I remember Klopp saying it was dangerous and should not happen, and RS fans calling for us to be docked points and be relegated. Yet we are bitter.
There is blame to be shared around. But people who tried, or succeeded, in getting in without a legit ticket, are responsible for their own actions and have certainly made the job for security a lot harder.

2900 breached the initial perimeter with fake tickets.
40,000 attempts to enter the stadium with fakes/no tickets in total.
They’ll be rounding on the main number but it’s absolutely correct, not to mention the amount of people who were trying to gain entry after having their legit tickets stolen by fellow reds around the ground.
Much of the blame lies with Klopp, a throwaway comment by him (and he knew what he was doing) has led to a chain of events where they’ve once again shamed the country/city.
Ultimately, the best possible outcome of all of this is that Super League finally happens and we can wash our hands of them whilst they go and play Benfica 5 times a season.

Shame there isnt some scab-league side in Siberia. kick some of these right in the gulags.
Think some stuff is getting lost in translation here, the reference to 2600 or so fans I saw referred to the number of fans with legit tickets who didn’t get into the ground. I have no idea if that number is correct.

Can't turn the telly or radio on without them going on about the poor Liverpool fans. I suppose that's help detract from the team's performance in the final.

that number is the number of people who got past the initial checks with fake tickets,

As it was a packed house then that's 2600 fakes... minimum.
I just hope that the authorities in uk and France plan to use all cctv available, and start identifying and issuing travel bans to as many RS troublemakers as possible. Didn’t the uk police use to send a few undercover officers to travel amongst fans, during big events like this, to gather information in case of incidents. Mind you were talking about the same police force who didn’t convict one person after the city bus trashing, despite a mountain of evidence!
Absolutely agree.
Doesn't excuse the rest of the shambles or the lying though, and they are lying, because 40k people did not go the stadium without tickets, which is what they've suggested.
This is the same country and police force that tear gassed Evertonians in Lille for standing in a square.

An aggressive and adversarial manager , who has a history of egging people on to travel, without tickets.
A Media that is supine and terrified of any perceived slight towards the Cult.
A fan-customer base with a record for causing murder and mayhem.
Add a police force renowned for their 'robust' handling of events.
No one should be surprised how it all unfolded on Saturday night.

Given the memory of Hillsborough disaster, the authorities need to go after the ticket forgers and throw the book at them.
Fans were always going to chase tickets, wherever they could get them, it’s not their fault they were sold forgeries. UEFA are also at fault. They create a black market themselves by selling their own allocated tickets.
There were also reports of thecUEFA digital ticketvsystem not working properly and needing several attempts to scan valid tickets.
Perhaps tickets need to be sold to named individual.

Hang on, I have not absolved them. They are to blame for their own stupid actions.
But all the government have said that the fake tickets did was cause the bottleneck, which is why they then removed the checks (this is as per their statement today).
The fake tickets didn't result in police tear gassing people, according to the French government. And there's videos that clearly show people simply scanning tickets and then getting pepper sprayed as they walk in through the turnstiles.
There's no defence of that.
