…they’d be throwing the fucking book at us. Banned from competition, fines, the whole lot. Look at 0:40 how they knock the isolated policeman down and set upon him.

The football team in question is Glasgow Rangers, by the way. They should have to play all of next season’s European games behind closed doors as punishment. Then fans might realise what they have cost their team. [Sidenote: When will the BBC start allowing videos to be embedded elsewhere?]
