To be fair it sounds like most of the people who got turned away were fans with the real tickets as fans with fake tickets had got there first and not been picked up. I can see why you'd be upset if you weren't allowed in after paying 2000 euros for a ticket and then got pepper-sprayed to boot!

It's good to see Union of European 'it's not about the' Football Associations blaming Liverpool fans for the chaos outside the stadium. Obviously, letting fans in who had fake, or no tickets had nothing to do with it. And of course, giving Liverpool and AC Milan around 17,000 seats each, in a stadium of 72,000 played no part either. Still, amd sure the 38,000 corporate sponsor really enjoyed watching a game between two teams they support week in week out. Sorry, may be hangover, but UEFA = W******

You pay for tix on the black market, then what do you expect ?


Its not legal to sue tix that have not been sold to you for games like this.


the rushing of the gates is apalling, whatever the alleged circumstances that may/may not provoked it. And uas much As I hate bring this up again, Liverpool are not exactly squeaky clean with regard to rushing the gates at matches/ forged tickets/ leaping the turnstiles.


they never learn.ever.

Many commiserations to the Liverpool fans on this thread. If it's any consolation I thought you played better than 2005. Still, sometimes that's the way the cookie crumbles. Also, if I'd paid good money for tickets for the game, flights and accommodation etc, etc I be absolutely furious if I couldn't get into the ground to see the match. Anyway, do what I do when the Spurs lose, delete it from the memory banks. Better luck next time.

I agree with Jah Lush and I know that I am biased, but imagine paying potentially thousands to travel to Athens to watch your team play in the biggest game of the season. You've got a ticket and as far as you are aware it's genuine and there is no reason in the world why you shouldn't get in to that stadium. You get there and then you're turned away. Can you imagine how that would make you feel?


I also agree that there is a small contingent of fans that do let the side down, however every club has this problem. Because Liverpool have been successful and have played massively publicised games, our fans are highlighted as troublemakers.


How did fans without tickets get in to the stadium? Security should not have allowed it and as for people getting in with fake tickets, you can't blame the fans for that. It should be blamed on the greedy touts and the fact that tickets will always be available from unreliable sources.

so the liverpool fans are innocent and its all the fault of the authorities. unfortunately that wont wash,espicially with the previous that liverpool fans have. its a distinct possibility that the action taken by the authorites prevented a repeat of heysel/hillsborough.

      Flu and Covid jabs locally

      By beansprout · Posted

      Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.

      Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..

      @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
