Todays games.

The aisles in the Liverpool end are/were packed which makes me wonder if forged tickets were used to gain entry, maybe why the turnstiles were closed ‘early’, feckin scousers so would not be at all surprised. The more sophisticated ground entry systems will close once the allocated number of tickets has been reached.

When the riot police started the tear gassing the BT pundits had been asking why are there massive gaps in the Liverpool end.To me it looks like yet another phuck up by UEFA and the French authorities.I have just listened to a guy on TalkSport saying his 9 year old son was tear gassed and is still in a state of shock.

I'm just wondering if this has anything to do with Brexit because there has been a lot of bad blood between the English and the French,ironically Liverpool like Scotland clearly voted to remain in the EU.

You could be right about forged tickets though mate because they are mentioned in a statement just released by UEFA,that still doesna justify using tear gas though.

Cannot speak for stadium as did not have a ticket.

We were on fanzone from 2pm. When it stopped the acts at 5pm an announcement on the big screen told ticket holders to head to stadium but fans without them to stay in fanzone as game would be shown on big screens.

We like a lot of others left the zone as the thought of being there in that heat with no shade, queuing to buy water at €2and €9 a pint for another 4 hours until kick off did not appeal. We were only 20 mins away from apartment so decided to head back, shower, eat then return.

Got to zone 45 mins before kick off. Riot police preventing Liverpool fans from entering saying fanzone was full but allowing locals in. Add to this we saw at least 100 fans leave at our exit (there were multiple entry/exit points) during our time there but still refusing us entry. A couple of Liverpool fans told us it was not as full as during the day but worth trying to get in as where they were it was mostly locals chanting for PSG and Madrid and they felt it would kick off later.

There was a big grassy circle opposite the entrance where Liverpool fans had congregated during the day. This was now filled with hundreds of young local males. Again you kinda sensed it could have potential for trouble.

We found a bar full of Liverpool fans but as game went on more and more local guys were turning up chanting for Madrid. When the goal went in and the final whistle went you would have thought PSG had won it. Flas onbs and flares Not sure if it was the French/Madrid connection of Zidane/Benzema or them just at the wind up.

We left the bar and as we headed back you could see squads of youths sprinting towards somewhere and riot police standing at their posts. As we walked up the road, we watched Liverpool fans being taunted by guys who were obviously PSG fans.

I would not be surprised if there were pockets of trouble throughout the night.

Crap result for Andy Robertson but we had a great time all the same...despite the fact the fanzone could have been better organised at night.

Re the locals, think anywhere you go in Europe the locals phukkin hate the English no matter which city they are from. Saw some footage on you tube where Liverpool fans are being attacked by locals after the game. All you see on tv is Liverpool fans with kids saying it’s a disgrace and all that, but hark back to the 80’s and they were involved in some of the worst cases of hooliganism throughout Europe. Reap what you sow.

Don’t know G, if you’ve got a load of people at the turnstiles whose tickets won’t scan because they are forged, and they are refusing to move, and then thousands of fans behind them with valid tickets getting angrier and angrier trying to push forward etc. it doesn’t leave much to imagination as to what the outcome will be. Can’t see the Gendarme being all nicey nicey and asking politely for folk to move on or calm down, history tells them ‘get the batons and pepper spray oot lads the eengleesh are about to kick off’

Certainly don’t believe for one minute Brexit had anything to do with it

Is “forged tickets” being used as an excuse?? Plenty of fans shown on tv saying they were there hours before ko, but turnstiles not open. Andy Robertson saying a friend who he’d given a ticket to, was refused entry, with ticket accused of being a fake!
Think the French have had it in for the Liverpool fans, and let the locals run riot, shocking!

Just saw this on Twitter: St Etienne relegated after a penalty shoot out and the supporters invade the pitch and attack their players with flares.

Reputation will have played a significant part in the French police action, although when you watch the clip from the St Etienne game last night I think it’s fair to understand why they don’t phukk about when football fans are involved.

Even top French journalists are saying the police were bang out of order and are fearful they will not be considered for future events.UEFA and the French will not be able to sweep it under the carpet because even the suited and booted were caught up in the shambles.

Three European finals and trouble and phuck ups at all three. Ticket allocation is a disgrace.
