Police chief: Efforts to police England fans in Russia have been 'wasted'

The head of football policing in England has told 5 live Breakfast that efforts made with Russian police to understand the "difficult dynamics" of English fans have been "wasted".

Russian police witnessed the drunken behaviour of English supporters in the Netherlands ahead of their friendly with Holland, where more than 100 England fans were arrested.

Deputy Chief Constable Mark Roberts told Rachel Burden: "Countries look at how our supporters behave and think 'why should we tolerate it?'. If the host country finds that behaviour offensive, they will deal with it as they would their own people,"
