That's horrific. Sounds like a combination of bad fan behaviour and bad police overreaction. Also seems like the poor sods who died were the ones at the back trying to escape the tear gas, rather than the idiots who started the trouble.

I aren't saying this glibly either, I just feel its a very difficult situation with not many (if any) good options and it's all too easy to blame the authorities when they clearly didn't instigate the original crowd disorder. -
