If the players had abandoned the game then i'd have said yes. I could see their dismay with a dubious decision for their disallowed goal, then getting hit with the sucker punch with the way Man Utd scored the winning goal after, but the ground wasn't a stage for champions league football to start with.

As the farce with the crowd problem, that could have turned into another Hillsborough disaster and that needs really looking into. Why were there fences there to begin with? And why the heavy handed tactics with the launching of tear gas into the crowd at the first sign of a disturbance, which contained men, women and children that were getting crushed with influx of supporters coming into such a small section of the ground?

Lille are an up and coming team that should not be made an example of, and after they get torn apart at Old Trafford, they can learn a lot of lessons from that one match alone.

Throw Lille out of the Champions League for their players 'leaving' the pitch? No chance.

A fine and a warning from UEFA is the norm for these sorts of things.


The crowd problem is a an obviously more serious and complex problem - I imagine there'll have to be a full investigation (cover-up / switching of blame) before anything is done about that...

UEFA don't look after the fans' best interests - they are there to get rich and have a good old free time at the expense of the paying fans. If UEFA get things wrong they shift the blame - often onto the fans.


Don't think Man Utd did anything wrong in the game (officials' fault for not letting Lille's goal stand) - though I do hope Lille beat them in the return leg
