Uefa final from a true blue
Hi guys
I was a little apprihensive about posting on here as i dont want to be tarred with the same brush as other hooligans but salford red said i should and it would be okay so thanks
First things first - can i first, say how sorry i am to all mancunians on here, for waht some so called bluenoses done to your city. I was shocked at some of the scenes i seen on the TV, aswell as the footage from CCTV and police helicopter.
But the second thing i will add in - was the police. Went far too OTT. Reports that there were about 200,000 people who were in manchester for the footie last night, and out of those, police said about 200 fans rioted in the tv fanzone with 42 arrests. Can i say, they aint fans of our club. If they were, they would treat each city with respect like 99% of the other teddy bears did.
42 people arrested out of 200,000 fans (11 charged)? Look at the Bradford riots, how many people took place and how many arrests there were.
but also, the whole of the riot police was a joke. As you know, us Scots, are always happy when it comes to football, win lose or draw, we are so obtimistic, we look ahead and not behind. And coming out of the stadium, all i heard was "oh well, treble it is" and looking ahead to the motherwell game on saturday.
I seen a few drunks, but happy drunks, singing and dancing, causing NOBODY any harm what so ever - and then all of a sudden, riot police came barging through the crouds and knocking peopole over, and THIS is what caused the main riot in the city (notice how the media leave that part out?)
I have to ask - over the past couple of years, why, when there is an old firm game be it at Ibrox or park head, why is there never any riots? I suspect it is due to the policing style.
Police (non riot) done a brilliant job, but the riot police stirred things up wading in with their size 10's thinking they are god
Anyway - i might be a true blue, loved my time in Manchester and was welcomed by the Mancunians when i was down there, and i felt good. We lost, but i dont care - not many times can i ever go to a major Euroupeian final with Rangers so it made my year i'd say.
Sorry once again to the mancs who were involved in the fighting - but this is not something we allow or tollorate at the club
Please dont brand or tar me with the same brush though as others, im not like those hooligans, im just a normal fan, who supports the team.
Now - lets go forward to next Wednesday when Utd face chelski - My prediction is tight game but 2 - 1 Tevez and Ronaldo - drogba for them.
Also, sorry for my spelling or puntuation, im dyslexic
