Re: French Police and UEFA

Appalling organisation from the French Police and UEFA. Sending 20,000 Liverpool fans down a small ally as they had blocked off most of it with police vans- causing a crush. Then locking the turnstiles for no reason and then deciding that firing tear gas because a few French gangs tried to force their way in.

During the final minutes French Riot police lined up in front of the Liverpool fans but none appeared at the Madrid end. Liverpool fans where tear gassed while leaving and attacked by French gangs while the Police watched.

Police at the fan parks where attacking people as well for no apparent reason.

The French need to sort their police out and its becoming an issue for UEFA after the Euros and Now This.

I think we all need to be very careful in our assessment and not jump to premature conclusions her. Mobile phone footage doing the rounds clearly shows Liverpool fans without tickets climbing over barriers, dodging stewards and getting in, totally appalling; on the other hand someone from Mersey police is claiming Liverpool fans behaved impeccably. Who do we believe? I have seen reports that the French police were too heavy handed but also reports that their actions could have prevented scenes similar to Heysel and even Hillsborough.
UEFA need to sort it out I agree but for Liverpool fans to claim it was all someone else’s fault and not theirs in part would seem groundless. The evidence would suggest otherwise.
Let’s keep this in perspective until all the facts are out there.

The SKY news reporter sums it up perfectly. I have been to the Stade De France and the used the entrance Liverpool fans used. The fence the are climbing over is to avoid the crush caused by the bottleneck created by French police. The fans climbing into the stadium are local french gangs- according to Sky and many other journalists and supporters. French police attacked Liverpool supporters and closed gates preventing fans with tickets getting in.

Funny how none of this seemed to happen with real madrid fans. as has been said above, the videos doing the rounds don't show liverpool fans to be totally blameless.

I have seen Real Madrid fans climbing into the stadium and Madrid fans complaining. The fact many of the liverpool turnstiles where closed and the French Police van was blocking most of the entrance was not an issue at the other end.
