Gaspode Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Possibility that Euro 2016 could be played behind closed doors because of the terrorism threat.... http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/10215393/euro-2016-could-be-played-behind-closed-doors-in-wake-of-terrorism-says-uefa-vice-president Not sure how to view this - can understand the concerns, but surely taking this route says to the scum that they've won and gives them the publicity they crave.....

SaintRam Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 That's always a good idea. Give terrorists a target and a deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuff264 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I suppose its being prepared as a reactionary thing, if the first match is hit by a terrorist attack then the rest get to be behind closed doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously - i dont think it will, security has to be massive though, probably on a bigger scale than any tournament ever has been. The checks have to be better than at the iPro, when they check bags they dont even look in them properly. I think they will have to have scanners everywhere. The cost will be huge but needed.

Uptherams Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Even if there is just a single credible threat then matches from that point on will most likely be played behind closed doors. At the very least I expect there to be a credible threat and for this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get closed down when there is a credible imminent threat of an attack or when security has been breached/compromised. This happens the world over. You don't just close them down because they can be a target. That's not how intelligence services operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I think there's probably about a 5% chance of it happening. Money talks. Often louder than safety. I hope it is still on anyway as i've got tickets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCArmy Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Regardless what happens with this... the terrorists have won sadly, the tension now is immense, someone on another forum has cancelled his trip to Belgium and someone across the road from my parents cancelled their trip to Paris because of their attacks in November. Sadly for the next generation they can expect massive security at sport events and having to be extremely careful when picking an holiday destination, more and more people are cancelling holidays to Turkey this year and a lot are staying here at home. Whilst the terrorists are planning their next "big attack" we're making pictures of solidarity, sorry but the terrorists aren't really going to fear that unfortunately. its a sad world we live in and I'm fearful for the kids of tomorrow.

The government, security services, police, local authority/council, stadium owners, match day security/stewards...local transport suppliers and stations. The idea that what UEFA says goes is not an accurate portrayal of reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bin Laden had beef with the west over foreign policy and believed injustice. He used religion to convince people to join him, and the west blamed it to deflect from the foreign policy debate. Without religion he would have still had those extreme beliefs and would probably have found another way to convince people to join him in those beliefs.

Saudi Arabia must be one of the most fundamentalist countries (didn't they crucify people recently) but we still sell them tonnes of arms in return for their lovely oil. The world is pretty fcked and it's pretty much our fault. But hey, our stock market has been pretty good over the last 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 These are the ones I remember. And there has always been memorable players or stories behind these wins.. 1988 Netherlands 1992 Denmark 1996 Germany 2000 France 2004 Greece 2008 & 2012 Spain About 90 % of French doesn't want terrorists to win.. only those open marketplace/screen events are under consideration. If closed doors would happen you could add 2016 terrorists. I'd prefer Iceland... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
