The only thing that doesnt seem to be able to be discussed openly, is the behaviour of some Liverpool supporters mate. Seems to be a ban on admitting that people were blagging in.
I'm not sure what is alleged to have happened in Koln or Sweden, but doubt it's as bad as their behaviour. Remember at the derby they lobbed bricks at Evertonians for no reason.
I think we need need to tackle those difficulties before worrying about other things that are apparently "far worse". I'd like to know what is "far worse" than that?
You put "far worse" in quotes, but it's not clear where you're getting that quote from. Who said that?
In case you missed it, we've all been talking openly about LFC fans and their behaviour in this very thread. That's not taboo here, tho' we have recognised that the mainstream media are less keen. That's the consensus, of which i'm in broad agreement.
None of that's changed. But there is an additional element also at play,
highlighted by the video i was replying to.
That is a proper taboo subject, and not just on here, but even for French police themselves (hence their inaction).
It is possible to conclude that there were several reasons for the troubles in Paris:
- the behaviour of Liverpool fans.
- fake tickets.
- behaviour of 'local gangs' towards both sets of visiting supporters, and by extension the police inaction towards those gangs...
- ...while the police not being shy to act against the trouble-making red-shirts (which then caused some collateral stress amongst more-innocent fans).
Only one of those reasons is a truly
taboo subject.
