Not liking the reports coming out from Athens

[The incredible igor]

Hmm, I'm very uncomfortable with that attitude.

Without pointing out the obvious, once they decided the stadium was full they stopped fans with genuine tickets from getting in. How is that any different from stealing the ****ing ticket?!

If I had gotten in with a known forgery or with any ticket at all I'd be feeling very guilty this morning

[alunevans]

So thinking about fan safety, and thinking it's wrong to prevent other fans watching the game is 'righteous'?!

Ok.

**** that lad.

how can a few lads bunking in as a threat to fans safety be compared to the way uefa have organised this. THEY are the threat to fans safety. THEY are the scum.

a few lads bunking in are just a few lads desperate to see their team because the only way they can get in is to pay a grand to the tout that ****ing UEFA have given a ticket to in the first place.

if you give a **** about fans safety look far higher up the food chain.

seats or no ****ing seats, i guarantee you another hillsborough WILL happen sooner or later if this is how it carries on.

and it'll be a well supported club who it will happen to again.

i'm well pissed off with this.

Also, how about creating fan villages with entertainment etc. Much like a airport lounge?

It would require two checks then with some fairly sturdy and manageable security available.

i had a ticket of course

Well the solution is simple. Pin an RFID chip to each ticket and correspond it to your credit card details. Then if the ticket presented doesn't match up or doesn't have one then it gets rejected.

I'm sure they could also scan a picture of your mug on there too. It would stop touts and fakers.

*An RFID is one of those tiny chips that cost about $0.00001 and tell Marks & Spencer that you've nicked their stuff without paying *

WRONG, ITS VERY SIMPLE, ANYONE THATS BUYS A TOUTED TICKET SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPORT THAT SERIAL NUMBER AND THE CULPRITS BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT WONT WORK COS UEFA ARE THE BIGGEST ****ING TOUTS

There will be repercusions from UEFA.

They will not do anything. If they didnt do anything to Utd in Rome then how can they do anything to us.

Fans with legitimate tickets were not allowed in.....some paying thousands for tickets and plane flights. I would be ****ing livid if that happened to me.

Whos fault is that??? UEFA's!! They ****ed up big time.

well i wouldn't object to that to be honest but i tell you what, it'd lead to an empty stadium because the corporate ******s dont want to go. and they get all the tickets.

maybe thats the first step then. glastonbury have managed it.

maybe we need an empty stadium for them to get this mess sorted out, instead of feeding the black market, waiting for fans to kick off and then piously pointing the finger.

Same goes for mugging, rape, murder and lots of stuff.

Doesnt make it fecking right though, does it?

I couldnt give a sh*t about UEFA losing out on ticket money, but anyone who does bunk in and puts others at risk is a c*nt IMO.

Exactly lad. Who else can say they wouldn't have tried to force their way past a copper in those circumstances. I know I would. I'd have gone ****ing nuts!

you know what fredo if you actually ever got off your arse and went to a game you might just and i mean just figure out what its all about mate

[badpiggy]

snatching tickets from fellow fans is ****in bull****, but anything else? in is ****in in

too right - football matches should be the sole preserve of ticketless 16-30 year old men with a ****-you attitude and the fists/feet to go with it...

I havent read all the posts on this but to say uefa are to blame for ticket allocation has a point.

however we all knew how many tickkets there would be. If you couldnt get a ticket then it is unfortunate but what you as an individual choose to do after that is your own responsibilty not Uefas. So yes there should be more tickets but also adults should be held responsible for there actions and we cant just say well they should have given us more tickets its there fault.

more people travelled without a ticket than with. will you admonish them when they return home for risking buying what may have unwittingly turned out to be a forgery that locked out a ticketholder.

cos i won't.

its UEFA who i'll target.
