Uefa report slams Reds fans
Sunday, 03 Jun 2007 11:26

A report produced by Uefa has condemned Liverpool's fans as the worst in Europe and president Michel Platini plans to present the dossier to sports minister Richard Caborn.

The report claims that Liverpool fans have been involved in 25 incidents across Europe in the last four years that are a worry to the authorities.

The most recent incident occurred at the Champions League final where fans clashed with police outside the game.

People with counterfeit tickets managed to get into the ground while some Liverpool fans with genuine tickets were forced to miss the match.

But Uefa claim that this is not an isolated incident and can point to other trouble involving Reds fans at away games in Europe.

Uefa spokesman William Gaillard told the News of the World: "We have an independent police report mentioning 25 incidents since 2003 caused by Liverpool fans away from home.

"That's the most of any team in Europe. We should all be very pleased that no one was hurt."

Speaking about the scenes at the Champions League final Gaillard was surprised to see fans climb a security fence to claim one of the many flags at pitch-side.

Gaillard said: "We had 102 flags in the stadium, but by the time the game began there were only two left. People climbed up amid incredible danger in order to steal them, and we know a majority were Liverpool fans."

Liverpool plan to defend themselves fiercely and will point to concerns they raised about security before the final and a report they handed to Uefa themselves about such incidents.

Well, it's only logical considering the unemployment rate and general economical state of Liverpool...

Platini admits stadium security at fault

Uefa will review the guidelines for stadiums bidding to host the Champions League final following the crowd chaos that marred this year's match in Athens between Liverpool and AC Milan.

Having condemned ticketless Liverpool supporters for causing the mayhem, Uefa yesterday backed down over the row following a meeting between president Michel Platini and sports minister Richard Caborn in Brussels.

After an hour of talks, Platini agreed to establish a working party to look into ways of tightening security and crowd control ahead of next year's final.

About 5,000 Liverpool supporters without tickets or with forgeries were able to get into the Olympic Stadium at the expense of fans with genuine tickets and Uefa admitted the ground's lack of turnstiles had caused a problem for security officials.

advertisementAn independent report detailing evidence from police forces across Europe about the poor behaviour of Liverpool supporters since 2003 was given to Caborn by Platini. But Uefa also conceded the club's fans were not solely responsible for the trouble in Athens.

Uefa's new guidelines are likely to focus on grounds with capacities of 80,000 and over. A critical point is likely to be the need for stadiums to have turnstiles that can read barcoded tickets.

That could open the way for Wembley to bid for next year's Champions League final as Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium, the scheduled host for the 2008 event, does not yet have this technology.

Uefa's shift in position came after Liverpool's co-owner Tom Hicks added his voice to the outrage over the governing body's attack on the club's supporters.

Hicks said yesterday: "Uefa did not handle this right at all. To give 17,000 tickets to the two teams, particularly knowing Liverpool are going to bring 40,000 fans, is insane. It's a classic case of a bureaucrat trying to take the pressure off himself.

"They didn't have proper ticketing procedures and unfortunately there were counterfeit tickets. There were fans who paid their hard-earned money to get their tickets and they get to the stadium and are told there is no more room. Are they [the fans] mad? Sure they're mad."

Hicks's comments followed similar remarks from the Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard and chief executive Rick Parry.

But yesterday's talks between Caborn and Platini appeared to take much of the heat out of the row, with both sides now focused on finding solutions to the problems experienced by English fans in Europe this season.

Caborn said: "I suggested they set up a working party, which was well-received by Mr Platini, and I have offered the expertise of the Football Licensing Authority, who are respected on a worldwide basis.

"They will be looking at major European finals and I hope they can start setting some standards for clubs entering the competitions that they have to meet certain criteria."

You gotta feel for 'em. The amount Liverpool fans spend huge amounts on season tickets, FA Cup games League Cup games and all the travel and tickets to Champions League games. Then when it comes to the Final, the rich people buy up all the tickets, it's wrong really.

Don't those with membership or so fourth have priority on purchasing finals tickets or at least a ticket for themselves?

Just that massive white flag with the milan emblem in the middle.

Prob get it trimmed down and just put it on my wall.

Didn't really note down the dimensions whens I bought it though.

Bloody thing is stained abit though since it wasn't wrapped in plastic. :S

Whered you order your shirt from kurt.. milanstore as well..

I have mine!

Ordered it direct from the club along with some other stuff (got a free bracelet!). The package arrived in 4 days.

Lolzzzz...bigmac if you read a little further, you'd know why it's been requested for deletion...

Well yeah...that's quite a pleasurable experience as well. But thing is I don't bear Liverpool any ill will anymore.

We got our revenge...slate's clean, let's start afresh...or in the immortal words of my namesake....'Bring on that horizon!!!'

oooh..we got somebody who likes Charlie's Angels...

Well that's too bad...we didn't blame it on them when we lost Istanbul, it was nothing personal that night coz it was the Scousers. They had something which belonged to us and we took it back...it wouldn't make a difference if it had been Liverpool or Barca or whoever. Maybe Inter or Juve yes, it would have been personal.

The Scousers have things that belong to everyone.

ya bellamy owes me a new golf club and he should return the McCann family their child back... sumone got a lil too carried away in portugal

I got the extra large t-shirt on purpose - to use as pajamas - and it's..well...extra large. Sizes run about the same they seem to for jerseys.

i ordered CL away jersey that used with the final which includes the the CL logo incrested in gold with the date of the final and of course with the no.9 in the back! and got a few others for my fellow milanisti!

I don't know if it's been mentioned before but Paolo received the Cup from the hands of UEFA President Michel Platini, a man he had faced as an opponent when the latter was still an active footballer! That has, of course, never happened before!!!

I'm telling you, he IS God...

where from?

Thanks. That's not official, is it?

Aside from bringing home the nice trophy, Milan did all right financially by winning the Champions League.

According to the official UEFA report, Milan earned 39.5 million euros for winning the competiton.

And we'll spend about 1% of it on transfers.

It's been a year. Happy Anniversary for our 7th CL win!

Also, happy birthday to former Milan great Daniele Massaro Also on this date, Milan won its 16th scudetto in 1999 and its 4th CL in 1990.
