How about the 50 best police forces that have given their scum fans a good battering???

[lopez]

How about the 50 best police forces that have given their scum fans a good battering???

1. Gotta be the Madrid keystone cops 1982 going into a bar and putting them all in hospital. No need for helmets, just moustaches and big truncheons, and if that ain't enough, no problemo, we're not part of the EU yet and a cultural hangover from the days of Fat Frank of doing anything we want and getting away with it still prevails so handguns at the ready. One c*nt did get out in one piece until he got Jackie Chan'd down the road. On the news footage shown on one of those dodgy 'Football Years' series, you can see what appears to be a naval captain running in for some 'sport.'

2. Cagliari 1990. They thought they were going on one of those intimidating marches where they can smash up a few cars, intimidate some grannies and laugh as they get a free flight home. Instead they got the sh*te kicked out of them and were filmed cowering, crying 'where's my mummy.'

3. Rotterdam 1993. Scum: 'But we got tickets!' Police: 'Sorry, we are going to throw you into a cage for 24 hours just like the animals you are. Please feel free to sh*t on the floor.' Oh where's me human rights lawyer?

4. Rome 1997. Obviously they didn't learn anything from Cagliari seven years earlier.

5. Dublin 1995. Better late than never.

[Thunderblaster]

Peru 4-1 England 1959. No idea who scored though.
Gaetjans for USA in 1950 World Cup. USA won 1-0.
Hergal for Tunisia in 1990 friendly. 1-1.
Saudi Arabia in 1988. 1-1. Forget the Arabian scorer.
England 1-3 Australia. 2003. Did Viduka score?
Andreas Ivanschitz for Austria last September. Through David James to make it 2-2.
Thomas Brolin for Sweden in Euro'92. Sent England home.
Dan Petrescu for Romania in WC 1998 with two minutes to score. Kevin Keegan after Michael Owen's equaliser blurted out "There's only one team going to win this game and that is England!" Romania won 2-1.
Oleg Protasov in 1984 for USSR. England lost 2-0 and it started a parliamentary debate to boot out Bobby Robson as manager.

Peru 4-1 England 1959. No idea who scored though.

Sorry, we need the scorer (and I couldn't be bothered researching this one!)

That's no.39

Hergal for Tunisia in 1990 friendly. 1-1.

no.40

Saudi Arabia in 1988. 1-1. Forget the Arabian scorer.

Now we're sucking diesel. This was a great game, but unfotunaletly Viduka did not score . Popovic, Kewell, and Emerton did, however, so they get no.s 41, 42 and 43.

Andreas Ivanschitz for Austria last September. Through David James to make it 2-2.

No.44

What about Gerry Daly's cracker against them at Lansdowne in the late seventies, when they brought over the massive sum of fifty fans to Lansdowne that day.

Great away support my @rse.
