Riotwatch Update III

Eleven 'Britons' have been escorted from Portugal and how's this for swift justice, a Kent fireman has been banged up for two years for being the ringleader of Monday night's mayhem.

Incidentally I'm all for UEFA's decision that the bother in Portugal so far has not been football related. It's taken place several (hundred) miles away from where the England team are playing and let's face it, these folk would probably be starting a barney on holiday wherever they went. Just here they can do it in the name of English Pride. So far I can't see any reason to kick England out.

Female readers will be pleased to note that my preview of tonight's England -Switzerland game will follow shortly.

Being one of your female readers, it gave me great pleasure and joy to read your informative text on past and present England / Switzerland encounters. More please. Perhaps an essay on the particular attributes of each team? What colours will each be wearing for instance? I consider your soccer punditry the highlight of my day.

Tommy, why put hundreds in brackets? Several would have been better.
