Can you believe it !! Trouble at an U18 game. Nothing major but still.
My lad text me today asking if he could go to the England U18 game with his mates. It might sound soft to some but he's always gone to games with me so bit of a first him going on his own. But no problem, ok by me. My wife was more concerned and I had to say "look it's only an U18 game, there won't be any trouble or anything".
I go to pick him up after the game, a bit away from the ground and there's Police all over the place, some in riot gear, dog handlers trying to round up a mob of lads. Couldn't believe it and then I find out they were playing Poland (why didn't I think to check) and the Poles had kicked off, having a go at the Police.
One of those times when you say "just tell your Mum you had a good time and no need to mention the rest" :-)
