Indeed I agree.

I have to question UEFA and their social media watchdogs. The reason is after the Dortmund incident why where they not pro-active in ensuring the route was cleared for our team bus because let's face it. It was all over social media for over a week or so before the game.

Certainly not the Scouse Cult anyway.
Can we get back to the point.
They’re more like militant Moonies than RCs.
Is that better?

Noolie, the more footage you see of this, the worse it gets.
There is absolutely no way any opposition team should be made run the gauntlet like this.
Watch the burning flares on top of the bus in this video.
This could have got seriously out of hand.

Many years ago I would've supported this but back then I was an absolute prick.
Age gets to us all and I do wonder how my granddaughter would feel?
So glad we've moved on from those times.

I don't disagree mate. It's just that we knew this was coming (they even told us so) and we laughed at it. Still it did affect us and that's why we as fans look stupid. We thought our players were above it.

I certainly didn’t laugh at it. I know some put a bravado front on it, but that’s not a normal reception and I don’t know if it’s what people expected.
I personally prefer to keep my powder dry beforehand and like our team to do the same.
I’ll do the same before Tuesday, but this for whatever reason has me really riled.
It’s more disbelief that this sort of stuff is actually allowed in an overly PC society that exists in every other aspect of life.
I’m starting to get a small spark of hope back that this will be a catalyst for fans and team alike to pull something spectacular out of the bag.
We can only hope.

i couldn‘t give a fcuk about it all .
After seeing videos with the attack on the team bus all i can say is a massive compliment to the policemen that look after those horses. Fcuking magic , not one blink or panic moment from those horses. Brilliant management .
So let‘s hammer the scouse on the pitch Tuesday.

Have to say Noolie, I for one did not poo poo or laugh it off in any way, others may be but not fuckin me.
This shit started in less than an half an hour of the draw, all their istreeee and pedigreeeeeee in Europe has not changed in the last 40 years where their shit house fans are concerned. They got away with murder literally and have carried on ever since.
Anyone who can pride themselves on intimidation and then pass it on generation to generation (how many sub 10 yr olds did you see sitting proudly on their dads shoulders there to experience it first hand??????)
There isn't a city anywhere else in Europe that has such a vile population of proud to be work shy, where there's a blame, victims whom are so pleased and unreservedly proud to be just what they are.
About the only thing these cunts didn't drag back from the 80's was Derek the cunt Hatton....

I have two questions; did they destroy our coach for the 96? And why were they all stood up when throwing their missiles? Surely it should have been all-seater.
