    OMG!
    The UK is 'securitising' Sport in the South Atlantic!
    Panic bells are surely ringing in Buenos Aires!

    “Quick, call the UN C24 Committee!!
    Issue ill-thought-out statements!!
    Call for national marches in support of the Arg. Govt.!!
    Bang fist on table!!
    Stamp feet ineffectually!!
    Demand that it be known 'we didn't murder Nisman, it was the Iranians'!!”
    ....
    “oops! did 'we' go too far?”

    The tele-novela continues in Cristina's next Cadena Nacional...

    (one imagines...)

    Meanwhile, it is good to see closer link between UK-Uruguay. Another nail in the coffin that they support the 'malvinas myth'.

    Don't bother trying to 'engage' me, stevie. You know that is a Fools Errand. You obviously have forgotton how much I whipped your arse last time. Probably the reason you disappeared for so long... too busy wound-licking.
    -----------------------

    Meanwhile, back on topic, it is good to see Uruguay engaging with the modern world and seeking advice from experts, irregardless of the noisy neighbours across the river, who have a serious problem with football related violence of their own.
    (From 1924 to 2010 there were 249 deaths (250 with the Argentine recently died in South Africa) related to Argentine football (if the 300 dead in Perú in 1964 aren't counted). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_hooliganism#Argentina

    You and me are the perfect example of relations between Uruguay and the UK (read England).

    Cordial at best, and always funny. Clownesque, I would say.
    You are a natural...

    As for football hooliganism, there is one country that was banned from playing the game in whole of Europe for, what was it? A decade?

    See?

    Clowesque, you are...

    Keep entertaining ;)

    @4..Just to correct a little mistake by you there Stevie, it was one club not country, that was banned for 10 years, but reduced to 6 years, all other clubs banned for 5 years from UEFA Cup and Champions League.

    How about those 68 dead on the Merseyside, victims of English football security?

    Correct me again, please...

    We someone please happily correct stevie regarding his crappy post @6?

    I can only presume he meant the Hillsborough Disaster that happened in Sheffield, some 62 miles/100km from Merseyside, involving Liverpool fans and some serious policing errors which led to the sad deaths of 98 people.

    Not Merseyside.
    Not 68 people.
    Not making the football related violence in Argentina any better either.

    Or did he means Heysel?
    Even further away from Liverpool!

    So, two massive mistakes in his past two posts.

    Clownesque indeed!

    I told him not to bother trying to tangle with me.

    He gets his arse handed to him on a plate every. single. fucking. time.

    Another fool who likes to imagine he has some kind of 'relationship' with me.

    Urgh!
    Pass the bleach. His shit really stinks.

    The stadium in MVD is a dump and in real need of replacement.

    The national government in the form of poor old “No Money Pepe” also needs to kick the arse of “Bite 'Em Suarez” not to encourage or condone his actions as they did recently.

    I see the Argieguayo is back . Give it two months and he'll be off back to the asylum following an even bigger breakdown.

    So, in all your naughtiness... All in all, what English football security can teach us, is how to kill 98 spectators, or how to get ourselves banned from international football?

    British Hooligan security experts are like North Korean investigative reporters, they are to be found somewhere between Disney's Fantasyland and the 11th dimension of M-theory.

    Not knowing much about security at football matches I have to ask why the Argentinians or Brazilians were not asked for their input ?
    Maybe Stevie could enlighten us ?

    Of course, that would be because England has been through it all, including caging the audience. And now, with the exception of racism, they seem to have found a way to deal with our less lucky ones, without the need of violence.

    Most of the time...

    Anglos never ask any other cultures for input. It's in your supremely condescending and benighted attitude that you think no one that speaks a foreign tongue or doesn't have a couple of missing teeth could actually provide something positive to your own culture.

    but england is known for having invented hooliganism.
    as far as the whole fucking world knows, they could not do a shite against that cancer.
    so basically these “experts” are a bunch of useless assholes good-for-nothing.
    a complete waste of time.

    Do you have the capability to read and understand a question. I asked why Argentina was not asked and your reply is total deviation. So I will ask YOU.
    They are your neighbours, speak Spanish and play football in an aggressive manner.
    As to your ignorant remark about teeth
    www.economist.com/node/15060097?ubjectid=7933596&story_id=15060097

    I could equally refer to Argentinians as greaseballs which would be as true as your uneducated statement.

    #23
    As to your post one incident refers to 17 years ago and the other 19 years ago./

    You have the nerve to criticise when the following seem to be par for the course in your peaceful society.

    Paulie/Stevie.

    What about in Denmark? Do you feel safe going to football games there?

    When was the last time you went to a game in Uruguay?

    grandpa
    i already know that maths are NOT your strong point.
    anyway you should know that this:
    “Chelsea Headhunters on rampage in Paris: 300 football hooligans smash-up shops as they fight with Paris St Germain supporters”
    happened last year.
    in 2014.
    2014 was not 19 years ago.
    got it?

    I can only conclude that the Argentine government blocks unsavoury facts about the country. It takes but a few clicks to reveal the extent of violence and deaths associated with Argentine football.

    I just love the consistent inconsistency and predictable erraticism of these Anglos.

    The woman above, just like all the other racists that post here, do not cease in calling the argentines (including the government) incompetent good-for-nothings. The Argentine government can't do anything right. But yet here we have were, basically stating the Argentine government is very capable indeed. I mean, to hide DEATHS, not only from the families of the deceased, but the authorities, and the society at large... that is one CAPABLE government if you ask me!

    It's just like Clyde-Midia in the other thread. Saying that nothing worth mentioning has ever come out of Argentina, and nothing that he would ever care to have interest in... yet here he is yapping his Anus with teeth about a country he finds has EVER ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING worth uttering, nor that he has or would ever learn or read or listen to... as is he were an expert! Let me repeat: this person has no interest whatsoever in learning anything about the country he constantly writes about, and best of all, tries to argue with true ARGENTINES that he knows more about the country than they do.

    All these “people” are my Raison D'Etre. This is why I exist.

    Ha Ha!

    Just look at the article, the UK has dealt with the 'hooligan' problem to such an extent that other countries are ask for their advice.

    Something that paul-carrion and Trolley_dolly can't yet understand.

    This matter is ancient history in the UK, it is only countries like Argentina and Italy where there is this kind of violence anymore.

    As always, they are are a few decades behind the modern world.

    Fair game, I am not any sort of expert on Argentina. I only came to this site when YOUR govt. started threatening the Falklands again. Then I became aware of the biased vitriol posted by many of your countrymen against this small community so I became embroiled in the petty shouting matches and trading insults.
    There is NO WAY you can have a reasoned discussion with people like you and Paul. He is just a foul mouthed racist.
    You are on an extended ego trip to boost your self esteem. Am I supposed to take someone seriously who evinces hatred for all “Anglos” which by his definition includes Afro-Americans and who keeps changing his posting identity ?.
    As to having no interest in Argentina and to think that nothing good ever came out of it, I have YOU and your fellow travelers to thank for that from the quality of your posts. This is where I get my impressions of Argentina and they are anything but flattering.
    However YOU set yourself up as an expert on every subject here and give your opinions as facts despite, from your own words, never having left the country, and are unemployed.
    Your raison d'être -(note the circumflex Mr language expert)-is to amuse we Anglos with your sanctimonious hubris proclaiming your “superior” intelligence and debating skills. You are so far up your anus that you could turn yourself inside out. You would not last 5 minutes in a job in the real world.
    #26
    OK, I know common sense is completely lacking in your case. You keep demonstrating this.
    Of the 3 videos you posted, two I could open and the other I could not .
    If you could read and comprehend - doubtful- you would see that I referred to TWO of the videos and did not mention the third as I had not seen it.

    I see that you did not comment on the videos I posted. From this I must presume that they are fabrications of the truth and that football violence never happened in Argentina and that its only occurs in the UK. All is peace and love where you live.

    GOT IT !!!!!!!!!!

    “. Am I supposed to take someone seriously who evinces hatred for all “Anglos” which by his definition includes Afro-Americans... ?.”

    “As to having no interest in Argentina and to think that nothing good ever came out of it, I have YOU and your fellow travelers to thank for that from the quality of your posts. This is where I get my impressions of Argentina and they are anything but flattering.”

    Reverse your own statement and thought process above to my perspective... of you (the Anglo).

    How can you or anyone then expect anything but my behavior towards you! You have earned it I would say.

    Your little circumflex jab is ridiculous, I am so so so so far more advanced than you in language that me “lackadaisically” neglecting the correct spelling is evidence of nothing except the soothing of your own inadequacies vis-à-vis me.

    I am far superior to all of you, even if my country is not. (though your countries are really horrible societies and places too).

    His real problem is that his medication is in irregular supply and often of dubious quality. Probably he can't read the labels, as they are in Chinese.

    Or he has to choose between paying for his meds or internet access.
