In 48 hours, UEFA will speak, right?

As if UEFA give a fuck if we boo or not, They probably sit there and think "I'm sure it's supposed to be Liverpool who play the victims"
They wanted to charge us for booing their anthem, which suggests they do. The media came down on them like a ton of bricks and surprise surprise they backed off.
I have bumped this just to post the following nicked from the Daily Mail...…………….
Legia Warsaw were fined £70,000 for a banner which showed a UEFA badge, a pig dressed in a suit and the words: 'Because football doesn't matter, money does.' Celtic were fined £20,000 for a banner which read: 'F*** UEFA.'
It seems it is not just us that think the corrupt fat bastards in charge deserve abuse. The other reason to post is compare these fines (for basically slagging off the organisers) to fines for racist chanting.

It really is time for a combined campaign from fans against UEFA. The way all fans have been treated so far for both European finals this year is a disgrace. United fans were charged over £100 to be treated like shit at Barcelona. The UK media has mostly mocked City fans for booing the anthem but UEFA is a truly disgusting organisation. The booing hasn't worked so now it's time for something else. Perhaps we should work with the FSF in a more co-ordinated way.I have bumped this just to post the following nicked from the Daily Mail...…………….

Who said city as a club don't want to win the competition?I care because I want my club to be a top club in Europe and this mentality doesn't help. You've already seen Pep's frustration at the fans apathy. If you want to be the best you have to be able to attract the best and if top players and coaches know that City are a club that aren't interested in winning the Champions League then they will go somewhere else where they are interested. The Champions League might not be the pinnacle for you but it is to the vast majority of football fans and it certainly is to players and managers.

Take City out of the equation for the moment, as you say the way Arsenal and Chelsea have been shit on is a disgrace. 1.000's of miles from where the finalists are coming from, one airport that can't handle the numbers, overpriced tickets, a stupid kick off time if you ever got there (11pm local time). Everything about the venue is wrong. Perhaps instead of the FSF doing surveys about stewards they should target the corrupt UEFA mob, they would have every English fan and most of Europe behind them.
I believe such response might not order well for the club. If the club and the players are yearning to win it then I surely will support them to win it for the club.going for gunners, so they make CL :)
The booing wouldn't change anything unless we become influenctial in competition just like how Madrid are,by wining it to have a voice. That's the only way to fight back and of course to make your point across.

Do you agree that the way they have treated Arsenal and Chelsea is disgraceful ? One player cannot even go to a country UEFA have selected because he fears for his safety and thousands of fans cant attend because there are no flights as the airport cannot cope. I bumped this thread but moved it away from City. The whole of UEFA is a disgrace and it is the normal fan that loses out every single time.

Couldn't agree more. The football authorities here and in Europe use the "divide and conquer" tactic. They exploit football fans because they know we are rivals and so partisan we rarely come together to fight together on any issue.Take City out of the equation for the moment, as you say the way Arsenal and Chelsea have been shit on is a disgrace. 1.000's of miles from where the finalists are coming from, one airport that can't handle the numbers, overpriced tickets, a stupid kick off time if you ever got there (11pm local time).

FFP is a great example of this. Fans of our rivals love to use it as stick to beat us ignoring the fact that these corrupt and illegal rules prevent their own clubs from progressing by properly investing. Former great clubs like Everton for example will find it impossible to attract investment under the present regime which protects their local (already established) rivals Liverpool. City are the last club to squeeze into the closed shop at the top of the game.
