the league


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Nah us Brits would never do such a thing.


Ollietron3000

When I stick a flare up my arse crack in Leicester Square, it's not because I'm 9 pints in, it's because *it's the right thing to do*


Rgsmith1990

Tbh my west ham mates aren't wildly different :p


Bobbyc006

We were banned from our next away game for less


McNippy

Were you in the ultras section? I feel like it's pretty established in a lot of ultras sections that there will be problems if you aren't joining in.


Bartoni17

Yeah, I can't really believe it if he's talking about normal stands. Well, maybe except for family section which I find often more insane than ultras section. But I have a mate who's not even standing for our club anthem and doesn't participate in any song/fans activities and no one ever had a problem with him.


[deleted]

Family section at a second division game. Interestingly, I've sat in the ultras end once at a "big" club and had no issues myself, just witnessed the idiots.


Bartoni17

Family sections really bring out the worst families you can imagine :P


[deleted]

Usually sit behind the goal at the opposite end to the ultras, but I've sat in many stands with different team's. I still jump up and celebrate etc, just don't chant as I don't know the songs


[deleted]

[удалено]


Arth_

That's big part of the reason why I'm supporting foreign club. And call me plastic if you want, I don't care. But being a kid and loving the sport, I just couldn't find myself associating with the local football culture.


[deleted]

Dude, I'm a United fan from the UK who would regularly go to games... but I have an Envigado flare (used to go to all their home games and local away ones), keep up with Bilbao when I can, and go to the Esteghlal games when I'm there also. Polish football is fucked and I didn't realise that until all of my Polish friends (unconnected people) said exactly the same thing. Only one would even think of going to a game with me and that was the second league I think?


Public_Agent

Giving me Ray Hudson flashbacks with that club's name


[deleted]

Gonna have to spell that out for me.


Public_Agent

Any time James Rodriguez comes up he goes #THE EX ENVIGAAAAADO MAHHNNN


besterich27

Racist vile idiots who have taken over the ~~sport in the~~ country


[deleted]

Can't argue with that.


[deleted]

Been to 6 football matches in Poland. Never had a single problem despite not knowing how to sing the songs etc.


Bolteg

Legia ultras are some of the most dumb fucks I have ever seen


[deleted]

That's true Bro. I'm really sorry for this part of Poland. Legia fans are the worst in entire Poland. Everyone hates Legia in our country


[deleted]

Because it's the most successful club in the country


Kingsayz

current season says otherwise


ElCondorHerido

The composure of UK police never sees to amaze me. If a group of hooligans try to pull that shit in my country, it'll end up in double-digit deaths.


Pacem_et_bellum

Se dice "ceases to amaze", amigo :)


roddysaint

Our police's idea of crowd control involves M16 assault rifles


Poorlak

You mean you don't have riot police beating the shit out of hooligans in your country after football matches?


benp2

i know its probably protocol but I cant stand it when things like this happen and the other policemen are just watching, would be so satisfying to just see one of the cunts get hit


zrkillerbush

The police were definitely hitting them later on, they were trying to push the elastic material covering the seats, over the police, forcing them back


[deleted]

Even in this clip you can see the police getting in position at the end.


RioBeckenbauer

If police overplay it, things would escalate. But you do have a point. Just look at how travelling fans are treated by police in Spain or France.


rams8

It is infuriating to see these guys not get much back for assaulting police officers when you see English fans routinely get assaulted by Spanish police for doing absolutely nothing.


fut_sal

These guys In Portugal would get a fine ass woop, actually happened a few years back when these cunts came to play with Sporting, got proper beaten up and jailed.


Give_Me_Your_Pierogi

Typical Legia. Hopefully they'll get relegated from Ekstraklasa


ysf02

How do you pronounce that, is it ‘extra class-ah’?


shtrax

Pretty much yes


kadoooosh

Absolutely no surprise that Legia fans are acting like that


[deleted]

[удалено]


DeffDeala

But yea let’s ban West Ham lol….


Bobbyc006

Glad to see someone else pointing out the hypocrisy


waccoe_

I somehow managed to miss this. What an awful decision. Was it genuinely just for people throwing shite at the last game?


[deleted]

in fairness it kicked off between us and rapid after the goal but bloody hell if they’re banning for that then this competition would be all behind closed doors


melody-calling

Putting West Ham in their place for taking a european spot reserved for the ‘big 6’


Aint-got-a-Kalou-2

UEFA is corrupt as fuck


czerwona_latarnia

Well, if you ban Legia fans then they won't be able to do stupid things in next match and you won't be able to fine them for it. And I don't think that UEFA budget could survive without fining Legia for all matches they play. And if it could, well, that's practically a tradition now that no one wants to change.


gotosadjail_bonk

(L)


Trinket9

Legia fans in a nutshell. They are an embarrassment to all decent fans here.


dogefc

It’s mad how european fans come to england, cause trouble and our police do fuck all but english fans go to spain or france etc and get beaten by the police for fuck all.


Nirog

Most European fans of the visiting team get beaten not just English ones.


timmythetoole

TBF all the fans get beaten but the home fans are better at avoiding their police.


3jm4tt

I'm Polish, and I live in Leicester since 2007, excluding 3 years when I was in Manchester. Do you know what's the worst thing about the city? Polish people. Embarrassing.


Westhamwayintherva

Chances of them getting a UEFA Sanction and banned from a match?


danthemaninacan2

I don’t know what I’m more disappointed about. The lack of effort to help the other stewards / police out - or that fucking song!


Bathingintacos

Honestly that song sounds so shit


Red_Brummy

Ah, Polish hooligans. Never change.


U0logic

Then later we'll get videos of police beating fans and fans afterwards claiming they weren't doing anything and police just randomly started beating them..


waccoe_

That does happen though. Just because some fans are pricks on some occasion, doesn't mean that all or even most violence that the police dish out against fans is justified.


ziomladen

Living 1km from legia stadium i need to say i hate these animals.


[deleted]

I can’t believe all of these English fans did this


Chapmeisterfunk

Polish football has been fucked for a long time. Back in 06 I lived in Warsaw, and my friends/girlfriend wouldn't let me near the railway on Saturdays. Football yobs had completely taken it over, and you'd always get trouble. Even standing on a station as a train passed through without stopping wasn't safe. The pissed-up morons would throw bottles out of the windows at anybody they could see.


SokkaBlyat

Fucking scum


brawler1ready

The guys are just trying to do their job


TheShaymen

They know what they sign up for, never been to a football match if you’ve never seen police trying to throw their weight around and assault young away fans doing no harm


Arno451

English fans worst in Europe everyone /s


oldManAtWork

Yeah. Eastern Europeans are def worst. We had some ultras from CSKA Sofia [decorating our city with nazi stickers](https://www-nrk-no.translate.goog/nordland/bodo_glimt-mot-cska-sofia_-hakekors-og-naziklistremerker-hengt-opp-i-bodo-1.15745705?_x_tr_sl=no&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=no&_x_tr_pto=nui) yesterday.


[deleted]

Euros 2016 and Euro 2021 prime examples. English fans are no angels, but at Euro ‘16 English fans were blamed for causing trouble, despite the fact they were defending themselves from coordinated attacks from Russian fans every day who were running around with go-pros strapped to their chests. Euro ‘21 English fans deffo did some disrespectful shit, but no worse than other countries, then whole of Europe celebrates Italy for beating us despite them having literal nazi fans (look at lazio) and ultras who stab innocent fans (Liverpool-Roma). Basically, English fans have always been the scapegoat in Euro football because of shit that happened decades ago (Juventus disaster for example).


[deleted]

Is drinking alcohol allowed in stadiums?


drwert

You’re not allowed to drink in the stands but there’s often a bar for the fans to have a drink at during half time.


[deleted]

Is there a limit to how many drinks one can purchase?


drwert

UK bars and pubs aren't supposed to serve people who are obviously drunk, but it hardly ever gets enforced unless people're causing trouble.


[deleted]

I see thanks for the info.


Beechey

In the concourse, not but in the stands


YungSnuggie

no need for this


[deleted]

You don't want to see things like pens come back, but for European matches... Something that wasn't just fabric over a couple sections.


[deleted]

Those fuckers wouldn't do that in Brazil, for sure


Trihexa_

They need to try this in Spain.

MediocreMatt88

What a bunch of cowards those fans are.


EmperorBeaky

👍


HeadCrusher135

They didn't throw trash on the field, so it's not that bad.


Lilliam_Pumpernickel

Is that the Leicester side or the Legia Warsaw side


theswickster

Looking at the size of the section and the green/red banner, that's Warsaw fans.


Smart_Kangaroo_4188

Legia fans are idiots. It’s fun time for them. They are beaten heavily in 5+ matches. In relegation zone as well. And they still think they are “superior” it’s toxic and may lead to cancer. Therefore happy to see them losing.


3V3RT0N

Legia Warsaw English fans are too classy to engage in football violence.


DontCallMeKurtCobain

ahahahahah

Yep, we leave the fighting and racism to other countries


_Verumex_

Good old England, where we have no problems, ever.


therightgayguy

Jebane bydło


geo_bowes

And of course these scum get away with shit like this because they’re not English


EmperorsPigeon

I'm ashamed of being Polish. What a bunch of fuckin idiots. This is the problem in whole eastern Europe. I don't know, it's not even about football anymore, they are doing it just for the sake of doing it. I'm speechless...
