Milan Derby

[Pervert]

Italian fans seem to get off with anything. During the Scotland game a few weeks back, rival Italian fans started belting the crap out of one another, then tore into the police.

As one Scots fan put it, the Tartan Army were being searched for coins before the game, yet those vicious buggers were allowed in with sticks and chains. And what possible excuse can there be for letting people take flares into the ground.

How long before a player or official is killed by these maniacs? And if UK fans were responsible for a tenth of their Italian counterparts, there'd be demands for the national teams to be punished.

I have to agree with Caractus here.

Really Inter should get banned from Uefa competitions for at least a year but the fact that they are one of Europes (so called) big clubs means that Uefa will probably run scared of them and opt for a game or two behind closed doors.

I suspect a smaller club wouldn't get away with it but that's open to debate I suppose.

Inter will not be banned, and it will be TV who decide that. They will not want to pay the huge fees to Uefa without the top teams being in the competition.

One only has to look at the Masters golf to see how TV decides who will be playing.

I know several fanatical Liverpool fans who are not going to Turin tonight, one is actually working in Geneva, only 3 hours away by train. They fear real trouble. I pray the game goes off OK for the good of football.

I echo that, as much as I loathe scousers with the usual terrace banter, I hope none of these genuine footy loving fans travel to Turin.
The Juve fans response to the first leg with the Heysal forgiveness theme, makes you realise there is still hostilities from them. Turning their backs and giving the one fingered salute was disgraceful.
If I was a scouser I would stay at home and watch it in the safety of the pub
