They need to ban the Italian teams imo, first they have the match fixing scandal then all the hooliganism and now they're running the risk of sparking off aninterstellarballistic war.
Lollies, interstellar missiles :no2:Quote:

Carnage ensued.
Guess who got the worst of it.
Fucking insane.
This is just another example of the "halo effect." In actual fact Man Utd are fekking useless; the opposing teams, are often actually playing against what they think, they (Man Utd.) used to play like and not how they actually do play. This is all part of Man Unt. campaign of disinformation. Rome saw this "chink" in their halo, that's all, no big deal.
Top of the top league in the World (and that sticks in my craw to say btw) kind of gives lie to your contention there, old bean.

I think one or two Italian police died in the riots that preceeded the recent closure of some grounds in Italy - so the riot police weren't about to err on the side of caution when 'subduing' the United fans.Quote:

There should definitely have been just as many police on the Roma side of the fence tho', for there to be just fat stewards added to the mentalist feel of the night.

As I understand it these aren't normal Italian Policemen in riot gear, like our chaps do if required. They are just mental bastards who do that for a living. That could be pish tho' it's just summat I heard like
They are, in fact a big, well organised, well equiped gang. Looking for a fight. They don't actually subdue people, they give them a right good beating when they are down. You saw that last night. One chap who was down must have got clubbed at least another 12-15 times. That's a doing, not crowd control.
Having said that, you could sort of see it coming. Especially when a few of your chaps decided to rush the opposition crowd who were taunting them. The Italians just wade in then. They don't really give a feck who they are cluubbing. They see everyone in your crowd as fair game.
There was a depressing inevitability about the whole thing.
Indeed, the Dutch support are well known for their good behaviour when travelling.Quote:

I hadn't heard that they weren't proper police - but the evidence last night certainly suggests what you say. In addition to that one chap getting clubbed senseless while he was on the floor, another put both his hands in the air, palms open and facing toward the riot mentalist as if to say, 'Alright, I've had enough' - only to be clubbed several more times.Quote:

To send a message to all visiting fans was probably the object of the exercise. The means of doing so did leave a nasty taste, however. Not to mention the physical damage to the blokes on the receiving end.
I think we probably went (Milan) when they were on best behaviour.
I apologise... more an Arsenal supporter, personally
I think they played brilliantly :) for 10 men with 10 legs!! f******* Ref ... is it acceptable to use the more correct terminology, "fucking"referee?
