[QUOTE="getofmeland, post: 118667"] Not blaming the police it was the Stadium Authorities and UEFA, People travel because they knew there would be tickets available on the black market, and basically that is because of the number of tickets to the UEFA 'FAMILY' and the 9000 Ballot tickets, however there was a large number of fakes about, and the Stadium Officials were purely letting anyone and everyone in, without even checking tickets... There is nothing wrong with Fans doing that, as Uefa have basically encouraged it to happen due to the small allocations for either set of fans... There is no excuse if there was violence for the police to step in however when they turn around and say in the press that they will use paintballs and not tear gas questions have to be asked about their actual motives, I personally think the clashes have been blown out of proportion by the news, as I haven't seen pictures of it. The Thing is the ticketing procedure for the Champions League is a Joke...
