Other games (2022/23)

You can’t be blaming fake tickets ffs, they should have planned for that type of problem.

 

The pictures and reports I’ve seen show an incredibly narrow approach to the first check point where inadequate officials were in place and then there were only 2 (really?) turnstiles to use.

 

The police and UEFA need taken to task here, it could have been much much worse. You can’t blame fans for foreseeable and indeed inevitable ticketing problems.

Any Madrid fans get tear-gassed?

[Nucasol]

Andy Robertson on the BBC claiming the stewards were saying one of the tickets he gave his mates was “fake”. Something dodgy going on - gate staff looking for backhanders?

Totally agree, this was a mixture from both sides, too many cunty Liverpool fans without tickets trying to get in and over zealous French police reacting to it , not denying all clubs in Europe have hooligan problems but only the English seem intent on travelling in huge numbers , getting pissed , trying to get in for nowt or buying fake tickets leaving genuine fans having to put up with these problems. 
No problems for Real fans getting in ….there lies the evidence.

Thats not entirely true, Henry Winter saying the approach and logistics for Real fans getting into the stadium on their side was far easier. Cleverly there were some Liverpool fans who took the piss and contributed to this. Loads of locals also trying to get in and storm gates also a factor. But horrific management from UEFA and police.

Clearly a total and utter shambles 

[NEEJ]

Not related to the entry fiasco, but equally as disgraceful - when did they start with the Superbowl-lite nonsense before the game? Who the fuck is going to that match  happy that they have to sit through 4 Camila Cabello songs while a load of dancers spell out one word messages on the pitch? It seemed like they put more effort into planning the pre-match show than they did perimeter security.

As always it’s likely there will be two sides to the story and the truth with be somewhere in the middle.

 

It does seem a huge coincidence that Liverpool fans are always involved. I can imagine the police were put in a difficult situation but their reaction was probably well over the top too.

A rare shot of Richarlison not feigning injury.  Must be a photoshop.

This is the right kind of cunt behaviour.

[RodneyCisse]

It’s odd that all Madrids fans were in happily waiting for the game to start.

 

Somethings gone wrong on the ticketing front or with the staffing.

[black_n_white]

It’s all fine, according to Klopp they are going to the final next year anyways!

[Sima]

Klopp unsurprisingly behaving like a cunt in his press conference.

[Neil]

Whining again that the opposition made it hard. So unfair.

Saw a journo's tweet suggesting the access route for Madrid fans was far easier. 

Maybees the Liverpool fans had to go around the ground via some allotments and a back lane like Vicarage Rd ?? (*) 

 

 

 

 

* plus there was way more scousers and they seemed to get corralled into a funnel leading to "just two" turnstiles.......apparently

Set himself up beautifully there, saying they should book the hotel for the final now.

 

Probably will get there, like

[madras]

The first call on 6-0-6 was from someone there, Liverpool fan, said it was disgraceful, Liverpool fans, UEFA, French authorities all to blame.

[Ronson333]

Why did so many Liverpool fans queue up without tickets? That’s the main issue here which led onto everything else. Klopp telling them to come to Paris didn’t help 

[Dokko]

I've not kept up with this, so asking a genuine question: Was it poor organisation or Liverpool fans blaming anyone but themselves?

There is a lot of evidence to say poor organisation. 

 

But then there were these images from last night that suggest Liverpool fans who shouldn't have been in the stadium got in.

 

 

[STM]

There can't have been THAT many Liverpool fans who turned up without tickets or knowingly had fake tickets for it to have caused such a logistical issue.

 

There's clear images of turnstiles being closed, fans being hemmed in, tear gas being used, which can only point to a conclusion that authorities are responsible.

 

Its also their responsibility to plan for every contingency, which they clearly didn't.

Always seems to happen with Liverpool fans, doesn't it? Totally oblivious to their own history.

Every single club near enough has trouble when they go abroad. Roma are terrible for it. 

I've never seen other European club fans take over a city en masse though. Yes you will always get the odd nutter who might stab someone, but it's the group threat which some English clubs carry with them that causes problems.
