To briefly return to my earlier post...

Sure, in hindsight it was an overreaction, but I'd just read the story and got caught up in the heat of the moment. As a expat Brit, I feel tarred by association with those c**ts, even if it was an isolated incident. The story has had extensive coverage here in Belgium and frankly I felt ashamed of my country when my colleagues were talking about it at lunch.

As for the question of the punishment itself, I stand by what I said about proceedings against individuals being somehow insufficient. Chelsea certainly bear some responsibility as these c**ts were travelling in their name.
