There is only one way to deal with them. Good to know there are outstanding police in this world protecting civilized human beings. English fans are violent, drunken, ignorant trouble makers.

This is not new, it's almost inevitable. I'm interested to see what happens in O.T. next week. Besides the violence, which was expected, the match itself was very good.

Apparently after the first Roma goal the Roma fans pushed against the glass divider and and started taunting the fans. United fans (idiots) started throwing things over the dividers. The riot police (which was only stationed at the United side) clashed with the United fans, leading to the beat down. Being a United fan it's hard to admit that our fans were stupid to react that way, but it's also hard to see police beating up fans when they could have dealt with it in a much better way. Shades of Lille in this, and both clubs will probably get fined and keep blaming each other.

Other reports say that the riot police were ONLY stationed on the ManUtd side of the barrier. It wouldn't be surprising. For years if not decades the ultras have had a some weird power over their clubs. To me what happened today shows that it's time for UEFA to freeze Italian clubs out of Europe until they pull their heads out of their asses. They've done little to actually address the violence. And as for the corruption, the Italian FA wasn't the one wanting to do anything, it was the Italian government that had to step in on that one.

The Roma fans were taunting them and the police rushed the visiting fans only. Both sides were banging on the barrier. They are Man U fans.

Sad thing is, they probably didn't. Fucking cops. The fans have to do something extremely bad to deserve that treatment. Sad thing is, they probably didn’t. Fucking cops.
