Seems it was pre-meditated by some 'Ultras' group. 73 dead so far - sickening.

Isn't it mainly because of political tension?

Someone started a rumour that they were getting McFadden.

Not really a subject to joke about though, and speculation is rife that it was instigated by those loyal to Mubarak as the away fans were on the front line during the political unrest in Tahir.
