If it's just an innocent scarfer then I hope he will recover, even if he is scum.

But if it's one of their fucking cowardly "firm" (snigger :roll: ) arseholes, then fuck him - no sympathy whatsoever. Go around attacking women and children or isolated Gooners mob-handed, then some day karma is gonna be a serious bitch right back. :x

If it is indeed the same bunch that go around doing that shit then I would agree

However, it could be that a bunch of innocent fans just enjoying a drink have been randomly singled out by the Ultras again. I'm not sure that's something to celebrate
Seems to be a case of a couple of fans having a drink being completely ambushed by 30-100 wankers with all sorts of weapons. Exactly like numerous sets of travelling England fans before them.

Agreed. Still I'm sure those heavyweights at UEFA will be there to save the day once more. Might get a hearing at some point in 2013, before fining Lazio €30k and warning them about their fans future conduct

[quote="SteveO 35"][quote="SouthCoastArsenal"]"Amazing to think that ALL English clubs were banned from European competition based on a few different incidents"

Erm, I think alot of dead Italians contributed to that[/quote]

So you're referring to Heysel - why should that have translated into a ban for ALL English clubs. WTF did Arsenal have to do with that incident and why should we have been banned from playing in the 1990 European Cup after winning the League at Anfield. That was all down to our lovely victim friends from Anfield who should have received a club ban for a very long time, along with Galatasaray and Lazio[/quote]


I'm saying that 39 dead bodies is a little more than "a few different incidents".

I agree - which is exactly why Liverpool should have received something like a 10 year ban for that incident. I'm not sure why the rest of us had to suffer too.

True, but my recollection was that there had been trouble earlier in the day between both sets of fans and that the cause of death was - in the main - resulting from a wall collapsing, and the failure of UEFA to effectively segregate fans....

As I said before, I'm sure if you spoke to any Arsenal fan who (like me) was there in 1980 to watch us play a final in the same ground (5 years before the disaster!) they would tell you that it was unsafe and unfit to hold a major football match. TBH I think Liverpool fans have been a bit of a scapegoat and there but for the grace of god that it didn't happen to us....

EDIT: And I'm saying that even knowing that we missed out on Europe 6 times because of the ban!

Do not think we are in any position to laugh at this, innocent Arsenal fans got ambushed by bigger groups of Roma fans back in 2002.
Does not sound like it was the Spurs firm.

Feels like hypocrisy with heavier punishments handed out to English clubs over other clubs though.
