ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Yeah it’s been funny, mad thing is most fans of every other team know exactly what they are and see right through them. The media harp on about how great they are and how great the fans are, which ultimately leads to whenever another final comes round the same thing will happen again. They’re never held responsible for their behaviour, so they keep doing the same things. The media are utterly terrified of them.
thats the word.
 

Bit of a side issue that’s been driving me insane, and one repeated by Lord Howard on Channel 4, is this issue that that UEFA put the message on the boards inside the stadium saying that the delay was due to late arriving fans and how this was “a lie”.

What exactly did you think they would put up as a message? “Delays due to cops shoeing scumbags without tickets”? Why would they put up messages that could potentially make fans inside the stadium restive or panicky?

It’s evidence of absolutely nothing and yet it’s being presented like it’s a cornerstone of an anti-RS conspiracy.
"Everyone take it easy, theres riots with police 30 feet away, tear gas used, here the naff singer, nothing to see here"

Ian Byrne MP demands apology on channel 4 now. "we were treated like animals" well you grubby little oinker, your hooligans are animals and theres an abbatoir for you and your ilk somewhere.
 

Just seen hardened Tory scum Sandra Howard whining about this. Laughable.

These knobheads vote to send refugees to Rwanda. And then start pointing fingers. Utterly ridiculous. Put your own house in order.
you listening to this MP? "french police needs sorting theyve got a lot of big events coming up" whos he to challenge anyone or anything. ideas above his station that pish-flap.
 
Yeah, saw that. Next interviewee has launched the Hillsborough card.

Imagine when your and your husbands party treat some of the worlds most vulnerable people like that, having the brass neck to complain. Utter scum.

Sort your immigration policy out and treat people how you seemingly want to be treated.

Hows she got a ticket as well? Was hers a fake ticket? Wouldnt surprise me with that lot. Tories are full of nonsense.

Saudi vip my guess.
 
Disagree, if this report is accurate and two of the three most senior managers were not available in the lead up that is very poor management.

That is especially true if you think that Liverpool fans are more problematic than other fans.

I’ve also seen reports of Madrid fans having problems, particularly as they were leaving.



Seems to me there is plenty of blame to go around tbh

Has anyone asked her?
Why, when and where, would Madrid and kopite fans need to band together if they were approaching opposite ends of the ground as directed? And just whereabouts in the Madrid end where riot police and gates closed.

Yea. Though Byrne was a bit better. He hasnt votes to deport refugees to concrentation camps and then whining because of being left in a cue.

He dodged the question as to why fans on social media were bragging about blagging in.
 
The cover up we are witnessing right before our eyes is truly astonishing, but not at all surprising.

From the bizarre, and quite frankly racist, blaming of the trouble on local French/African youths perpetuated by Sky Sports, to the complete ignorance of all the ticketless supporters who turned up at the request of the Liverpool manager and the shocking behaviour that has been captured and shared through countless social media videos - we are seeing an absolutely shameful attempt to dress this whole farce up by the swarm of Kopites who have infested every single outlet of the press.

The 'profession' of Sports Journalism now has to be the most pointless jobs around. It was circulated on social media pre-match that there were blag tickets going around, did one single journalist ever think to do their actual job and investigate it a little and warn unsuspecting supporters to only buy tickets from verified sources? Of course not. And how many fans showed up with tickets that were fake, completely unbeknownst to them, and have now been scammed out of possibly thousands of pounds.

The uncomfortable truth is the heavy handed tactics used by the French plod possibly avoided a mass casualty incident. You could tell by the images on TV that the Liverpool end was completely over-capacity, with many of the fans forced into the stairways. It would have been even worse if the police didn't stand strong, as the sheer number of Liverpool fans who turned up would have completely overwhelmed the stadium staff.

It is high-time, in the year 2022, that a light is shined on that club and its fanbase and it is told some uncomfortable truths about itself. It is obvious they will never reform from within, they've just held a parade on the anniversary of a date where they killed 39 people for god's sake. They must be read the riot act by UEFA, who let them off scot-free for the City bus attack a few years ago. They must be told in no uncertain terms that their behaviour will simply no longer be tolerated.

Absolutely brilliant post. Spot on.
 

I don't think many Madrid fans did get gassed. They did have trouble getting into the stadium, which is what I said earlier...
Because they turned up early and they all had a legit ticket perhaps.

….the same bloke tweeted about Everton fans beat up their wives and girlfriends when we get beat. Misogynist, I wish a reporter would put that to him.

He’s in public office.
