As one commentator said (possibly Tyler), it was just a bit "over boisterous". That has basically been the general media attitude to a team bus being pelted and smashed up. The coverage of Liverpool football club and their fans in this country is nothing short of embarrassing. I find it unbearable quite frankly.Yeah, the brushing under the carpet of the coach attack by the media was pretty shameful tbf.
The video on this page suggests it was a Liverpool fan, but not confirmed:

Has the video been taken down??

Excellent post, but not something you will read about on any of the news items today on television, newspaper or online. And much of this bravado, aided and abetted by the local police force, the club itself and deliberately ignored by a compliant media.It is, and although I wouldn't consciously link yesterday's typically cowardly and premeditated assault on a bunch of scarfers, to anything other than the despicable nature of those Roma fans involved, Liverpool have only themselves to blame in respect of the image they themselves project. In a bid to demonstrate their "istreeeeee" and to cement their own self-imagined position as European royalty (and particularly given that they were playing City, whom they sneeringly regard as arrivistes and who wouldn't understand their European 'traditions'), they chose to act like Galatasaray wannabes, chucking bottles, letting off flares, spitting and swearing at the City coach, and all egged on by stewards with megaphones and a minimal police presence.
If you're going to project that sort of image and attitude around the world, you can hardly act surprised when a bunch of rival fans, particularly ones from a country which previously suffered 39 deaths at the hands of Liverpool's delightful entourage, turns up and regards you as fair game for a scrap

I'd say he's a dipper - Roma ultras all wear jeans and he's standing next to a lad wearing tracksuit bottoms. Can't be 100% though.Just found it on BBC site but can’t work out who the thug supported

Agree totally Ric but one of our players - or the coach driver - could have been critically injured or a member of the public (Liverpool fan of course), lining the route.
Just lucky it passed without serious incident.
It is, only pure luck, that nobody was seriously injured.
And their actions set them us as a target for similar scum.

Don't understand why a dipper would own a hammer.
Oh somebody has done that one already.
'Shuffles off'
Obviously it's been stolen.Don't understand why a dipper would own a hammer.
