Reading all sorts of reports today it is easy to believe that the French forces were poorly prepared and heavy handed. What is missing from any article is the context and history of the dippers forays into Europe and the madness and consequences that follows. This is not opinion it’s fact.
And the fact that no article has even touched on this and Klopps call to arms and the significance of todays date and the posted internet articles about sellers of dodgy tickets etc. is pathetic.
Most footy fans of other clubs could have advised that there would be problems. There most often are when the dippers are overseas.

I suspect the UEFA investigation will come to this conclusion.
Lfc have previous both at home and in Europe.
Hope they ban the cunts.

This is where Uefa setting the rules will be a delight to watch.

They will fine Liverpool and totally defend their own position.

What will be even funnier is how UEFA, bastions of truth and fair play when going after City, will turn into amateur no marks, with not an ounce of integrity, over the next week!!

An all English final last year with very little trouble and certainly no media coverage of trouble, which suggests the issue is not being a fan of an English club, just being fans of one club in particular…..

One of the Diddy Men leading Liverpool’s firm last night

On Sky now is the liverpool Echo Head of Football, Joe Rimmer, how incredibly apt!

Edit - He just said there is very little evidence of any bad fan behaviour!!!!

Didn’t we play 2 less games last season to what Liverpool have this season? Not a peep from the media about it either.

The Stade De France has hosted World cups, Euro 2016, six nations rugby, various concerts. I have never heard of this happening before, it’s not like they have hosted events as big as this previously. The one factor that’s caused this is Liverpool supporters being Liverpool supporters.

Absolutely agree with you, especially the list of top sporting and other events that have been held at Stade de France.

I went there with a United pal of mine who lived in Paris for over 20 years, to see the France-Italy World Cup quarter-final in 1998. The stadium and the crowd management was very impressive. My pal has been to Saint-Denis for all sorts of sports/music events and in conversation with him today he expressed the same thoughts as you.

And as I've been saying since last night, our supine, partial media should be starting its reporting of this repeat performance by Liverpool fans by simply asking the comparative question.. 'Why were there no similar problems with the Real Madrid allocation/section of the ground?'

Instead, we've been treated thus far to gaslighting by our sports media on an industrial scale, which that cuddly, cheeky-chappy 'Uncle Walt' Putin could only marvel at..

Why did the 'locals' only try and jib in at the Dipper's end?

Well said, thats way more insightful than all the biased shite I have read so far.

In fact, I seriously reckon there is more truth and common sense spoken about last night on here than on any "news" outlet.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

If anyone doubted that "fearless reporting" was dead, media coverage of last night's shameful events, is the proof.

Craven, cowering, spineless, supine, submissive and shameless capitulation to their weaponised fanbase. If the scousers' behaviour was disgusting, the behaviour of our media certainly sits firmly alongside it.

I can tell you for a fact that not one desk wanted to know when I reminded them it was the Heysel anniversary on the same day as today's 'victory' parade.

I was told 'thanks', but we're not going near it.
