AS a Bury FC and England supporter for more than 20 years, I have watched football throughout England and Europe.

I must express my deep concern about the way the media has reported events during France '98.

I was at the England v Tunisia match, standing alongside rival fans, and there was no trouble at all. So when the trouble began on the beach, why did Sky and CNN show only the English supporters fighting?

It did not show fathers defending their loved ones while missiles from Tunisian supporters rained down on them.
