ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3


You'll see Liverpool winning more league cups and fa cups from now on. Klopp gave them competitions no respect the the last few seasons but this year the penny has dropped that its his best chance of winning things.
 

Having spent a lot of time in France over the past 20 years or so, I'm well aware that the French police don't mess about when it comes to these situations - but by the same token, if you're not doing anything wrong, you generally don't have anything to worry about. Of course, the narrative that will be/is being spun in the UK won't note that the French police will have been acutely aware of what happened 37 years ago today; when they saw supporters of the same club again trying to rush a stadium, it really can't have surprised anyone to learn that they didn't sit on their hands.

French saying about the fake tickets, aggressive crowd, no issue at Madrid side and showing the state of Nation area and attacks on cops/locals/fans on each other ?

I work near Nation , maybe 10 minute walk , and started calm yesterday morning but by 4 , all local french were complaining about redshite fans and you could sense there was something building up ? Even on way home before 8, redshite fans at Chatelet and main metro line trying to get to stadium ?

what we never see in these clips is what precipitated the plods action, we don't see the bottle throwing or fights breaking out or whatever. This isn't a banana republic we are dealing with, they will be answerable for their actions and something will have caused the bizzies to do that, we just haven't seen it. As others have mentioned, it is possible to sit and not get caught up in this action
 
they are, sadly, a very good team but all this "greatest team in the world" guff really has fallen flat on it's face in the last few weeks

Media have to hype them up as they have so many telly clappers but the plain truth is that they are not the best

can't even bring up Net SPenD ThOugH against MAdrid
