Do me a favour. They stormed the ground without tickets. Doesn’t take an investigation to work that out.

I am sure we share the same opinion, but it doth butter no parsnips in a court of law!

Time for UEFA to ban Liverpool from ANY European tournament for at least 10 years. Just look at the some reasons that cannot be disputed .................
Heysel
Bus greetings/wrecking
Fake tickets
Storming grounds
Etc

They are the scum of English football and should be handed a sever punishment - one that really hurts them.

Whilst not being at the level of Neville whipping up the herd of zebra, you do have to look at the likes of Spitty Aldridge & co, not to mention their press whores, who whip the scallies into a frenzy every time they play in Europe. You only have to listen to Spitty talking to Micah the other week on how he sees our approach to CL games as a bit on the tame side, making out we’re small time because we don’t smash coaches or pillage every village in Europe or take over capital cities, well Jamie you’ve got your answer, in fact you’ve had it since the early eighties, we are City….we’ll conquer Europe one day, just like the PL, but we’ll do it our way, with class

Totally mixed feelings on this one - dislike Liverpool more than any club in football and last Sunday was just the Liverpool perfect end to a fantastic season and Madrid Winning tonight topped it off - then I text my fiend from work, who along with her husband is a lifelong matchgoing Liverpool fan, and paid nearly a grand for 2 tickets having been successful in the club ballot.

It sounded horrendous, they were both pushed, hurt outside the stadium and were so shocked they left at half time. It was totally predictable , 20k Liverpool fans without tickets, the french police and to top it off UEFA - what could possibly go wrong!

All football fans know that many Liverpool fans are utter dickheads -whence the universal dislike of their club, but many, like my friends are decent people, who love their club as much as I love City.

Yes - the Police and UEFA will rightly have questions to answer, but you’d hope Liverpool (the club) and their fans must reflect on their behaviour and it’s impact -but somehow I doubt it.

Doubt it? There’s more chance of the US doing a u turn on the right to bear arms !

A bit of cctv should do the trick! I wonder why the RM fans encountered no issues getting into their end? Yet the whitewash has already commenced in the media. They are absolutely shameless and should face a European ban because of the behaviour of their fans.

I am really sorry if innocent people got hurt last night but how many times does the same thing have to happen with Liverpool fans before someone will admit they might actually have a problem?
Just blaming everyone else everytime there is trouble is never going to solve things,
The internet is full of videos of Liverpool fans trying to get into stadia without tickets, just look at there end in Wembley a few weeks ago when we played them, it was obvious there were far more people in that area than there should have been, but its always brushed under the carpet and covered up?
The truth is, Liverpool for whatever reason have a serious problem with some of there fans turning up for a football game either without tickets in the hope they might be able to get in anyway or with fake tickets which they have either got hold of knowing full well there are fake or sadly been duped by people selling them who knew they were fake,
Sadly untill the british media face the reality of the situation the problems with Liverpool games will continue & no amount of inquiries or investigations will make any difference.

Hope UEFA & the French authorities fight back against the Liverpool adoring media.
The narrative is already being set by the UK media as Liverpool fans are the victims in all of this

This Cup competition has, in its entire history, only delayed its final kick off time twice.
Tonight and in 1985
Coincidental that Liverpool were involved in both occasions or just bad luck?

 

[Saddleworth2]

I watched half of last nights game and have to say both teams looked mediocre. What is it about the CL final that induces a snooze fest?
I want us to win it but only to put the albatross out of its misery. Next season it looks like we will have a 'complete' squad - that is specialists for every position. It gives us our best chance so far.

 

[Whether or not]

Hope UEFA & the French authorities fight back against the Liverpool adoring media.
The narrative is already being set by the UK media as Liverpool fans are the victims in all of this

The media cover up and rewriting of history is in full swing yet again. The whole world knows the truth, but nobody will dare to say it.

'Fortunate we're not talking about a major disaster'​

Henry Winter
Chief Football Writer for the Times on BBC Breakfast
There was an incompetence from the authorities - there was a lack of leadership, poor stewarding, the police being twitchy. They were indiscriminately going and pepper spraying and then tear gas through the fences towards the Liverpool fans.
I was in the press box when they made the first announcement about the game being delayed because of the "late arrival of fans". Fans did not arrive late - they were arriving on time. You know that for games like this fans want to get to the ground early and some were queuing for two-three hours because of the strange configuration of the Stade de France when you come up for the Metro. That was exasperated by some of the blocks that they'd put in place.
We are fortunate that we're not talking about a major disaster this morning.

And then this:

there were some ticketless fans who did try and get in, but the people I saw trying to climb the fences were predominantly local kids.

No need for an investigation, Henry says that it's all down to the authorities, so clearly no dipper fans were to blame for any of the problems. Apparently, all those vids posted on here last night of people climbing the fences were local kids in dipper shirts!
You do wonder how this awful set of fans manage to maintain such a hold over the media.
