Uefa to act after United fans crushed

Uefa is to investigate the crush of supporters and major security scare that overshadowed Manchester Unitedâs hugely controversial 1-0 win over Lille in the Champions League last night. European footballâs governing body will also hold an urgent inquiry into the behaviour of Lilleâs players after they threatened to walk off the pitch in protest at Ryan Giggsâs goal, but the priority will be to look at the off-pitch drama.
Riot police fired tear gas into an overcrowded section of United supporters after they tried to scale the perimeter fences to get away from the type of incident that demonstrates why metal cages are no longer allowed in England. United have pledged to assist Uefa with its inquiries and a meeting was hastily arranged with the clubâs security officials at the end of a match in which it seemed a miracle that nobody was hospitalised.
âWe will be submitting a report to Uefa,â said a United spokesman. âWe met with Uefa officials, FA officials and the police straight after the game. We want to hear the accounts of supporters who may have been involved and we will submit that to Uefa.â
Uefaâs match delegates were so concerned that there were appeals over the loudspeakers for calm in the away end. Appallingly, there was nothing approaching calm on the pitch. When Giggs scored the goal with a quickly taken free-kick seven minutes from the end, the Lille players surrounded the Dutch referee, Eric Braamhaar, complaining long and hard that they had still been lining up their wall and had not heard a whistle.
In extraordinary scenes, the French sideâs coaching staff were so incensed that they encouraged some of their players to leave the pitch as a protest. Uefaâs charge-sheet is bound to be long and the recriminations have set up a feisty second leg at Old Trafford on March 7. First, though, Uefa must look at what happened off the pitch and particularly the actions of the French riot police.
Five minutes had been played when it became apparent that late arrivals had dangerously swelled the away end. There were clearly United fans being crushed and several scaled the perimeter fences, signalling frantically for help. One woman was dragged out by security stewards. Another fan ran on to the playing surface and signalled that the game should be stopped and for five terrible minutes of confusion there were scenes that were worryingly reminiscent of the early stages of the Hillsborough disaster.
Thankfully it proved to be nowhere near as serious but there were far too many supporters in the right-hand corner of the away end, with large areas of empty seats at the opposite corner, and there were reports late last night that the French police had opened the gates for United fans who had black-market tickets for other sections of the stadium.
What is beyond doubt is that the police handled a significant safety issue atrociously. The firing of tear gas did at least succeed in moving the fans away from the cages but it was an absurdly heavy-handed gesture, the only possible explanation being that the police believed the supporters were trying to get on the pitch to cause trouble. Some supporters were struck with batons.
The Stade FĂ©lix-Bollaert was one of the 1998 World Cup stadiums but the events last night will renew questions about the wisdom of having perimeter fences inside football grounds. Uefa may also be unimpressed by the fact that United fans stood in an all-seated area throughout the game, a habit which has got the club in trouble before now. A flare was lit in the second half and a disciplinary charge will almost certainly be brought against the club.
There is bad feeling between these clubs going back to their games last season when Sir Alex Ferguson accused the Lille player Mathieu Bodmer of deliberately elbowing Giggs, giving the winger a fractured cheekbone. Giggs was again at the centre of last nightâs rancorous events when he caught out Tony Sylva as he lined up his wall for a free-kick 25 yards out.
In the ensuing protests, Sylva was booked and all 11 Lille players crowded around Braamhaar demanding that the goal be disallowed. From the restart, Lille simply kicked the ball into touch and their coaches suddenly appeared on the touchline, beckoning for the players to leave the pitch. Grégory Tafforeau, the captain, was the first to walk off followed by several team-mates.
Unitedâs players, led by their captain Gary Neville, rushed over to confront their opponents and then came the extraordinary sight of Ferguson furiously signalling for them to return to the pitch. At one stage Ferguson grabbed Neville and gave him an angry shove. Neville responded with a stream of invective.
Think Iâll go back to the parrot pit. Itâs nice there!
Think Iâll go back to the parrot pit. It was nice there. It was nice there. Think IâllâŠ
a wonderful turn of phrase

Fuck me thatâs pathetic. And wholly irrelevant.
[QUOTE=âAppendage, post: 932038, member: 11â]Why are you so upset about it? These people have nothing to with you. The people Scrunchie described in Athens are fucking animals. In light of Heysel and Hilsborough it certainly casts aspersions on the behaviour of the people from the city of Liverpool.
No aspersions on your behaviour though farmer.[/QUOTE]
How am I âso upsetâ?
What I took from Scrunchieâs initial post was that he was inferring that Liverpool fans stormed in Athens and that this meant they stormed at Hillsborough. When we all the fault at Hillsborough lay entirely with the police.
Yes, the carry on of the âfansâ in Athens was cuntish. Absolutely. I donât deny that those cunts are probably shouting âJustice for the 96â while at the same time carry on in such a manner as well. But you have scumbag elements everywhere alas.
Whatever happened to Duncan?
He was in breeches of club policy⊠A right good yarn⊠Worth googling.
Itâs very relevant, as is the Celtic-Dundee match being 20k over capacity. If people continue to spin the pathetic, deliberate mendaciousness that Liverpool fans were to blame for Hillsborough (simply because they turned up in Sheffield), then I can bring up several examples where fans of other clubs, such as Manchester United, would be, by these peoples own standards, guilty of worse.
I donât think Celtic or Manchester United supporters were animals because they overcrowded stadiums. I know it shows that the people responsible for crowd control at these matches, ie the police, were grossly incompetent.
As they were at Hillsborough.
There wouldnât be a fraction of the number of posts about Hillsborough this week if Liverpool werenât going for the title.
It just shows how the haters are rattled to within an inch of their life that they have to resort to point scoring over the deaths of 96 people.
No, Sid, Everton is a football club, mate. Traditionally they have drawn the majority of their support from Liverpudlians of Irish heritage, and that remains the case today.
Wouldnât be the first time Sid got it wrong thoughâŠ
