Its all kicking off :shock:

Italians eh

whats happening?

On the radio it said Roma sored their fans ran towards Man u's the Police ran down knocking over Man U fans on their way to the partition.Utds fans charged the police a couple of times ,chucking stuff and police responded with  baton charges.The Italian police dont fuck about do they :mrgreen:

Also United are getting beat 1-0 and Scholes got sent off.

Yes but who care about that 8)

It'll all happen tonight in Rome now that United have got the away goal. I'd not be feeling very safe if I was an Englishman in Rome tonight. :(

Yes the ultras will be out on their mopeds tonight stabbing Man united fans in the buttocks,as per usual when any English clubs come to town :-))(

i know someone out there but his phones fooked  :|

Damn those bum stabbing ultras

He could be having his bum stabbed as I type! cripes!! :shock:

But they do do that,i'm not making it up,come on everyone knows Italians are a bit fruity :wink:

Could get nasty out there though,hope no one gets hurt!

Edit,looks like they already have :(

thats twice for united away this season.

and am i right in thinking it was roma against boro last year?

those italian coppers are fucking nuts  :D  blokes are led in the foetal position screaming and they just keep battering away.

need man u to turn this around though as i've got a fiver on a united-liverpool final but apparently man united have never gone through in the champions league knockouts after losing the first leg.

Yeah it was Roma V Middlesbough last year,think about three Boro fans got stabbed :(

Course you'd probably enjoy that Strooood,i saw you in the CGH doorway Saturday :wink:

Most Man U fans enjoy a good butt-stabbing.

Not forgetting the Palermo fans who attacked West Ham fans, even family's with their kids.  :wanker:

I hope the guilty are punished accordingly

Man United and Roma should have to play their next 2 games behind closed doors .... but of course are they are both big clubs .. that will never happen! Just the likes of small Dutch and Greek clubs get that kind of punishment

You really are a fucking prick.  Did you even see what happened?  The Roma and Utd fans barely did anything to prompt a reaction from the police like that.

Have you seen the film from SkySportNews where the italian policeman is going crazy...  ...at the Italian police telling them to stop and putting down his baton and talking to the utd fans apologetically.  That for me says it all really.

Neither Roma or Manchester United should be fined, banned or even chastised (sp) it should be the Italian police who have to foot the bill for their extreme over reaction.  I hope on eof the Utd fans has the guts and the money to sue the police.

Do us all a favour fatbury and fuck off!!  You constant drivel is boring beyond belief.

:nod:  :goodpost:

Spot on Janaage. 100% correct.  :thumbs:

I'm going next week to the second leg, gonna pack a snooker ball in my footie sock just in case.

good call Jan... too many fans will say, 'oh, the united fans have been at it again." Fock that. Last night reports of being attacked before the game are widespread, by people who aren't what you'd call trouble makers, while inside the ground the police reacted disgracefully. Granted, United fans should npt have reacted to Roma's when they scored, but the reaction by the police, many hitting fans not even involved, was nothing short of scandalous. Even some of the senior officersa were trying to hold back their own.

Fucking scandal.

Every time a big came is played at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the police always overreact.

Remember when England did the Italian Job there, to qualify for France '98, the England fans here pelted by missiles, then towards the end of the game, the Italian police just attacked England fans for being there.

What did UEFA/FIFA do?  Absolutely nothing !!!

Italian clubs cause more trouble than anybody else, but they don't get anything done to them ,as there is a big Italian representation in UEFA, and their clubs get a smack on the wrist. Remember a few years ago, when there was trouble in the Champions League tie between the Milan clubs, where Inter were the 'home' side. Due to the fact they conceded 2 quick goals, flares were thrown onto the pitch, with the referee abandoning the game. The penalty was not being banned from European football for a couple of years but they had to play three matches behind closed doors.

Got to say the police and the Bari ultras were fantastic last week :beers:

I've seen worse provocation at Swindon v Bristol Rovers (2-2) in 1993 than I did last night.  People climbing the fence between the Shrivvie Road and the wedge, it was great.

Not one bit of fighting inside the ground, just people letting their emotions run riot (so to speak) after their team had just scored.

The art of celebration is dying.  Soon we'll all be sat there clapping goals being scored because to stand and cheer would be incitement.

Football is in danger of losing it's appeal if we let the authorities clamp down on this kinda thing.

Spot on.
Seemed the Italian police were well up for it and showed no mercy.

We all know Roma's fascist bunch of wankers are always looking for trouble and yet again the Italian Police bottle flying into them instead it's the English fans that get the heavy handed arm of the law.

Oh and fatbury, do us all a favour and STFU!

I hold no opinion.

I rule.

you may well be right but then again they are man united fans so who gives a fuck

I hope someone hits you with a baton sometime soon  :x

because i was being deadly serious of course

Reminded me of Mansfield back in the 80's when STFC fans were batoned by Notts Constabulary who'd got plenty of practice during the miner's strike.  Only difference the STFC fans had offered no provocation other than standing behind the goal.

SCABS!!

Because they are English, it was the same in Barcelona last week after the game,  in the metro station. Only one pay counter open so a lot of english we just going through without paying, as we were going down the stairs to the train the old bill came wading in all baton happy. They only stopped after they realised they were surrounded by some of the English getting back off the trains to have a go at them.One lady took a picture on her phone of the events and then took a baton to the head and had her phone taken.

In europe if you English your seen as fair game

It's because you were English is it?

Nothing to do with a mob of fans attempting to jump the train?

So if you'd all politely queued up and bought your tickets like you would have at any other time you think the result would have been the same?

I don't know why some lads seem to think laws don't apply to them when they're in a big group of football fans.

You tried to do something you shouldn't have, and the police moved in to stop you. Tough shit.

Incidentally, if, as it seems from your post, you're so bloody enamoured with the idea of being English, could you learn to write in the sodding language!

english football fans abroad are a pack of cunts. and not just in football contexts. a big generalisation i know, a fairly sound one

I was about to point out that if I was jumping barriers to get through without paying, I wouldn't be surprised if the police tried to stop me.

Bit different to what happened last night, the Manure fans' only crime is that they're all from Surrey

I got to salute the Italian police and fans, they did a good job last night.  8)

:roll: Always one

you are a very serious young man r4e

I feel so bad for Man U fans that I think I'm going to start supporting them.

My observations for what they are worth:

1/ Stupidity on behalf of Man U fans to 'charge' at Roma fans when Roma scored. Given the current climate of hooliganism in Italy and the death of a policeman its little suprise the police were 'up for this one'

2/ Away fans always get treated like shit. Even here in Swindon. Its one of the unwritten laws of football and it applies world wide.

3/ Don't be fooled by Sky Sports News reporting. Yes the scenes were appauling but Sky have a large financial stake in MUFC so you don't get the whole story. Like the bit where hundreds of Man U yob's trying to get at the Roma fans. Is it a coincidence that many of the fans sporting injuries look like nethandral man?

4/ I feel genuine sympathy for the real fans who simply stood in the wrong place and were the victims of the police brutality when they were not even involved in the first place.

5/ I'm disgusted that Sky claimed MU fan's stormed at the home fans only because of ' heavy provocation'. Utter bollocks. Its part and parcel of the game to sing and taunt at rival fans when you score.

6/ The real problem lies within the Italian Police. I hope FIFA and the Italian Police launch a inquest into the trouble but we all know that it will be swept under the carpet. Expect both clubs to escape with a small fine. The police will be cleared because they always are.

Fuck it..It happens in 6 months time it will be something else

I thought it was the other way round? Roma fans charged the barrier when they scored the opening goal and then did so again when Scholes got sent off.

you never taunt the Ultras in Italy you will get more than u bargained for.

Is that why you have the word 'Ultra' in your username?  :shock:

I shall never taunt your copy and pasting technique again.

Just remember that none of the Italian teams own the grounds the local councils do. The clubs cannot sort out the police and the security the council do.

Ultras are pussies

thats what i thought as well...the thing is there where no police on Roma's side when they charge so didn't have to worry about being hit but when the english did it the police came straight down and gave them a good hiding...I think if you go abroad to a game like that you've got to expect so degree of trouble whether it be in or out of the stadium

fucking ultras. "oooh lets make a banner. arent we hard" cunts every single one of them.

 :soapy tit wank:

That's because NO police are allowed with the Ultras.

I still remember a few years ago in a Serie A game at the San Siro, Ultra Inter fans threw a motorbike off the top tier,which they 'snuck' in the ground.

Security...what security!!!

Im with macca, anyone who carrys knives during games or in general are cowards, italians wouldnt stand a chance on 20 vs 20 against englands finest.

finest what? poets? or letting agents?

Air Traffic Controllers.

and we're meant to be pleased/proud/care about this?

Yep course we are..we rule

Rule Brittania ,etc,etc ,etc  la la la la la la la   etc ....etc
