The Scar on English Football

[Mike_CFC]

When English clubs were banned from Europe after Heysell,this was UEFA's spineless way of making English clubs an example.During the 1980's clubs outside England like Feyenoord,Ajax,Roma and Juventus were causing all sorts of carnage when their fans travelled around Europe,and UEFA never banned Dutch or Italian clubs from Europe,looking at the English as the scourge of football.

Fair enough,hooliganism in England was rife in the 1980's,my club(Chelsea) were certainly no angels,as were West Ham,Millwall,Leeds United,Birmingham City,among the worse of a motley crew of thugs i experienced.Liverpool FC even had the gaul to blame the Heysell tragedy on Chelsea and West Ham fans travelling to Belgium spoiling for a fight with the Juventus 'ultras'.They simply did'nt face up to their own crowd problems,and scousers are also no angels when they travel around Europe.

I found it bang out of order that English clubs got banned,while the no better Italians,Germans and Dutch got away scott free.

Typical English hating UEFA and their double standards.
