I wouldn't point the finger at Scotland either. Just football hooligans in general.
If he was attacked there was surely a reason for it. Perhaps he had done something earlier and then recognised?

Suppose there is two sides to every story.
That was what I saw firstly and couldn't believe it. And then there was a chav filming it on his mobile phone ... So glad tht police man got away in the end!

Wrong, football hooliganism is everywhere, this isn't an isolated incident, it just disgusts you guys in particular because it happened in your own country and you didnt get a piece of the action.

I'm not condoning it, i'm just trying to show that it's not an uncommon occurance.
Was that aimed at me? If so, i would like to point out:
(1) I'm not English
(2) Of course all nations have their hooligans. I've seen it enough times in Wales!
(3) All hooligans should be sent to prison which is what i said, and not just the Scottish as you interpreted from my previous reply. But also i said that will never happen.
(4) I know it's a small minority - It's a small minority in every nation, but at the end of the day they are hooligans, which spoil it for for the overwhelming majority.
