Sick of hearing about Liverpool

Did Liverpool fans try to get in with forged tickets? Yes
Did locals try to climb the gates to get in? Yes
Did the organisers fail miserably to organise inspection of tickets outside the stadium and set up pre-match queuing? Yes
Did the police massively over-react against law-abiding fans? Yes
Should there be a post-event investigation to avoid what could have been fatal consequences in the future? Yes
Should high profile sporting events be taken away from Paris until they demonstrate an ability to host them safely and competently? Yes

Now then, let's get back to proper news like parties in government buildings.

There are only two clubs in England that matter in the national consciousness: Liverpool and Utd.

I lived down south for 50 years and I knew a lot of guys who supported both clubs. When I asked why, I got ridiculous replies, “I’ve always supported them” “why, do you come from there?” “No, I’ve never been to Manchester“
“I used to support Man Utd when they were good, but now I support Liverpool“ “ ever been there.” “No”

Never any trouble at the Six Nations TTJ and by your logic should the authorities do the same with Wembley?

I don't know EO. Did our police tear gas fans at Wembley?

I agree with most of what you’ve written, but Paris has hosted many top events without any problems.

That sort are all over the place.
I knew one bloke, Surrey born & bred but living up here for many years.
I asked him once how he came to be a Utd fan.
"Cos they're the best team" he smugly replied.
"In that case" I said, "I think I'll start supporting the Australian cricket team"
That shut him up.
 
I seem to remember for certain finals, fans being advised do NOT travel if you haven't got a valid ticket bought from the club. It appears Real Madrid fans followed this sensible suggestion and everythinj ran smoothly at their end of the stadium, did nobody at Anfield realise that encouraging fans to go without having tickets brought from the club was a recipe for disaster which is what happened.

Blame a certain Mister Klopp for that, he was in TV encouraging Liverpool fans to travel to Paris with or without tickets
