| French Police and UEFA | |
| By: jacksamuel21 Date: May 29, 2022, 5:22 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 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. | |

| And now the French Minister is coming out with fake stats to | |
| blame all the supporters and is praising the french police and | |
| staff for their organisation. What a joke. He also comments how | |

| And as said before one could equally argue the PM, Mersey Police | |
| and English F A blaming the French police and authorities, | |
| painting Liverpool as being whiter than white and laying no | |
| blame at the door of Liverpool fans is also a joke. | |
| A proper investigation is needed but all I would add is that, | |
| once again as in previous incidents, it never seems to be | |
| Liverpools fault, always everyone else�s. | |

| Almost certainly there will have been faults on all sides, but | |
| so much claim and counterclaim does not help clarify the | |
| situation. Hopefully the independent investigation will be just | |
| that, independent. | |
| Which said it does seem in poor taste for Liverpool to arrange a | |
| bus top celebratory tour on the anniversary of the Heysel | |
| disaster. | |

| There's no smoke without fire, and absolutely no doubt that | |
| there were lots of Liverpool fans there without tickets. | |
| There's also a video of Liverpool fans mounting a violent and | |
| totally unprovoked attack on a Madrid supporter. I don't | |
| understand why clubs encourage ticketless fans to travel, it is | |
| asking for trouble. | |
| No doubt the French authorities made a mess of it as well, as | |
| almost always in these things multiple parties are at fault. | |
