It lies squarely with the cretins that took part.

Liverpool fans blame everyone apart from themselves all the time. Looks like it’s spreading.

A murderer couldn’t go to court and say that he stabbed someone because there wasn’t a suitable barrier, he was upset by the victims flag or there wasn’t enough security to stop them from murdering.

Find them, ban them for 3 years then only let them back if they make a public apology.
Agreed. It's a sad truth in todays society. In our obsession with trying to learn why people behave the way they do, we seem to have completely diluted the part that says personal responsibility.

There will always be contributory factors to why anything happens, thats just basic science. But unless someone is medically lacking capacity then the final decision stays with the individual.

So yeah the stewarding may have been slack, there may have been some flags put where they shouldn't be, no coppers inside the ground, too much drinking on an empty head, too much salt in the pies, too much rain in the valleys- whatever. None of it would have happened without the idiots who got involved, not caring if there were young people with families around them to witness their behaviour. Not caring if the objects they indicriminately threw into a crowd hit a child or a pensioner. The fault lies with those people and the sooner we can get them away from our football clubs the better.
