But I do think it might be getting sensationalised to some extent, and that's a good point about the London riots, I think there'll be putting in a lot of effort to try and clamp down on any racism for the tournament too. Guess we'll just have to wait and see though

Yeah, I just think it's a shame when so many people (over here anyway) were really looking forward to it and have trips planned etc and then you were getting black and mixed race Irish people so afraid after watching it that they're thinking about cancelling their trips :/
Now as I said I haven't even watched it myself and maybe it really is that bad but as Chewy said I think racism and football hooliganism in general is a problem in alot of countries (the UK included)
