'Tis all we can hope - some people are complete idiots and deserve the consequences for their actions. Unfortunately racism rears its ugly head now and then (far too much in my opinion) and the kind of people who willingly consort in such incidents are disgraces to themselves and everyone who is connected with them. Unfortunately this sort of thing isn't restricted to any one place and all we can do is to fight it whenever it occurs. How, is another matter entirely. Kudos to the police who did what they could.

I support the FA's decision to find out who got involved and give them a ban on attending football matches for the rest of their lives. We should do the same with our idiots.

Brilliant. Yesterady we won in Belfast and are most likely to make it to the first major tournament for our national team. How did your countries do?

Must be the first time in years that we've qualified comfortably for an international tournament? Last I remember anything remotely similar was qualifying for '98 - I think Italy were the only major stumbling block. But Capello's done a fine job and I'm looking forward to it; there's a slim chance I might be in RSA next year but it's pretty remote. Also glad to see Italy are on the verge, but Poland aren't looking too clever, especially after sacking Beenhakker. Ahh well.

yeah, i'm also keeping an eye on Bosnia and Serbia, Serbia will clinch it with another win and BiH are almost in the playoff, should be an interesting world cup, espically with North and South Korea

Hopefully we will. I'm going to Bratislava to see the match and it'd be great if we sealed our qualification there.
