UEFA allegations - discussion

[StevieG08]

On the point about UEFA officials 'touting' tickets to Liverpool fans i can vouch for this. Witnessed it with my own eyes as 2 lads were passed through the outer perimeter check point by 2 'suits' stating 'be discreet, we're not supposed to sell these tickets'. This was done at the Milan end as well!

UEFA allegations-Where's Rick Parry and LFC

Seriously pissed off at the game UEFA are playing and the allegations thay are making but I am even more pissed off with the total silence from the club on this matter. This is a public relations disaster for the club , the city and it's fans . In a 24 hour news environment you have to react quickly to what are slanderous allegations. These are going round the world as a glance at News Now will show.So where the immediate rebuttal and defence from the club? Answer-nowhere!! We need to look to the club as a first line of defence and they have seriously let us down on this. You can do something however by going on the official site, pressing the contact button and send an E mail to the public relations department. Let them know how you feel at their complete failure to react to UEFA

glad that someone picked up on that. fella on city last week was talkin about it and rightly so.

[tomasjj]

scum, scum, scum, scum, dirty manc scum

Doesn't matter who's fans it is, such vermin are scumbags of the highest order.

Anyone willing to take the bet that Parry's in the Caribbean?

The club really needs to take a close look at this report before releasing a definitive statement, but at least the club should be saying something in the interrim defending the fans. A lot of us have been slandered because of the mindless acts of a desperate minority, but they were pushed into a corner by extremely poor organisation by UEFA and the Greek authorities.

Parry is on holiday. Obv.

[Flagpole Corner]

exactly. that's why i added manc in once and scum a few times.

listen lad i'm getting pissed off with logging on and seeing you getting your digs in.

Every set of fans has there ****s in em, and possible we have more than most. However, I WAS IN ATHENS and I saw the crushing etc. outside the ground FIRST HAND.
It wasn't Liverpool fans that funnelled thousands of people into a tiny gap and it wasn't Liverpool fans that battered and gassed innocent women like the one i sat with outside the stadium during the 2nd half.

I think by now we all know your opinion, and your both entitled to it and welcome to it.

However, if you're happy that we are now being told that we behave worse than any other set of fans in Europe then fine. If not, try being a bit more constructive in your criticism

And did i not ****ing say that?
READ my comments again, carefully. Thanks.

Maybe it's best to play the waiting game.

Couple of days and all the UEFA hoo ha will have died down.

Then the club can retort with a comprehensive account of all of the issues and it'll make a valid point.

Why they lined up the perimeter of the stadium with empty buses just leaving a small gap for thousands of fans to go through is completely beyond me. May be it had something to do with the fact that there were no turnstiles and just gaping holes in the stadium and this was a way of regulating the number of people they allowed in? I dont know, but it was completely inane, made little or no sense, especially as it was a few minutes before kick off and we were all desperate to get in. It could have been a recipe for disaster.

While I do think it was stupid of some of our fans to charge into the stadium and cause potential danger to fellow fans, especially given our history, what would any other fans have done in that situation? You go all that way, at that expense, then you're denied entry, I can completely understand why they did it, even though it was pretty dangerous thing to do. Surely it is a far more pertinent issue to analyse why there were so many fans there with tickets who got locked out? UEFA must look at their ticketing policies and their procedures for choosing venues because if it continues like this a disaster is just round the corner, heaven forbid.

Yeah, I am not sure we can win this one in the media.

Maybe best to work through the official channels and them get a verdict, then we can air the result if it is favourable to us.

Yep.
Spot on, mate.

I read your comments again. Still no evidence of any constructive criticism.

My point to you is that most of your posts are about the misbehaviour of liverpool fans, and whilst i agree that some did misbehave, there is another side of the chaos which UEFA are deliberately trying to cover up.

I REALLY don't want to get into an arguement here but...that is absolute bull****.

just about spot on mate. Apart from the fact that it could have been a recipe for disaster - it WAS one [pedant alert]
