Liverpool fans...

Someone spare a thought for @Fordy117

He thought he was getting a quad, and ended up with a moped.

 

Or 'mop head' maybe...

 

UEFA statement admits fans were pepper sprayed after kick off while waiting to get in to the game to force them away from the stadium. How would you react to being denied entry to the game by the french police despite holding a valid ticket??

Your narrative that its all the Liverpool supporters fault is clearly wrong.

 

Sounds like the organisation was a total shambles. And why were some fans pepper sprayed on leaving the ground?

These things are rarely just the fault of any one party. I've no doubt that disorganisation was a factor.

 

How do you know they all held a valid ticket?

If I could somehow prove it I'd be willing to bet the reality was very different.

 

Victim FC

It’s never their fault

 

Nothing wrong with mopeds!

How the mighty have fallen. It annoyed me the press were touting them as quadruple favourites and "can they do it?"...when in reality it was never in their own hands as they found out last Sunday. Made me laugh when Owen spouted after the game that Real Madrid have beaten the "best team in Europe" (Liverpool) and Rio asked how can they be the best team in Europe when they didn't win the league.

I'm pretty sure the foul up before kick off was 50/50. Some fans taking a chance no doubt, but for sure the organising body will have messed up somewhere along the line, because they always do. There's no way on Earth that the World Cup is going to go smoothly. These guys can't organise the proverbial.

 

Taking the law into your own hands because you might get annoyed at being late into a football match is never acceptable.

 

Is it law or just guidelines?

 

how do all the people claiming ticketless fans forced their way in know they were ticketless?

 

they were forcing their way through because they had shut the gate not the other way round. When it was open they didn’t have to force their way through or climb over it as it was open

 

Because they're were more fans there than tickets available.

Simple maffs innit.

 

I didn't say they all held a valid ticket and for the Police to pepper spray groups of fans standing waiting to get into the ground is shocking.

I doubt the system checking the tickets is fit for purpose anyway as a Liverpool player gave a mate a ticket (given to him by the club itself) and he was turned away being told his ticket was a fake.

 

Yeah you did.

"How would you react to being denied entry to the game by the french police despite holding a valid ticket??"

That's what you put. It's in the post I quoted.

 

Sad to read that people still blame Liverpool fans for some aspects of the Hillsborough disaster and are now saying things like 'Well they've got form for this sort of thing' etc.

The Liverpool fans were cleared of all blame. All. Stories of drunk fans, late fans, fans without tickets, fans storming gates and the rest were made up by police to cover their own dreadful handling of the situation. The crime is that those responsible haven't faced adequate justice.
