first of all if they had not put up these large screen tv's (3) can you imagine what would have happened ? the figures given out are around 150,000 to 200,000 plus in manchester they had one large screen on stanby at the velodrome .( i live near the stadium and i did not know about this.) there would have been a lot more trouble had they (the council) not put up these screens.
i ask once again when have united fans caused trouble in the city centre ?are all football fans holligans ? why not ban all open air music concerts after all there have been trouble after some of them ?

Why do people act surprised?

100,000 sweaties (although) most Rangers fans don't follow Scotland), hot day, drinking all day etc etc

Mmmmm I wonder what might happen.

34 years the man U fans ran amok outside Ibrox the last time they played, punching and kicking anyone they saw fit, they have also been involved in incidents at 3/4 european games in the last season or 2. They are not as innocent as you think.

first of all when the american manchester united have played abroad are you saying the united fans stabbed themselves.
second, the english police checking these fans have praised them
3rd when glasgow celtic play in manchester thousands come and drink all day and it is one big party

Er, I'm not Scottish, Brionon, and the English vs Scots thing was brought up by the orignal questioner, not me.

I was simply pointing out how ridiculous it was to imply that the Scottish fans should learn to behave like the English, when the Scots are mere amateurs compared to English fans when it comes to being football yobs.
