News that Liverpool supporters had been cleared of all blame in connection with the multiple issues around last season’s Champions League Final in Paris was welcomed by almost all fans. Almost but not all.
UEFA’s showpiece event had been switched from St Petersburg to Paris due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine with around 80,000 Liverpool fans making the trip to the French capital.
The French police seem to have been very poorly prepared, when some locals caused bother their reaction was to reach for tear-gas, blame Liverpool fans and lock the gates on fans with tickets.
Hero mate…cannot believe some of the stories I’m hearing, unacceptable on so many levels

Fortunately there were no fatalities but some horrific scenes were recorded by traditional media and mobile phones to bring the near tragedy to the fore.
The treatment of fans at the Europa League final between Rangers and Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville was disgusting as well. Why is fuck all being made about that? Water taken off fans going into the stadium, no water available for fans in the stadium. Fans treated like criminals

One group of fans, that rejoice in singing ‘No one likes us we don’t care’ tried to piggy-back onto the Paris scenes because some elderly, disable bears couldn’t buy water at a match in Spain.
Strangely there is no video footage of the harrowing scenes which came to light the day after Aaron Ramsey missed a penalty against the 10th best team in Germany.
A retrospective campaign was launched on social media to highlight the horrors that fans suffered in Seville.
With a UEFA report produced on a match that took place more than a week later it seems that No One Likes Them and No One Cares outside of Scotland.
Some eye witness accounts claimed that the stewards inside the stadium in Seville insisted on speaking Spanish.
Disgrace eufa aren’t investigating the issues the Rangers fans had in Seville-obviously I’m happy about investigating and the outcome from Paris but shocking they’re only interested in what they call a superpower.. Joke honestly

Interesting that similar scenes at the @EuropaLeague final in Seville have had no investigation by @UEFA Fans of @RangersFC and @eintracht_eng treated as second class citizens #RangersFC #Rangers #Eintracht #UEFA https://t.co/bdy1SMpXQI

I think the Larkhall Lavvy Lickers should get someone to write a strongly worded letter for them, to the Kafflicks at UEFA who no doubt orchestrated the whole thing.
The unseen hand of the Vatican.
Can just imagine the cardinals talking about “Kettling” the sevco fans and have Spanish speaking Spaniards serve kiosks at a Spanish football stadium.
What can you say, The Lavygarglers got nothing from the match or their plight other than their new name. THE LAVYGARGLERS
The sevco fans are still taking the pics, months after actually drinking it!!
