To be honest there seemed a lot of people at the ground that had never been to a football match before, let alone Anfield, and also a small minority of scum that just did not not how to behave properly and show people respect.
Still have no idea why the tickets printed were so eay to photocopy and scan or forge, had no microchips in them (like the World Cup '06), and why there were no turnstiles at the ground - or electronic ticket readers to weed out the forgeries and help prevent bunk-ins. Why on eather the Police didn't man the perimeter fencing to stop people climbing over and into the stadium still baffles me - it was so obvious it was going to happen.
Perhaps the recent political situation between the Greek government and the Police has a part to play in their inactions, and then over-the-top actions later on?
I haven't seen much coverage of the events in the media since (I haven't been able to watch the game back on tv yet) - what did the papers and tv say? Are UEFA still shifting blame from themselves to Liverppol fans?
