If it was a gas chamber then wouldn't the fans be dead?

Did they not provoke the Poles by marching upon their national capital?

How else could patriotic people react to that?

@Prophet --- That wasn't the real Tomasz, I'm the real Tomasz. You know that wasn't me because he posted he knows people in London; I'm from USA.  I posted a comment on this article, but RT deleted my comment. I said that this is a one-sided article which is not backed by facts. It's a shame that RT leaves some comments but removes ones like mine which criticize its unprofessional journalism.

re: MaD (unregistered).  Instead of lecturing and patronising us why don´t you ask yourself the simplest question of all "Why none of this didn’t happen in Ukraine but Poland?" None of us wants to see dirty politics involved with and dominating the sports, that is exactly what frustrates people. And as we can see the majority of the posters here are using exactly this point. I have previously expressed my admiration for those who deserved it; the Portuguese Ronaldo, the German team play and most of all the fantastic final victory of the Spaniards. But here the article IS about dirty politics dominating the sport, just the same dirty politics boycotted the 80`s Moscow Olympics’.

With antiRussian sentimement in Poland is just like with the BBC film stadiums of hate. It is grossly exagerrated. Most of the Poles have positive feeleings toward Russians. There are opinion polls showing this. There are deep personal contacts between people. I have met a lot of Russians and been to many parties with them and Poles and Russians really got along well together. I know Polish-Russian squat in London which is very vibrant and there will be a lot od Polish-Russian babies out of it :). There can be some negative feelings though towards Rusian authorities which Poles perceive as authoritarian.
But there are some minorities on both sides doing everything possible to hit the other side to feel better and cure some inferiority complexes.I can see that Eurasian, Savo and Crusader148 belong to this group on this forum

Obviously you have no spine, the fact that the whole nation is selling their souls for money. Women in western Europe as dancers and men just as useless pimps..

@Eurasian: UEFA punished Russia for what your "supporters" did INSIDE THE STADIUMS(beat the stewards, throw fireworks). See the difference? And if that incident in Wroclaw did not take place the whole thing in Warsaw might not have happened at all. Every nation has its own bast@rds, don't forget that.

Sometim es it's hard to believe how easily regular people can be played against each other. Did you not see the big sign on the bridge saying "Welcome to Warsaw brothers Russians,  f@#k politics, lets drink wodka tonight!!"? That was made by real football fans, real people. Poles generally like Russians more than they are brave enough to admit, and I guess polish media is doing a great job creating this hatred towards Russians, I'm sure just like russian media creates hatred towards the Polish. This article here kinda proves it.

i think the Russian who had been release just make up the story...if Polish hooligans s tarted the provocation, why did the Russians supporters attacked the officers in-charge not the hooligans themselves ( as what the clip from you tube showed )... the act of chanting with the big banner "This is Russia" was really not appropriate...you can chant slogan to support your team but not with banner that look like  you wanted to invade the country...logically thinking, if the police fired a tear gas in a car, supposedly the police who drove the car would also be affected by the tear gas..if it was a lorry or van still there should be a police officer together with the detainees who should  look after them,so he (the officer) should be affected as well...it makes no sense...if the tear gas incident actually  happened, there should be somebody (doesn't matter if they are from news agent or individual who will make a report about it and it absolutely will gone viral in the internet..Polish au thority are not so fierce that they might suppress the media from exposing those story...just think...

re: Opinionated (unregistered) DO NOT try to opinionate me, try to argument me with facts, reasons, logic and common sense. And for Christ´s sake STOP with this anti-Russian HATE. If I (we) are to take you seriously as impartial judge in the matter WHY IS THAT you DO NOT make the same remark to the notorious Russio-HATER Tomasz - who once in awhile loses it completely goes around here and shouts loud DEATH TO RUSSIA? What I and ppl like me try to do here is exactly this; telling you STOP with the HATE towards Russia, STOP fixing the world and our Europe - by countering you. Mind your Anglo-American world and business, STOP pushing your long noses where don´t belong. If you talk me with reason and common sense I will respond adequately with politeness and kindness, if you go the Tomasz´s way I know bloody well how to kick back. Choice is yours pall. Hey Tomasz why don´t you organize again your freaking gay´s show, as you did with your pc-gang the other night, using my screen-name performing your GAY PRIDE PARADE here to entertain us once more – I feel bored you know if there is no sweet hun next to me playing with her?

Afaik there was no premission for russian march/gathering... They only announced their intend and never sent official request.. Warsaw president said that if there is no official request then there is no march... Just many people gathereing in one place... Dafuq???

Anyw ay russians aren't saints eaither.... They beat polish steward on airport and later on the march they would bring banners with forbidden hammer and sickle...

Tbh after these provocations, i don't believe they are saying truth...

Petr… In all countries bad policemen are sometimes brought to justice, sometimes they are not.  Fair enough, Russian police are far more aggressive, tougher  and more corrupt (my daughter even goes as far as saying they are far more “professional”, whatever that means J) than, for example, Polish police which does not mean that Polish police do not commit crimes, are corrupted, and far too often get away with this.
