    Wembley...behind closed doors.

    How sad and shameful that this is what we’ve come to.
    The scenes and experiences of last summer against Italy ruined what should have been the greatest national football occasion since 1966.
    It would be nice to think that those responsible could be punished accordingly, but, as ever, they won’t be.
    Who though is to blame? Well, the thugs and bullies who pushed their way through disabled entrances and then occupied seats refusing to move when the actual ticket holder arrived for one, but also a system which allowed genuine fans access to tickets for the relatively minor matches and then put tickets for the semi and the final out of the financial reach of ordinary fans. In addition the powers that be who failed to organise proper policing of the event (I don’t blame stewards paid a pittance for failing to stand up to hard core thugs) and then there is the mentality we saw from some commentator/official(?) or other yesterday who justified the booing of rival anthems as just ‘a bit of pantomime’. No it isn’t...it’s a national embarrassment to most of us.
    Things really have to change. Thoughts?
