Not being able to follow your team in any major event is a blow but to lose out to corporate suits who could not careless about the result is just wrong.

UEFA’s excuse for the low allocation and ticket problems was that it wasn’t their fault as “the stadium was not built for football”! Well excuse me they picked the stadium so just whose fault is it?

Well according to Galliard the blame is firmly on the door step of Liverpool football club and their problematic fans!

There is no accountability in UEFA, who appear content to pass the blame to anyone but themselves. The fact remains that they poorly organised a huge event despite warnings that the stadium did not have the infrastructure to cope with a game of this magnitude.

As for the worst fans in Europe claim……….

This claim was apparently made following a secret UEFA report (which they will not make public!) claiming Liverpool fans had been involved in more incidents than any other fans in Europe over the last five years. .It has been reported that these ‘incidents’ included the theft of banners and chanting and singing in the street!

Apparently these offence’s make supporters of Liverpool worse than the Italian fans who stabbed a police officer to death at a game involving Catania and Palermo earlier in the season, the Danish fan who ran on the pitch to attack a referee for awarding a late penalty or the Roma fans who attacked Manchester United supporters earlier in the competition which led to over zealous riot police battering some fans to a bloody pulp!

Well I don’t believe it is rocket science in figuring out which incidents are the more serious, not just in the context of the game but in the context of society as a whole.

UEFA have not only shown themselves up as poor custodians of the game they have also embarrassed themselves with their post match claims. Until they take responsibility for their own short comings the organisation of the game will not improve and, more alarmingly, it could be a matter of time before another football tragedy becomes a horrifying reality.
