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

[Shevin Keedy]

If all of these bloggers had got in and the ground was full to capacity, then why was the Liverpool end mostly empty?

Well exactly, had a load of bloggers gotten in we would know because they'd have blogged about it by now on their blogs.

 

[BlueToff]

We usually arrive earlier than that for games at Wembley ? You never been ?

'We usually'?

Everton have been to Wembley three times since the new one was built mate...

And no, I was 14 for the FA Cup final and didn't get tickets, was working the 2016 semi-final and was never gonna get a ticket for the 2012 derby.

 

[BlueToff]

The Liverpool manager told them all to turn up.

If you increase the amount of people, you increase the amount of trouble.

It’s that simple mate.

UEFA build fan parks in each city to encourage people to go and watch the games who don't have tickets... it's for people before the match and during it, which is why they keep the big screens up.

Liverpool should have - in conjunction with UEFA - arranged transport to and from the fan parks. It could have been chaperoned public transport or chartered coaches etc. Something could have been done.

It wouldn't have stopped them handing over responsibility to the stadium organisers/police/UEFA when they got there but would have at least meant fans were in with the club and in one place relatively safe, or kept back until space had been created.

So you haven’t got a clue then . Btw I went the euros in the summer . Wembley was packed at 3pm for an 8pm ko (Italy v Austria)

Not really.

If you go back and read what it was about, someone was saying that what started the riot police coming out with pepper spray etc was people getting into the ground with fake tickets - idiots bunking people in. Yet clearly, that wasn't it, because the people who did bunk in 'successfully' got away with it - they got in the ground, so they got past the riot police...

some slight of hand that.
so the fake tickets and no tickets in the ground werent the issue? and youre upset the fake ticket issue has been raised as an issue?
what line could have been drawn and where that wouldnt have been a flash point or sidestepped? on the beaches? in the fields? never surrender?

Never have so many been betrayed by so few!

 

[BlueToff]

You really are a bit of a bell

Why? Because I'm not bitter and twisted enough to disbelieve my own eyes and ears and think that 40,000 - the population of an average town - turned up with fake tickets?

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

America must laugh at us over here when it comes to stuff like this.

No, I'm sure we have our own issues with it...but they let everyone in the world walk around with their life savings information embedded in a piece of plastic these days so I don't know why stuff like this is stuck in the ice age. We implemented something for season ticket holders a couple years ago, didn't we?

I'm doing my best but I'm totally losing the plot here. Villa are two nil up. They are going to win the bleeding league.

And I've got that kopite sod next door saying he's already booked a luxury bus round trip to Paris from the Rocket and he knows how to bunk in for free.

I'm going to have to stop reading this now. Can't take it anymore. Couldn't even get home tonight as they closed the train station early.

I posted a video before of them checking out the gates and the security. DAYS before.
Thats also linked to the account who posts them all robbing everything from service stations and videoing it for likes.

They can’t behave themselves mate. It’s that simple.
They play up to the Thieving Scouser on a tour thing and it boils my piss.

 

[Goat]

and said there were plenty of Liverpool fans already there... then more arrived (as they would).

Would you expect to have to arrive at any sporting event 2-3 hours before kick-off???

I text my brother just before kick off to ask if he got in ok and he said he had been in for over 2 hours like.

it was 22,000 capacity for Italy v Austria...

I’m starting to think that the fake ticket graft at Paris is @BlueToff ‘s

If they had put as much graft into the assault rifle plot as your man is putting into defending the ticketless reds we could have had a situation on our hands.

Fully automatic assault rifles, by the way.

I see the fella that UEFA have appointed to lead their investigation is a former member of the World Anti Doping Foundation Board.
I hope his brief is wide ranging.

Be hilarious if all the cards started to crumble
