We'll Fight the 'Germans' on the Beaches and Outside Pubs

One unfortunate gentleman in High Wycombe, sporting a German national team football shirt on Sunday, was assaulted after leaving the Antelope Pub.

The 31-year-old man was punched but reportedly not injured following the game. Thought to be English, word on the web is that the man in question was making a nuisance of himself in the pub and revelling in England's 4-1 demise at the feet of arch-rivals, Germany.

We're a civilised folk here at Arm Chairs & Deck Chairs so we do not advocate groups of marauding hooligans assaulting members of the public for their footballing allegiances however perhaps this chap should have been more tactful given the sensitive nature of the game and distastrous outcome for England.

Pub manager Shane Mcdougall claimed staff offered him a different t-shirt to wear, an offer that was refused, and told him to leave for his own safety after he appeared to be getting a 'bit excited'.

In an ideal world, Wycombe fans would freely wear their colours in Oxford or Colchester pubs and vice versa but sadly this is not possible. No doubt the gentlemen knew the kind of trouble he was likely to encounter and whilst he didn't deserve to be assaulted, he probably went home knowing that it was not wholly unexpected, given his desire to not pursue any complaint.
