Does anybody watch - The Real Football Factories : International ?

[RedRedRobinSTFC]

Just wondered if anyone else has watched the latest incarnation of Danny Dyer's peek in to football violence & hooliganism. The 2nd series has taken him to some of the worst countries in the current era. From Turkey to Brazil & Argentina, Russia, Poland, Holland, Croatia, Serbia & Italy. A real eye opener. English fans may still have a bad reputation but some of these will soon be the worst ever I think ...


It's usually on monday nights on Bravo (Sky 121 or 122) at 10 pm +1 hour for 122. Very good program.

I haven't seen the international programmes, but the club series was good. I also like the toughest away days programme as well

English fans will keep their reputation because they are the fans that travel the most.
Look at italians, they dont go to european away games. Brazilian fans dont have money to buy cheese for their bread so they dont travel either.

I dont know junkie, English fans look quite camp compared to other european teams supporters tactics.

I watched the one on Argentina clubs. The hooligans practically run the clubs, I think it was the kop end of River Plates stadium where a large section is left empty until their hooligans arrive!

Yes I thought both the Argentina & Brazil programs were a little scary quite honestly. The Brazil one in particular because Fire Arms are used in some instances . But then again Brazil is now the most violent country in the world ...

Didn't see the Brazil programme, but in the Argentina one there was a derby match - can't remember the teams but when the away side went 2 goals down the fans started rioting and got the game abandoned. If that happened over here you'd probably get banned!

true, but they dont travel to europe, so they dont have a reputation.

The worst incident ever happened in a Junior Game in Brazil I think. U18's or 19's I think. A huge riot and several people killed or injured. Very sad really ...
