14AlanSmithifb Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Well I'll begin with the italian police/crowd trouble , Italy is a ****ing hole and UEFA really need to get to grips with the italian clubs because it's happened to many times in the past (even when I went to Milan in 99, the police where heavy-handed but because there wasn't this much TV exposure it wasn't picked up on by the media). Even though i'm saying this nothing will get done because UEFA only seem to punish english clubs, now i'm not saying there wern't all the united fans were angels but theres various better ways to control a football match, can't believe how much better the policing/stewarding over here is. Typical scouser response in this thread , but nothing more than I expected really. AS for the on-field matters, thought before Scholesy was sent packing (he should know better after missing the final in 99 and could cost us the tie)we were starting to get some rythm to our play and started to knock the ball around pretty well. No chance with either of there goals (although VDS could have probably done better with their second). As for our goal what a superb counter-attacking move with Ronnie and Ole both doing some sterling work and an accomplished finish from Rooney, such a big goal. Can't wait for the second leg , the atmosphere is going to be ****ing ace. MoM: Ronnie 2nd: Carrick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirZ Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Glad to hear the OTF guys who went are ok. Scenes looked crazy. Good match to watch as well. But I honestly think without Scholes (Vidic as well)in the 2nd leg, Roma will get a draw which they need to get through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor Eddie Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Mart, my phone died whilst trying to find you at Piazza Venezzia. That must've been somewhere totally different to where you actually were. Just, and I mean just received the rest of your txts. Nice to know your were concerned for me. (Or was that the money ? Sorry about that, but it was still in my sky until five minutes ago, when I passed it on to my dad to use next week on his Rhine cruise). Got into the stadium just before ko. To find that we were all playing Sardines again, a la Lille. And then Scholesy got red carded and the ***** started lobbing bottles at each other, and whatever they could lay their hands on at the Riot Squads. There was one w@nker I saw that was creeping through the crowd, chucking **** at the Nazis and moving on and doing it again. And again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Eddie Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Tried to find you in the ground, but not very hard, I'll admit. Lot's of other **** to contend with. After the match, I just lost all caring, tbh. Was v. pizzed off, though not because we lost, tbh. Lack of smokage, that was.

RedBlood Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 http://www.imusa.org/newsarticle.php?id=49 Can people returning from Rome contact us as a matter of urgency 4th April 2007 Can anyone who was in Rome tonight please send their eye-witness statements to comms@imusa.org as a matter of urgency. IMUSA will once again put a dossier together to submit to UEFA. The club issued warnings to our fans making it clear that they thought that there was danger of attack from the Roma fans. The Italian police were stationed on our side of the fence, in attack formation against United fans, in a way that only made sense if they were trying to protect the Roma fans from us. There is something very wrong here and IMUSA aims to get to the bottom of it. Can all fans who were in Rome tonight get in touch with us to let us know what you saw. If you have pictures or video of these incidents, so much the better. comms@imusa.org Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Posted in the match thread <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> The entire trip was a shambles from start to finish. Left home at 5, got to the airport around 6, flight should have been at 8.30, took off around 9.45 as they didn't have a departure gate so they parked the plane in the middle of nowhere and so we had to get on a bus across the airport. Landed, got onto coaches, which we then waited 20 minutes for the police to decide to move (a police escort at 12 in the afternoon for christs sake), coach driver drove around 20mph and we got into Rome itself at gone 3pm. Found a bar and had a few beers and a ffffb time, singing to United songs, the locals were amazed and stood there taking pictures/videos, few Roma fans walked past and there was friendly banter, we were heading to the stadium at 6.30, again via police escort, had to wait 20/30 mins while the police made their minds up. Drove past Italians on scooters doing the cut throat sign etc, got the ground at 7ish, waited for James07? and headed inside, they didn't have "toilets" they had possibly 6 urinals and 2 cubicles with a hole in the floor. Missed quite a bit of the first half looking out for stuff being thrown, then ofc the fighting kicked in as detailed above. Full time, we were kept in for just over TWO HOURS, they played the 99 CL Final and we didn't get to see the last 3 mins Big Grin, got back onto the coaches and arrived at the airport at 2ish to be greeted by around 50 riot police in full gear, not necessary as we just wanted to get home. Flight left around 3 (flight crew weren't ready ffs) and touched down in Manchester at 5.30. So, around 99% of time was spent queuing or waiting. Uefa won't do anything, that will only happen when someone dies. Disgusting really, ofc we weren't completely innocent but they were way way over the top. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Jimlad Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Okay, firstly it’s good to hear that everyone that went off here got back in one piece. Second, I can't condone the misguided reaction of the United supporters that charged the barrier following provocation from the Roma fans, but the whole situation highlighted once again the inadequacies of continental policing at football stadiums, and since plenty has already been said about all of that I’ll leave my disgust at the whole situation there. Thirdly, the game itself was a bit funny in how it turned out really. I’m not happy we lost but like everyone else I guess I’m content that we’re going into the next leg one goal down and an away goal in the bag. Should make for a good return leg at least. Hopefully certain players will be closer to full fitness. VDS, fine apart from dealing with Mancini’s long shot badly in the build-up to the second goal. Haven’t seen the replay’s of the first Roma goal from a good enough angle to see who it was that just let Taddei have all the time in the world to take his shot. Great take from the Roon after brilliant counter-attacking work from Ronaldo and Ole. Gabby was out of position too often, Giggsy was anonymous, Scholes being pretty idiotic. Not a great night for those three. JOS either actually, kinda lucky Mancini didn’t see more of the ball. MOM: Ronaldo, clearly our biggest threat. 2ND: Rooney probably, thought it was his best all-round game for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick OGS20 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 oh yeah, forgot to say - their first goal, i was a bit annoyed, firstly that we were caught napping by the quick corner and secondly that when Mancini pulls it back, there's Giggs and i think Rooney as well just stood on the edge of the box hands on hips not reacting at all to the danger. vds should clearly have done much better with the second goal too.

Scholes went into the game with a yellow card against his name and incurred an automatic one-game ban when he was booked after 26 minutes. He was then dismissed for a second bookable offence eight minutes later. But Uefa has confirmed that despite the red card on top of the automatic ban, Scholes will only miss the return leg against Roma on Tuesday.
