I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
I go back to my original post, of confidently being able to poo poo on everyone involved in this farce. French police, by virtue of being both French and pigs, deserve the most ire I'm sure.

That was kind of my point, guys. There are some clips of Liverpool fans acting badly, but unless the reports coming out are very off, it looks much more like inadequate preparations and training led to the vast majority of the problems that caused the delayed kickoff. Is that a controversial point?

Madrid fans had an easier time getting into the gates, but there were a lot of problems with the event organization that affected them too.

Here's an English language article. My apologies for it being from the Daily Mail.

Welp, it seems that the sight of so much fresh blood drove the locals into a feeding frenzy. Sad.

The details of the fake ticket problem also seems to be murky. I wonder where the prior ~40,000 number came from.

Excited for Liverpool to quadruple down on this

quote:

The Paris police chief said on Thursday that he might have been wrong when he said up to 40,000 Liverpool fans tried enter the Champions League final with fake tickets and that there was no scientific evidence to support the claim.

Didier Lallement added during a hearing in the French Senate that the police action around the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid at the Stade de France was a "failure" both because fans were harmed and the image of France was degraded.

Shocking.
