^ Gaillard has since distanced himself from saying that we are the worst fans in Europe - he's just realised that stealing flags from lamposts is not quite up there with killing a policeman, stabbing rival fans, throwing motorcycles off the top tier of a stadium, being thrown out of the UEFA Cup, throwing flares and lighters at players and refs, racist chanting, charging riot police etc.

Incidentally AC Milan fans have a couple of those banners he is on about being stolen too, as do people selling them on ebay in Greece. Gaillard also failed to mention that Police also fired tear gas the Milan end of things as well. No mention of the security failing to stop that nutter who ran the length of the pitch to confront Reina in the Final - wtf were the stewards and security doing? just watching it seems?

Unfortunately mud sticks - and Gaillard - hiding behind this unpublished 25-incident dossier has thrown so much it is obvious he is using it to detract from UEFA's organisational failings. Yet the damage is done - unfortunately people still believe what is written and jumped upon by the tabloid press - and once again Liverpool fans are painted as thugs and hoodlums...
