Roma Should Be Kicked Out Of Europe

Roma FC should not be kicked out. The injuries to all supporters were sustained as a result of poor policing. Striking someone to the head should be the last resort of an officer fearing for his life; NOT an officer losing his temper and using fans as pinatas!!!! Terrible terrible indictment on Italian policing.

Disgraceful scenes without a doubt and we complain about the British police. They are teddy bears compared to that lot of thugs...

Also couldn't help but notice an error on the poll question JP. Shouldn't it say 'Moore' not 'Young'?

I live in Manchester and watched the match last night surrounded by Mancs (though I was trying to watch our boys in the Cricket!). The Italian police's strategy has to be scrutinised. They are still seething from losing a colleague in Scilly and they fail to police their own. However, United should have not added fuel to the fire in the 1st instance. Why were there no police on the Roma side of the perspex barrier? It is clear the "Ultras" lot rushed over first and gave it the "lets be aving ya" gestures... As Einstein specified, any action has on opposite (or equal) reaction, so the united fans who reacted to this is no surprise. No excuse though, they saw the police and should have behaved accordingly. United will get fined, but Roma should get fined x10 more than United. There is nothing that UEFA can do about the Carbonarri in Italy. Having said that, they're loads of tw*tish united fans though - I've travelled to away united games with mates, (not funded by my own pockets- my £££s are for the coffers of AVFC! Honest!!), and you get a few who have had a few too many that decided to smash-up their seat before leaving the hosting ground - I have seen this on a couple of occasions. Also, have you seen the "crush" footage against Lillie on youtube? Make your own minds up.... hopefully some footage will get posted after this latest altercation?! http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lille%20trouble%20manchester%20united&search=Search Also, can you remember the 3rd Rnd of the cup vs. Villa, and United 3-2 comeback and the crowd invasion? It's always a minority that tarnish our game, but better policing doesn't go a miss. Put some police on the Roma side of the fence and last nights trouble would have been outside the stadium (which raises other matters for concern entirely).

Disgraceful totally unacceptable behaviour by the police. I'm sure if that had happened at the theatre of screams there would be a bigger outcry.

Everything always blows over for the eyeties cos theyre all wingey ass ponces

Italian football has a major problem with hooliganism, along the same scale as we had over here in the 70's and 80's. Obviously not being at the game I cant say who was/wasn't to blame, whether it was police tactics, Roma's thugs, or the United louts. Probably a combination of all three if the truth be known. There should be a thorough investigation into how the police tactics went so wrong, and both Roma and United should be heavily fined. The key word that I use is 'should'. It should happen in all three cases, but we all know full well that it wont.

everyone has said the fans were getting on fine with each other
