City v Villa - Police release CCTV images of 24 fans

Ah!?

Because there wasn’t a single arrest or any identified Liverpool fans who attacked the coach.

I said the coach probably cost more to repair than the goal posts cost to replace, not Liverpool (probably) didn’t pay for the coach repairs, if they did?

So, one police force failing to do their job means another one also shouldn’t, because precedent?

Is that your argument?

It’s false equivalency. They are unrelated incidents being policed by different forces.

It’s scandalous that no one was arrested for the bus attack.

It isn’t scandalous that our fans broke the law and have been summoned.

The comments about the Police were additional.

I was making the point about City.

They’ll go after City fans who may have damaged a goal, brought a smoke bomb on the pitch, and done something else, but they won’t go after Liverpool fans who smashed up the City coach with Pep, the players, and the coaching staff in it, causing £1000’s of ‘criminal damage’.

City could have easily worked with Merseyside Police and GMP, if the two forces were prepared to investigate the coach attack, but for whatever reason City decided not to take the coach attack incident any further (strange that), as regards the Liverpool fans who attacked the coach.

As I’ve posted before, no doubt an apology form Liverpool FC, Merseyside Police, the promise it won’t happen again(Lol!) and the cost of repairing the coach was enough to appease City.

Perhaps an apology from the City fans identified in the pictures who may have damaged the goal (not charged yet), and the cost of a new goal post will also appease City? Of course it won’t.

As for the 1000’s of other City fans who invaded the pitch and technically broke the law, they can look forward to a new season, and perhaps another pitch invasion at the end of the season? Let’s hope the club and GMP are a bit more organised inside the Etihad so that doesn’t happen again.

How do we know how City acted with the Merseyside police?

Ultimately, the Merseyside Police chose not to summons anyone.

This doesn’t mean that the people snapping a crossbar don’t deserve punishment.

Taking this to the extreme, Jack The Ripper was never caught, so therefore no other murderer should ever be convicted again because of a previous failure.

Why do you ask questions when you already know the answer? We’re going around in circles.

The club didn’t pursue the coach attack further with Merseyside Police (fact) because there were no arrests. If the club wanted to take the coach attack further, Merseyside Police would have had to investigate the coach attack, identify the culprits via video footage(stood on their riot vans), etc, and charge those Liverpool fans with criminal damage.(against the coach) But they didn’t because……. We’ll leave it that.

How do you know that? The club could have been seething with the police for all we know.

Its still an irrelevance to what happened on the last day of the season.

The GMP site has this wording (my emphasis):

'The disorder by a select number of individuals from both clubs during the final Premier League fixture of the 2021/22 season at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday 22 May 2022 included criminal damage and the use of pyrotechnics'

Presumably criminal damage is partly the goalpost destruction.

I wonder what the Villa fans did, other than wave cup inflatables in an annoying manner, for 80 minutes.

They sang ‘he sold his soul and won fuck all’ for a few minutes too until Gundogan shut the thick fuckers up and they got to watch our fans serenading Jack in front of them
