Ban Italian teams from European competitions until they can control themselves. I'm a little young to remember it but I could have sworn England teams got banned after too many incidents like this one.

Ban them, end of story.

If the British Police did this, there would be an outcry. As with racism or hooligans, it is only the Brits who seem to get the flak, other countries can act how they want

Italy as a whole is a cesspit of football violence.

Teams, supporters & police.

Completely out of order and there can be no excuses what so ever. The Police over reacted and should be prosecuted. Is it no wonder the Italian fans react to the Italian Police in the way they do? And yet again Missilesof larger sorts ( not your coins lighters etc)have been thrown from within Central European Crowds again.

Now I remember us English Fans having many years in the dark and not in European Football because of The way Our so called fans Actions in Europe.

Now I think its time the FA rocked EUFA'S boat a tad..no A Firking lot infact.

Italian fans - utter disgrace. We all know that they are carrying knives and weapons, and we also know that they will use them on English fans. They should be banned from Europe.

Englsh fans - Still charged the fence and got involved. Lets simply not go to Italy and not give their clubs the money or them the satisfaction. It's easy to say don't get involved, but in the middle of mayhem, you use survival instincts

Police - An excuse to batter some English people taken with aplomb

Absolutely dispicable behaviour.

What kind of a set up was this? I'm trying to be unbiased but from where I was sitting it looked like the Italian fans were free to start the aggro with no police intervention at all, just a few useless stewards.

It would be unfair (IMO) to expect no reaction from the opposing fans, whoever they are. Nature takes care of that.

With all the coppers seemingly in the United enclosure, surely this was a massive recipe for the following events to happen.

Even the death of an Italian Policeman a few months ago doesn't seem to have woken them up to the ways and realities of crowd control.

Its plain to see for all. UEFA must act. Italian football must act.

But they won't, yet again. That is until an English team appear to be the instigators once more.

Same shit, another season..

Maybe one day Italian police will realise that there is more to crowd control than battering cowering people with batons. No wonder the Italians have such crowd problems if those monkeys are "controlling" them.

I think we all know the answer to that one.

Its like a bloody sci-fi movie.

Unfortunately, Bramhall Lane is the place where I have witnessed the worst crowd control.

Around 10 years ago Watford (hardly the most violent fans!) visited, it was an averagely heated game (they often are between Chef Yoo and Watford). Watford fans were being plucked out of the crowd seemingly randomly by gorillas dressed as stewards. This in turn angered the crowd generally, so even more were plucked out by mobs of stewards wading in randomly.

The police refused to act on fans complaints, and were keeping out of it, just laughing. Many letters of complaint were sent to both Chef Yoo and South Yorks finest - which of course were ignored...

Silly gutless organisation.
There have been countless incidents over the past few years where they've done nothing.

UEFA are s, always getting involved in the English game but never in anyone elses.

gents, not sure if this is 100%, but I think UEFA cant do anything. The stadium's poilce is nothing to do with the 'football' so to speak.

sure i read that somewhere.

I think its well out of order, but also I think its what we need here. Tell you what it would stop you messing around. I know it was bad put we all know if you run twards other fans its going to get nasty. especially in Italy!
