Three PSV fans arrested for trouble in Lille
Three PSV Eindhoven fans were taken into police custody after trouble in Lille city centre before Thursday's Europa League game, police sources said on Friday. Around 150 drunk Dutch fans clashed with police before the 2-2 draw and after they were dispersed using teargas, smaller groups formed and broke furniture, wrecked cafe terraces and threw bottles at shop windows.
There were no reports of injuries. FC Bruges joined locals and Charleroi joined PSV'ers
Both mobs joined together at 3.30pm in the city center. Contact was taken by leaders from Charleroi and Lille. Lille lads said they'll take the road at 7pm. We waited but at 6pm tension was high with police and then it was intifada. We fought with policemen but we retreated as they used flash balls and tear gas. We mobbed up in a pub but police charged us and our mob is now totally splitted.
We mobbed up with only small mobs of 20/30 lads everywhere in the city (really hard as we don't know the city). When a mob of 25 Charleroi and 20 PSv'ers used a big avenue, we fronted a large mob mob of Bruges and Lille lads, maybe 140 (?). Of course they took the upper hand but 10/15 away lads tried to fought back. A few punches were exchanged but police intervened.
Dutch splitted again, charged by coppers. So we (Charleroi) re-grouped with 5/6 Dutch near a LOSC shop in the city. We saw a mob of 30 Lille/Bruges (we supposed they were also splitted by cops) and a good fight took place for 2 minutes. Away mob took the advantage
Then, police reacted again and pepper sprayed everyone and used flash balls. About 10 Charleroi lads were arrested.
A real big tension with cops everywhere so we came back to our cars and decided to camel back one day later to pick up arrested guys. Jod done for Charleroi with a top mob. Maybe Dutch will be disappointed that they weren't a lot with Belgians during first fight.
Well done by locals because they respected what they said. A well up for it mob.
