Something that goes against the "all football fans are thugs" rhetoric

After Basel fans were stopped from getting into Nice at the French border last night because the French police are short on resources because of strikes, blaming immigrants etc they decided not to make a fuss and take over the nearby Italian town of San Remo setting up a big screen in the town centre to watch the match and watching and celebrating the match there.

The San Remo locals were full of praise after the initial unfounded fears of a bunch of unpredictable foreigners taking over their town subsided.  The Basel fans are reported to have started clearing up before the game had even ended and apparently there is no evidence that this spontaneous event ever happened.  Full story in Swiss paper Blick here

Basel fans don't trash town and clear up

That narrative only exists in people who have barely entered a stadium. 

Yes there are some who can’t behave themselves but they are very much a minority.  Our games vs Falkirk attract the worst element and as a result a high police presence,  by far the worst we’ve seen in decades was the bin and chair pass the parcel effort before the first home game,  ****ty behaviour no doubt but what was that 40? ‘Fans’ less than 1% of those who went to the game.    Go to a pub with 100 people in it, you’ll find one that’s a bit of a ****wit.
