Manchester

[The Lone Gunman]

Yes, right you are LG. How silly of football fans to turn up for the biggest final of their club in 30+ years with no tickets.

Ridiculous.

With attitudes like that we will continue to see evenings like this one and Hillsborough and the scenes we saw of the England fans in Stuttgart.
Get a grip you tit. These people are not fit to walk the streets let alone attend a football match and you seem to want to associate with them.

Just what is the point of travelling to Manchester with no hope of getting into the ground?
Manchester was in a no win situation. If they had not tried to provide screens and had been harder with the policing then the riot would have kicked off earlier and there would have been uproar because they didnt provide screens.

I am still hearing no condemnation of this behaviour from you.

I think you need to get a grip, and get off your moral high horse. I'm not defending them (And I have condemed them, just read my posts before accusing me), they're the enemy as far as I'm concerned, and 80,000 Celtic fans turned up in Seville showing how it should be done.

But I'm also fairly balanced, and appreciate that it's entirely possible a handful of idiots who follow any club, in any sport, in the wrong set of circumstances, can spoil it for the vast majority or give them a bad name. Unfortunate but true.

Should that disallow people from travvelling to games without tickets - clearly you're not really a football fan (Or even much of a sprts fan I guess), and especially know SFA about major tournaments, cause being at the game at a world cup or euro is about 20% of the fun, and a fantastic time can be had just being around the whole thing.

And BTW, you seem to imply Hillsborough was the fault of the fans in your post. Be very very careful what you say there, cause that is extremly wrong, and extremly offensive to a great many people. I'm sure any Liverpool fans reading this will put you right on that one.

The Irish were a lot worse and did a lot more damage. I suppose we get it in the neck from the Taffies next

9 months eh?

As Billy Connolly said

There are two seasons in Scotland: June and winter.

What I can't understand is why travel in the first place? I mean, if I had been a Rangers fan, living in Glasgow, I'd have rather been in my own city centre watching it on a big screen than travel to another city centre to watch it. I don't get the mentality of wanting to be in the city where the game is to take place, espcially given that there was virtually no chance of getting a ticket. Have the big party/riot in your own city.
