This is the post I wanted to write. Thanks for doing so cbl. Guido must have left the ground so proud and happy to make his way home to celebrate. He’s seen us at our best, seen the great KDB, no doubt loved talking to fellow blues at the ground, picking up some petrol and on way home to really drink it all in.
Then shithouse sub humans struck, took away the memory of what must have been a great day and, God I hope he’s not too badly injured. They’ve been arrested, now they need severe punishment. I don’t know how Belgian law works but I don’t care if it’s a first offence, I don’t care if there was a bystander among them, they should all be put away for a long time.
I’m so sorry for Guido and feel so sad. Perhaps because I, like others, have been in a similar situation through no fault of our own but got away with it.
I’m angry too, not just at the Brugge bastards, but the whole Ultra movement and especially to the posters and threads that pop up on here glorifying the hooligan era. Fine, you can wallow in your own warped nostalgia “we fucking did Leeds at Maine Rd”, “remember how we took Stoke?”, or on a lot of post match threads “was there any trouble?” “Did you see it kick off?” but why inflict it on the rest of us when that exact same attitude has ended up with this tragedy.
Please also spare us the “Bruges are going to get a kicking” which has already been intimated in this thread. If you can’t see the link between that and Guido then I give up.
Hope Guido and his family pull through
