But you'll argue vehemently in favour of free markets which do exactly that.

WOT?

The analogy isn't perfect but it doesn't need to be, as the underlying concept is so utterly simple: punishing a broad range of people for something they didn't do, wouldn't condone and didn't encourage is rash and unfair.

Because the relationships between the various parties aren't the same and football fans don't get paid for going to games.

You would be more comparable to a player in this instance. The analogy isn't perfect but it doesn't need to be, as the underlying concept is so utterly simple: punishing a broad range of people for something they didn't do, wouldn't condone and didn't encourage is rash and unfair.

More English fans attacked in Rome.

When will UEFA man up and hand the associated clubs a ban?

The problem is how can they prove it was the fans who caused the violence ?

What is to stop a rival club rocking up and causing hell hoping that the club will get punished.

UEFA will hide behind

Can you articulate why this perfectly reasonable analogy is it a load of gibberish tosh?

I bet you can't.

Dissuading people to commit criminal offences is the state's job.

I was going to comment on your stupidity but I can't be arsed.

No it proves that your 'argument' as expressed was such a load of gibbering tosh that I assumed you must be a simpleton.

Because those who suffer will see to it that those responsible are dissuaded from doing it any more.

Ohh insults. That PROVES beyond doubt that you are right and i am wrong.

The Campo can be a little tasty late at night. They were a bit naive though after Arsenals reception a few years ago! Simple precautions would have made it less likely.

Don't congregate in large numbers wearing football shirts for an extended length of time in
a place known for this kind of stuff.

The point is very valid. Why should the club and players and other fans suffer because some fans are stabbing people?

Put a valid argument up and we might listen to you rather than laughing behind your back.

as for the fight unless you ban both teams you aren't going to solve anything.

If a customer at your clientco stabbed someone would you be happy if your gig was canned?

If one of your brain cells understood how stupid you are would you stop posting?
