  1. We had a flare thrown at us when we were waiting for the bus into town after the game. There was trouble on the bus, a Polish fan attacked a Scottish lad. The bus was stopped and medics came on to see to him. There was a horrible contingent among the Polish fans yesterday.

  2. Anyone getting the 11pm overnight bus to Bradford / Leeds Airport straight after the Poland game at Buchanan bus station? 4 of us on this to get flight next day too Faro at 11.55am

    Bradford/Leeds Airport! Bradford are lucky to even be included.

  3. Loads of foreign folk in Manchester but the city has been a stopping off - and sometimes home - destination for migrants from many countries since the 18th century (and before).

    The Irish, the Jews many Asian and Caribbean citizens all washed up on the banks of the Irwell, Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal and for the most part, there was never too much of an issue with all nationalities getting on with their neighbours.

    But around 10 years ago, the cultural mix began to be less of a multi-ethnic stew, becoming more of a toxic brew that is having an adverse effect on parts of the city. I've lived in the place for 50 years but I won't travel into a few places in Gtr Manchester - too risky.

    Certain parts are now 'no go' areas for many drivers as 'crash for cash' gangs rule - OK!

    Other locales are run by drug gangs, everyone knows who they are but few risk 'grassing'. Plod have had a lot of success of late, arresting perpetrators under proceeds of crime laws to pull them in. But no one is under any illusions that the drugs war can be won - we all know it can't.

    Many newer arrivals can't find work and are easily recruited by those who know the script and have the new recruits front dodgy dealing. Well they would, wouldn't they?

    Parts of Oldham, Rochdale, Gorton, Levenshulme, Longsight, Ardwick and Cheetham Hill, for decades, the first stop for many migrants over the years, are now barely recognisable as English. It's not just the appearance, it's a mindset. And, in many cases there is virtually no integration to talk about.

    Irrespective of who is to blame for migrants heading to the UK for a better life, it's not healthy that the chasms between communities are widening with every tabloid scare story.

    I do believe that every person who is genuinely escaping imprisonment, torture or even death for deeply held beliefs (as long as they don't impact adversely on the rest of the world), should be welcomed into Europe - and elsewhere if they'll have them.

    'Open borders' patently don't work. And why should someone more devious or calculating than others jump into a country by their duplicity - they shouldn't, IMHO.

    There is a case for financial migrants to be able to enter countries if they fit certain criteria - but no country can assimilate everyone that wants to travel for a better life.

    At 61, I'm not sure I really give a shit, it's for you younger folk to deal with. But, I'd hate to see the country - and I mean the UK - descend into some Balkanesque quagmire for decades to come - and I'm not trying to be dramatic.

    Anyway, on a lighter note, I stumbled on this:

    Made me laugh but maybe I'm just a bit twisted.

    The driving problem really bad in parts of Bratfud, you need eyes in the back of your head!
