As if, Liam.
None of us would stop supporting City if we got a dig off an opposing fan.
I get your point. City don't encourage this sort of thing, but he's not going to stop supporting his team.
Eamonn what all this showed is Liverpool fans knew they could do what they wanted when they attacked our team bus as they had police backing. The mersey police should be blamed also. Now in Rome the Roma fans will know that the Italian police will give them as much leeway and I am fearful for the outcome. Thanks to our fans though in the 2nd leg for showing huge restraint and common sense.
Someone will end up dead, Michael.
Fully agree with your post. Having Roma knobheads get away with it too, isn’t the answer though, unless anyone wants to go back to making away trips an army manoeuvre.
Over a period of time you reap what you sow , LFC reputation in Europe is being played out for every decent type of folk to see , unfortunately the LFC vile scum get protection from Merseyside police , LFC and huge sections of the media . I ask you this ......... why do the huge TV companies who "own" English football predominately employ ex LFC players as pundits ??? I will leave that one with you pal xx
C64,
If I’m giving the impression I’m disagreeing about any of the causes, then sorry.
I’m in full agreement. They bring it on themselves, but deny any part in it.
The only part I may be of a different opinion is, as much as it’s gratifying to think, ‘it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch’,
having a Roma mob get away with as bad or worse isn’t really the long term solution.
A knob Head is a knob Head no matter where he’s from.
And Gillie is right. I know there were scuffles in the ground because knobheads were in the City end in the second leg of our tie with them, but on the whole I think the City fans showed great restraint in the face of the provocation.
