In those circumstances
neither Manchester United, nor AS Roma, is able to call the police
to account. As a result the club warmly welcomes the government
examination of the incidents and will collect witness statements
from fans to submit to the Home Office.
The Home Office have confirmed they will gather information from
all relevant sources before deciding whether to approach UEFA about
their concerns. A UEFA statement read: UEFA have opened an
investigation into the incidents that occurred at the
match.
This case is still under investigation, so don't make any wild
accusations.
Please go and watch the Tv highlights again and also hear the
comments from people before you make a irresponsible statement like
that. It was the Police who over reacted in this case. No one is
asking them to be saints, but just proper policemen. We can see
baton-wielding police beating prostrate supporters... This is not
right. You beat men in their 50s, 60s while they are on the
ground?
The widespread view emerging from those who were at the game is
that the violence erupted when Roma fans charged towards a screen
dividing the two sets of supporters after Taddei's opening goal
just before half-time. The police did not try to prevent the Roma
fans from provoking the English and that was where things got bad.
Missiles started to fly...
This happen after just two months when a policeman was killed by
Italian fans. This was a further reminder of just how far Italy
lags behind when it comes to safety and security in Football
Stadiums. And It is rather odd that all the policemen were
stationed in the visitors' section only when by right they should
be on both sides as this started because of the "over the top" Roma
fans provoking.
Middlesbrough fans also suffered a similar experiences on their
visit to the Italian capital last season. Anyway, these scene was
beamed live to 26 European countries. Uefa may now have to take
action. And i won't be surprise if Roma have to play their next
home game in an empty stadium.
And please don't just come and say this is only to united, Its
everywhere, every English clubs, even the national team. If you are
not aware, English clubs were banned from participating in European
competition for five years and we have to thank your Liverpool for
that.
Their fans were the ones that was responsible for the Heysel
Stadium disaster. They killed 39 people mostly Italians fans...
(And one wonders why the Italians don't like the English fans)
Liverpool received a ban of ten years but was later reduced to six,
every other English clubs got 5 when they were not even involve
with it. And if this was not enough, there is still the
Hillsborough disaster...
So you see, 2 of the most famous stadium disasters actually
involved Pool fans.
