I wasn't there but I did encounter Italian football fans whilst on holiday, on numerous occasions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you expecting them to fight back and throw rocks , being pedantic really why don’t you just admit that hundreds of articles must all be right including eyewitness statements ?

TheGuv Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 When players try and steal half an inch by not putting the ball from a corner kick correctly in the quadrant. Referees/linesmen rightfully then make sure the ball is inside, as you know it’s in the laws of the game. But no doubt a few minutes later a player will either take a throw in 10 yards further forward than it was or take a free kick 5 yards further forward. Referee all of it or don’t fucking bother Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Doesn't it just have to be over the marking in the same way all of the ball needs to be over the of the line for a goal to stand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 What's odd about it? It takes two to tango and a lot of Juve fans came to dance. The tragedy occurred because the stadium collapsed. But both sets of fans were equally culpable. I've no desire to stick up for the Liverpool fans that destroyed the culture of Europe over the course of a decade, but Heysel was another example of failure by footballing authorities.

I've no desire to stick up for the Liverpool fans that destroyed the culture of Europe over the course of a decade, but Heysel was another example of failure by footballing authorities. I have to agree with this myself, the whole culture of hooligans and poor not fit for purpose stadiums were the cause of deaths, and of course police brutality and turning the blind eye or escalating things via poor policing. Hillsborough, however, was caused by overcrowding, lack of proper planning, unorganised policing, stewarding and ultimately criminal negligence by the police. I wouldn’t exactly blame LFC fans solely for Heysel, they played the biggest part of course, but many many factors come into play and although they do deserve their share of the blame and most of it, really, it was always going to happen and could have happened to themselves or any other fans that night or other nights and games, we had our own near Hillsborough moment a few times I believe.

I saw some bloke on the Youtube today, going through a list of players who's contract are up soon. This local lad can barely string a sentence together in English. "Meelan". Then there is the Tripper talk. "Atletico", or even worse, "Atleti". Do we believe the fans in those places say "Newcassel" or "Sunlun"? Mind you with the latter, you might be met with a shrug. They’re called Atletico. Anyone saying Athletico is wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 The amount of times players get an opening about 20 yards away and just blast it as hard as they can. No thought as to getting it on target they just leather it and hope it's actually on target. 95% of these shots fly high, wide or both and the opportunity goes instantly. Absolutely infuriating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
