Re: 74 Dead After A Soccer Match
We have had many football fans die in disasters at grounds, none I would have said was aggression towards another fan.More a case of barriers collapsing or a rush to get through a narrow gap, and as with the Ibrox stadium fans coming down a stairway falling over in the rush and folks at the back not realising there were folks lying in front of them, all of them a tragedy.

Re: 74 Dead After A Soccer Match
I too loathe Football Uncle Joe.......Disgusting behaviour from so called Civilised People in the UK. My Grandad used to go the Game most Saturday Afternoons and sometimes took me along with him. It bored me but there was never any carry on at the Match, Fans yelled and Cheered for their Side and all mixed and talked during the Break. When did all this Rioting and Fighting actually start....and WHY?

Re: 74 Dead After A Soccer Match
Uncle Joe You ask why we were banned by UEFA well here is whyUEFA are always trying to force British National teams i.e. England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, to play in Europe under one banner UK. At the time the UEFA president saw this as a perfect opportunity to apply pressure to the British Federations and at the same time introduced the ill fated foreigner rule to try and prevent British Clubs from ever succeeding again in European competitioons.
Banning British clubs from Europe has always been the first and last refuge of UEFA no matter how minor or major the incident. Dutch Football has around 20 stadium deaths each year and Italien football has around 35 stadium deaths each year yet neither clubs nor country have ever been banned or even proposed to be banned.
Egypt will host the Asia cup and will still be allowed to participate in UEFA sponsored tournaments as were Turkey and Israel after their stadium riots.
