The media narrative this morning appears to be yes, we acknowledge there were thousands of ticketless fans descending on a stadium that was subject to an horrific terrorist attack in the not too distant past and yes, as a direct consequence, action by the authorities resulted in congestion which in turn delayed entry to holders of legitimate tickets. However, there's a small problem with this version of events in that it doesn't correspond with a well worn agenda requiring that the dippers are found to be blameless regardless of their culpability. So, here we are again. We'll spin the story such that the blame lies squarely with the Paris police and Stade de France authorities. Sound familiar? A coincidence surely.
