Ric please enlighten me as to why it was no fit for purpose. Belgium is a peaceful country with law abiding citizens living in it, some of whom own jewellers. It hosted many football matches including 2 finals with English teams in it as @DazWA9 states. If we are saying that Uefa should have known the likes of Liverpool would get to the final and with their violent history in England and Europe, the venue was not suitable, fair enough but, the fact they had a neutral section shows that they naively believed the fans would behave. It was fit for purpose, that of playing a football match, it was not fit for Liverpool 'fans', but that is a different story.

I don’t think he’s defending Liverpool fans. He’s just saying part of the blame lies with juve fans.
In the footage posted on here and other footage I have seen, I have yet to see the Juve fans charging the feral scouse mob.

I think the inference is it is their fault because they didn't charge back. Ridiculous beyond belief.
Your correct. Two wrongs don’t make a right. But they can make a situation a whole lot worse.Well in that case he's absolutely wrong.
I think both clubs had raised concerns with UEFA regarding the state of the stadium prior to the game. Obviously doesn’t absolve Liverpool fans of any blame, but it was surely a contributing factor to what happened that night.Ric please enlighten me as to why it was no fit for purpose.

Sorry Ric not having that mate. If Liverpool fans had behaved, there would have been no problem.

Blaming the stadium is like blaming City's bus for driving down the wrong road.
I’m not sure anyone is blaming the stadium from what I’ve read?Blaming the stadium is like blaming City's bus for driving down the wrong road.

Ah right, so the Italian baker who had taken his 13 year old son is to blame, fancy him not charging back and if his son could not keep up, tough. I thought the car salesman would have put up more of a fight though, ok he was 64yrs old but come on.
