How about this for a novel view:
Some Liverpool fans may have fake tickets and some may have climbed fences to get in. At the same time, some French police may have over reacted with pepper spray. Neither side is totally blameless for the issues.

At the end of the day there are all the reports from the media and multiple reports from journalists- the media are pretty much United in what happened and have provided the proof - none of this “may” business

And then you have “rival” fans with their theories and providing videos which are then being given context after

It will be up to people what they want to believe but I would hope for most that they would try and look past tribalism or trolling to see that many innocents fans got exposed to grave danger last night because of the poor organisation of UEFA and the way the police reacted - of that there is no doubt.

The way this thread has been all season... No chance. I've said it for years, football rivalry brings out the worst in people.
 
Another one.....

I'm not bothered who wins, but the decision making from the Ref and VAR is nothing short of atrocious.

Thought it wasn’t so clear for the first pen shout but the second one looked clear ?‍♂️

If anything... At least that's consistent. If I were a Huddersfield fan I'd be raging.
 
But, to be fair, the Prem was almost expected, but to fail in the ECL must be a huge disappointment.
I think City achieved the absolute minimum and no more.
As a City fan Ave never expected anything. I spent 20 years being goaded by Utd fans asking me how many we are gonna get beat by. It was a humble trait I have learned that I don’t expect owt. To follow a Rammel team for 30 odd years to now be competing for trophies. Al take that.
Finally welcome To the premier league Forest.

Seen lots of reports & videos of Liverpool fans doing themselves no favours tbh Phil,they’re far from innocent imo.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it - league champions above all else is what I want. I'm only bothered about us failing in the CL as Pep wants to win it...
 
it brings out the worst in some for sure, but not fair to judge everyone by the idiotic minority surely?

I completely agree with you...and that's entirely the point, the disparaging comments aimed at entire clubs supporters for the actions of a few is relentless. I stopped reading the thread for quite some time because it's like reading playground arguments.
 
Good to have some local rivals back in the Premier League, but how the second Huddersfield penalty shout wasn’t given by VAR I don’t know and to be honest I think that the first one should have been at least a review by the ref as he was clipped and then booked.

Trying to choose my words very very carefully. Some of the things posted by some folk online have not done Liverpool any favours. But 99.9% of fans that went and followed Liverpool yesterday did not deserve that *** that went off yesterday. The FA in this country and UEFA who I do not trust one bit need to ensure that what went off yesterday never happens again.
