England fans in more Euro trouble

Riot police cordoned off an area of the Algarve resort town

England fans were involved in more violence in Portugal early on Saturday, with at least six people arrested.

Riot police cordoned off an area of Albufeira, in the Algarve, after bottles were thrown at officers and some 400 supporters began chanting.

The disturbance was not on the scale of Monday and Tuesday's violence, when hundreds of fans clashed with police.

Meantime, the Home Office says a Briton jailed for two years in Portugal will not have to serve his term in the UK.

It says there is no arrangement for a person to be sentenced in one country and made to serve the term in another.

Gary Mann, 46, of Kent, arrived at Heathrow on Friday and is set to appear in Uxbridge Magistrates' Court, where police will apply for a banning order.

Eleven other fans accused of rioting in Albufeira were allowed to go free.

They were part of a group of 33 fans who had agreed to be voluntarily deported after appearing in a court in the tourist resort on Albufeira on Thursday.

The group had been arrested during disturbances in the Algarve, and will be banned from returning to Portugal for 12 months.

More deportations

Three more England fans are to be deported from Portugal for being drunk and disorderly in Albufeira after England's victory over Switzerland.

Electrician Michael Taylor, 26, from Kidsgrove, Staffordshire, Daniel Traverse, 26, an engineer from Huddersfield and Ben Bailey, 20, from Colchester appeared in a Portuguese court on Friday.

Two of the group were allegedly throwing bottles and the other was said to have obstructed police.

On Thursday, a separate batch of 10 English fans became the first to be deported from Portugal, having been arrested after violence on Monday.

Seven had been given suspended sentences by a Portuguese judge and three were acquitted once they agreed to leave the country.

Eight of that group appeared before a UK court on Friday.

The eight - who face football banning orders - were remanded on bail by Uxbridge magistrates in London and their cases adjourned until 28 July.

They were ordered to surrender their passports and told not to leave the UK until they returned to the west London court.

The eight will now seek legal advice and are expected to contest the banning orders, police officers dealing with the case said.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said the eight, aged from their late teens up to 32, had been served with notices under section 21b of the Football Spectators Act as amended by the Football Disorder Act.

Around 30 police officers had met them at Heathrow when they disembarked from a flight from Faro on Thursday night.

'Classed as thugs'

All 10 of the fans deported from Portugal on Thursday had denied public order offences and resisting arrest on Monday night when 200 supporters clashed with riot police in Albufeira.

Paul Donahue, 31, and Jason Boyle, 22, both from Manchester, were released without charge after being questioned after they arrived at Heathrow.

They allege they were beaten by Portuguese police, leaving them with broken ribs and other injuries, although they were not involved in any trouble.

"We just feel like we've been made scapegoats," Mr Donahue told the BBC.

Mr Boyle insisted he was innocent and claimed police had denied him painkillers for three days for his broken ribs.

Uefa have said they are not treating the clashes as football hooliganism, but the England team could be expelled from the tournament if trouble erupts at any of England's matches.
