Surprise surprise the French Police are targeting Blues.

Compare that with how they'll be treated by our Police over here..

 

[The_Street_End]

Poor effort from the police that. I fear it will kick off later nearer to the match. This won't end well. Hope i'm wrong though..

Happening right now:

 

[ste d' indica]

Does anyone know if Merseyside police have got representation over there?

Seems like chronic mismanagement from the French that.

 

[Azzurri]

Absolutely scum these police.

Lads having a coffee and some good getting tear gassed ffs.

What do the turn the other cheek brigade reckon to that?

 

[KevMirallas]

I'm concerned at how tits up this could all go. The French seem to be setting quite the mood, who knows what it could result in.

About five minutes before these reports came in, there were pictures and videos of lads have a song and kids kicking balls around with their dads. And the rozzers have gone in and done that.

Sounding like a load of victims here. Not read all of it but to suggest an unprovoked attack has happened is naive at best.

They do apparently. The French just have watched Green Street abar 50 times as preparation

 

[superkeeper]

Rubber bullets being fired according O'Keeffe, disgraceful.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Stay safe blues.

The Police and the authorities in France simply don't know how to manage football fans. The last game between Bastia and Nice ended with a small riot and pitch invasion partly because of terrible decisions from local authorities (like forbidding Corsican flags / colors... Plain stupid !)

 

[riddick]

What the hell, rubber bullets being fired at fans now??

 

[Azzurri]

Is it though?

Because we've got a reputation of having perfect behaviour in Europe all the time and even the French are saying it's unprovoked.

I'm guessing you've never been at an away game if you don't think this could possibly be unprovoked?

 

[Coach]

Christ knows what will happen at the ground tonight with all those people who have tickets for the Lille end.
