Manchester City was ablaze with riots yesterday May 15, 2008 after a TV screen, that had been set up for the viewing benefit of non-ticket holding fans, had failed to work 15 minutes before kick off. The UEFA Cup Final resulted in a 2-0 loss for the Scottish Rangers, which only irritated the problem more.

Well, in my opinion no groups of football fans at any time should be allowed within 3 miles of any town or city center. All football stadiums should be built a few miles away from towns and cities. While the councils think these so called fans bring cash with them and spend it, the truth is over the longer term the majority of normal people avoid these cities and towns.
A faulty TV screen is just a great excuse that these idiots needed to run amock. If they had not smashed it up someone was going to get it fixed and working again! Seems to me these people would have gone on the rampage regardless of if a TV stopped working! If the fans were from England we would be banned out of Europe for another five years but how ironic that no action will be taken against Rangers.
