Champions League Final

[ramAnag]

Problem is that the Liverpool fans have been tarred with the brush now, "always involved, never our fault" and so they have made themselves easy targets for blame. I don't know anything about the incidents as didn't watch the match or pre/post match coverage, but its easy to see why Liverpool fans get the blame for everything as they are a soft target. Rightly or wrongly, I don't know - but is it just a coincidence that whenever issues like this arise, curiously it is generally at matches involving Liverpool? No smoke without a little fire?

Or...Liverpool have played in more high profile matches than any other English - and probably European - team in recent years which is probably a better reason than your ‘no smoke without fire’ reasoning.

It’s happened twice - ever - and I’m sure some Liverpool fans carry some responsibility for both Heysel and Hillsborough however you’ve heard MA’s account of Heysel and everyone is now aware of what really went on at Leppings Lane which I still find ‘uncomfortable’ each time I go.

Surely if Liverpool fans are so bad things would have kicked off after the semi final with City at Wembley...two teams making virtually the same journey back north and yet...nothing.

Sorry Andy...I wasn’t aware of this nastiness you speak of. There are indeed some nasty people out there as well as many jealous ones.

I do wonder if it is possible that the French would have been happy to see an English team discredited in the same way as, rightly or wrongly, happened after Heysel and with the same consequences. That might be the best way for PSG to actually reach the final. Just sayin’...

P.S. My worst experiences of rival fans? West Ham, Millwall, Chelsea, Rangers, Grimsby and Wrexham...but that really is just personal and probably not at all indicative.
