Saw this on another Forum.
Watch the Video (only 20 seconds or so) but then - & this is the point - read the comments.
What camp are you in? Do you think they are irresponsible idiots, or "class"?

That lyric was nothing to do with winning anything. It was about the tournament being held on British soil again.
Anyway, I like the video. I am not politically correct. ****, I don't even care if somebody got hurt. It's all a good laugh.
Maybe I need to chill out over it
Three lines on my shirt
It is coming home
Embarrassing idiots is the kind version and I don't see how this can be described as nice and respectful in any way.
Although far from alone, Ingerland supporters do seem to have more than their fair share of complete *****.
Completely agree with @NoseyBonk regarding the song and Euro96.
As you were, young 'uns.
Your at work earning prob min wage, a group of dignified so called football supporters start chanting and jumping on the items you are employed to sell, all good harmless fun? Nope
Never ceases to amaze me what people do when they are in a group of like minded individuals.
No wonder people in other countries hate us.

"Anyone reposting that clip of a few idiots in IKEA and using it to judge or comment on our ‘culture’ should take a long hard look at themselves. Your sanctimony is suffocating.
Why aren’t you posting one of the endless clips of people happily celebrating and joining in?"
As for the song, yes it was referring to Euro 96 being held in England, but is it any wonder it's being used now? It is one of the catchiest football songs and hopefully very appropriate!
Some more "fans" just celebrating by jumping up and down on things.
One damaged bus shelter and one first responder ambulance out of service.
Opinions on this, which is what I sought, seem, as expected, to be based on age, with the older people finding the behaviour deplorable, whilst the younger folk don't see a problem with it.
@tomgoodun made a great point, what must the minimum-wage employees of Ikea have had to endure? Must have been pretty scary for them.
My view? Completely neutral, & not even mildly surprised that I've seen feral baboons with more sense than these irresponsible sorts. And if that makes me sanctimonious, so be it, guilty as charged.
God only knows what would happen if we won the World Cup. Or even more scary, lose it. And I have a hunch one of those 2 outcomes is probable.
The furniture will also be sold as seconds at best, and i am sure it it is a police matter
" breach of the peace " at least. Alcohol is no excuse, and the previous behavior
of some England fans will see these lads tarred with the same brush " Hooligans ".
