However these morons are not football fans, for me, and have ruined the club's reputation in Europe. From what I gather, I don't believe the police were heavy-handed in any way and I think, judging by what I've read and seen, they reacted in the only way possible.
They were. Look at the photos to see folk in defensive positions and the dogs set on them.
They were twatting innocent folk with shields and batons, but ran like the clappers from the actual rioters. They ran by us like Olympic sprinters smashing into folk with the shields.
We met an ex-Rangers players nephew in the station that had his elbows bruised and mangled with a riot shield. Piccadilly station was a nightmare though, swimming in piss and vomit as the toilets broke and the trains were all cancelled or running straight through.
