The problem with South European countries is that most are populated by a hybrid Euro/Arab mix. Hench the over reaction by the 3rd division police in Madrid on Wednesday.ps city stewards seen what happened as well...................
Got some pictures of the City fans being kettled. Will post them Tomorrow.
Got to the stadium ed's. Knew there was going to be problems later on.
Didn't have to show my passport at the check points, so it was bullshit being told to bring it by City Officials at the ticket pick up office.
At least 4 check points before the fans got to the spiral. There was another checkpoint inside the spiral. Searches, etc.
Once inside the stewards were ok and helpful.
Alcohol free Beer was on sale and you could take it to your seat.
Near the end of the first half City fans started arguing and fighting with each other on the terraces.
The stewards got involved, some with batons, which weren't used, and they ejected some of the City fans involved.
Coming out after the match didn't see any trouble. The Police and stewards were lined up on the concourses to direct the fans down the stairs and spirals.
Didn't see anything as I made back to the bar where my Girlfriend was watching the match. Couldn't get Her a ticket.
Found out She had been punched on the side of her face by a Madrid fan in the bar. Thankfully some of other Madrid fans and the bar staff grabbed him and dragged him out of the bar.
That aside, She had been looked after by other City and Madrid fans before and after the incident.
Got the Metro back to Gran Via. Bit of banter betwen the City and Madrid fans on the Metro, but nothing else.

Does our Barcelona connections play a very small part to play in this?
The director of football, bergie and tiki. Now also Pep.
These police could be Madrid fans and/or haters of catalonia.
Just a thought
No. I went home and away with England in the 70's and 80's, and they all fooking hate us. Nothing has changed.

I don't get why? Do they have a preconception all us Brits are drunken thugs and take a hard line from the off? They don't mess about in the resorts either when I've watched some Costa Del Street Crime or other programme in the past.
Yes they do, very much so.
Hope Catalonia goes independent. Fuck these pricks.
The Mossos D'Esquadra are as bad if not worse.

What a mess, poor fellaMy father in law that mate only found out myself this morning wondered I couldn't find him after the game, spent the night in a Madrid hospital but wouldn't let his son out to go in the ambulance so had get a taxi and tour all the hospitals searching for him! He's out and on the train to Malaga had to book more flights back to MCR but his car is at Leeds Bradford
city fans were fighting with each other in playa major
Just two idiots fighting each other from what a saw.

I've seen a few posts online that appear to be justifying the actions of the Spanish police on account of this isolated incident that 99.99% of City fans didn't witness and weren't involved in. Personally, I think it's very worrying that anyone would take such a view and I'm sure they would have a totally different opinion if it was they that were on the receiving end of an unprovoked indiscriminate assault.

Police obviously non accountable.....typical of Europe and just one of the reasons why I want out.
Little men with sticks,most weighed about 10 stone wet through and its probably the only fight they could ever win.

It's ironic when we have our own fans prepared to give up our freedoms so easily too, wanting the introduction of the ticket collection, subjected wristbands and herding to various places.
I won't be doing Italy again, have to consider Spain before going again.
What was laughable about the whole wristband/passport thing was that nobody got theirs checked from what I saw, yet it still took an absolute age to get into the ground.

At least in Paris the wristband was checked.
Think there's clear evidence now it's the club's idea to introduce the wristband and passport for this game.

The passport rule is UEFA nothing to do with the club. It's been in place for years.

got big bruises on my backside after being stuck by a baton wielding thug/policeman........doing nothing more than walking along the concourse to gain entry to my seat..another copper had a wry smile on his face after numerous fans got a pasting..........a licence to hammer people..............disgusting.........city fans were well behaved in general.........as per....nothing will be done....our club need to lauch an official complaint......not holding my breath on that one.....
That's exactly what happened to me mate - once I finally got in the ground, I attempted to make my way up the steps to my seat and got beaten back down on to the concourse and batoned across my legs. Thankfully I didn't incur any serious injuries but I've rarely felt as helpless as when I was on my backside. One bloke was so disgusted with their behaviour that he walked out of the ground.

I'd never had to show my passport before this season. Some ID in Italy to confirm the name written on your ticket but this passport thing is new.

Te next twat who comes to my door asking me to vote to stay in Europe will be shown the video of these incidents.Would love to know how these public servants(coward cops) are held accountable to the public in this union.

Ah it's an Italy thing? I had to show my passport at the city juve game years ago. I thought it was a UEFA rule

Yeah it's Italian law I think. The strange thing about Wednesday was that there was a space for your name on the ticket but it wasn't filled in so there would be no point in checking passports anyway.

When I collected my ticket and wristband on Tuesday, City were saying Madrid police had requested passports be taken to the game as opposed to other photo id which is what the original letter and e-mail from the club said.
