Agreed, that protest makes no sense and only made things worse. What were they thinking? I wouldn't be surprised if we were kicked out of the competition.

correct about everything
i don't think he is trying to justify anything, just explaining the thought-process of some of the crazier fans. they think that shit is fucked in their football association, and that the only way to make changes happen is to sabotage their own team in a major tournament.
Press reporting that other fans started a fight with "fans." People are angry and so sad rn
Yeah, just pointing out that these fans are real dumbfucks.
This whole thing is fucked!

I can't see them booting Croatia for this. The most I can see is a hefty fine and maybe a one or two point deduction.
I explicitly called them morons for starting such a thing here amongst other fans and injuring the official. I just answered in short because i was asked why they were protesting.
My guess is that those types are fireworks are relatively small and can be hidden easily, while something like a bomb or firearm is not nearly as easy to conceal.
Sorry, but acting as hooligans is not OK, no matter the reason behind. It's stupid and hurts other people without solving anything. Actually it makes the position of whoever is the mob head or whatever even stronger because now he gets to call everybody who oppose him "hooligans" and dismiss any critics. It's very idiotic.

Croatia played so well prior to that too :/
If someone has a bomb, no amount of security is gonna stop them. It'll only add to the body count. The only reason they got away with it in November was because the guys were dumb as fuck, they could have very well exploded themselves in the queue.
Flares can be quite small and unless you want 40 000+ people to get naked in front of security, there's no stopping them from getting into stadiums.

Czech commentators were absolutely demolishing play of Czech team. Tomá Rosický said that he is probably done with this tournament due to his injury.

I think they will kick us out or take all 4 points away so we can't pass the group stage. To be honest we deserve it as well, this is not the first incident. Maybe it would be the best if we get a suspension for 2-3 years .
Impossible to stop people getting flares into the stadium. They are easily hidden inside body cavities
Inter fans even managed to get a vespa past security http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Nu6HKVSmk

Seems they did beef up security somewhat :
Journalist Andy Mitten, who was at the game, told BBC Radio 5 live: "I was in a section full of Croatia fans. The team was playing really well, everything was good, the people around me were happy but then I noticed a big line of police and soldiers building up in front of the Croatia end. It became clear they knew something was going to happen and it did happen. I was told that you needed a passport to get in the Croatia end, that there had been security over and above the normal.

Croatia are headed for a very stern warning like Russia and potentially games behind closed doors, it would be very brave of Uefa to kick them out of the tournament given they let russia get away with charging at England fans.
Apparently the Croatian hooligans are purposely sabotaging their team. They made an imprint of a swastika on the pitch a couple of months back too: http://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/13/football/nazi-swastika-croatia-football/
Basically they have beef with the Croatian FA so they are doing whatever they can to get the team disqualified or receive fines.

Terrorism is "the unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims." Would a bunch of organized fans deliberately committing acts of violence in a football game with the aim of embarrassing their team and sending a political message about the corruption in their Football Association fall under that classification?

Going blind as well could happen.
It's weird watching these games compared to English league games. Maybe they just aren't in high visible clothing but you notice a lot of stewards and police congregate very quickly if something is kicking off whereas in this, you see hardly anyone about.

If what I've been reading is true, the person who tried to pick up the flare might lose their sight in on eye...
UEFA is going to throw them out and fine the federation heavily... bodily harm is no joke.

I don't understand why this particular Euros has been so bad, it's been horrible.
Ramos gonna get sent off
I blame the new format, teams know that 3rd place can do for most of them now so there's no need to try hard

Yellow so soon? Absolutely ridiculous.
Well here in Czech there is similar situation where fans have a beef with FA ... corruption and all messed upt stuff in FA, but our fans are not sabotaging international matches .. only the league matches , where they are posting hateful messages towards boss of FA... as pretty much noone has faith in our team any more as the national team got messed up by a lot bad management decisions
... boggles my mind they even won the Qualification group :-D

I meant the violence, not the quality of the football (which has also been poor, admittedly).

CCTV, and season ticket holders. They'll kick you out, and you'll get a life ban from the club. I would have thought that the security would be a heightened with all of the recent problems. I have a few friends over there, and they are all filling me in on how much of a shit show the tourney has been so far.
