Just reading about the crowd troubles outside the ground at last nights game. Now we all know what the French police are like, we've been on the receiving end of their tactics once or twice ourselves during our rare European escapades. But I just can't help feeling that the Liverpool fans bring it upon themselves. literally 10s of thousands of ticketless fans would have travelled to Paris last night, and all of them would have genuinely believed they were entitled to get into the ground to watch the game. They always do it. I remember in Athens 2007 when thousands stormed the gates. One of my old clients was there with his wife and 2 young children and they found 4 thugs in their seats. When they asked them to move they were physically threatened. The two children were around 11/12 and were crying they were so scared. I mean these are their own fans ffs. I know my nephew (who is actually a season ticket holder) couldn't get a cup final ticket but he still went to Paris with one of these counterfeit tickets.
It does madden me slightly when I see everybody, the club, the media and even politicians, defending these fans when they should be trying to get to the root of the problem. This seemingly only ever happens when Liverpool are in the final, but not just that, it's every time Liverpool are in the final. There was seemingly no issues with the Real fans last night. It's time the RS media woke up and smelt the coffee. There's a common factor here guys.
