I MUST say I feel ashamed to be English today - even though we won against Tunisia.

Yet again, "our lads" - Lancashire lads, too - made us feel ashamed because of their behaviour.

Every single time they go abroad to watch football they have to show up their country by their stupid vandalism and violence.

They should never be allowed to go anywhere again to see sport.

I only hope the Lancashire Evening Telegraph's picture helps find the stupid culprits who made our country feel embarrassed to win.

All I can say is if these are the men that we won a war for, and may have to fight another, God help us all.
