Though, I repeat the idiots that go to cause trouble are just that - idiots and fans of violence rather than fans of the game.

The Brits are at least ten times better than they used to be - today most of the idiots that start the shit are banned from stadiums, a lot of cameras are used to track them down and prosecute them (if they've committed serious offences) etc
Also soccer violence is common throughout Europe, I've been to one soccer match while I was living in Bulgaria, I couldn't believe what happened after the match - the two teams supporters beating the living hell out of each other, the police using everything they got to subdue them and so on, it looked like a battlefield. My brother is a soccer maniac, he got almost killed once because he was in a small town supporting the team that played against the locals....
