Visit repubblica.it and look at the police video about roma-manchester (link in homepage).
comment again about italian police brutality??

zico, centrocampo,

it does seem rather coincidental that wherever the british go they get into trouble and they are NEVER to blame??
Rome and Seville have hosted a huge amount of fans from all over and somehow managed not to mistreat anyone! There are violent football fans in every country unfortunately but it is about time that each country take responsibility for what their fans do home and abroad.
The british were drunk and up for a fight so sad to see.
I have seen many Roma games with the so called infamous Ultras and never seen a problem. Call that luck? Perhaps but I think one major factor is that the majority of fans in Europe (not England) do not drink.

maybe you should watch the video the prefect of Rome showed during a press conference.

shades of gray matters.

To Jua, Roberto and Vittorio, yes English fans need to behave themselves abroad we are no saints. Neither is the rest of Europe's football fans, or did you choose to ignore the comment about Italian 'Ultra' fans ambushing Man U fans? Lets all be critical of this element of the game and not finger point and blame the English as it happens to be the easy option.

Stephen, Maidstone,

Nowerdays, attending football matches within Europe has become life-threating as we have seen with the clashes in both Rome and Seville.

Greece has lately been struck by a huge war-like fight between Olympiakos and Panathaniakos supporters within the capital and as a result, one man was stabbed to death.

Football has really lost its true meaning as the so-called " Beautiful Game".

More importantly, its bad enough for children to see this clashes as it can have an influence on behaviour in later life.

My suggestion, do not attend football matches. The TvV is good enough and you have a nice view.

English fans need to start voting with their feet - boycott European away games!

The Champions League - like the Premiership - is all about money, celebrity and image. Nothing attacks the image of these tournaments like empty seats in poor stadiums with no atmosphere.

Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Newcastle, Liverpool, Spurs .. whoever else qualifies for Europe. Your fans need to stay away from these games. Let your clubs play with none of their fans in the ground.

And for those who say its "always the English", even if some English fans WERE in the wrong (and I'm not saying they were), it still doesn't justify beating up men in wheelchairs and twelve year old girls, does it?

Because if you think it does, then the police have the right to walk into a bank robbery and start shooting everyone in the bank, not just the criminals, but everyone who has the misfortunte to be in the wrong place.

Roberto, you really need to start paying a bit more attention. Was all football in Italy not recently suspended after the death of an Italian police officer during rioting at an Italian game? Where were the British supporters in that incident?

While any violent incident has to be lamented, the Seville supporters were not involved
(at least, inside the stadium), there were not any serious injury, the police showed a more restrained tone than the one exhibited in Rome, and the Tottenham supporters didn't seem to continue any disruption (at least, as shown on TV) after their initial frustration motivated by the penalty-which it was a borderline decision.
I am a proud Sevilla FC supporter and I am looking forward to a fascinating return leg-Totenham was a quality attacking side and put Seville on their knees at the end of the second half. Sevilla, on the other hand, is capable of playing better football, so hopefully we will se a good match.
It was not good decision from UEFA to have the match on Holy Thursday in Seville.

Ignacio Rodriguez, London,

behave yourselves you so called football fans and every country you'll be in will recieve you as guests, not as paleolithic animals. by the time you show respect for the sport and for the other team's supporters, you'll be treated as you like human beings.

Jua, La Haya,

You dear Brits, you still don't get it do you! Wherever your hooligans go there is trouble, and of course it's always somebody else's fault. Poor drunken hooligans, you decided to do outside what your country does not allow you to do at home any more and still you play victims. In my life Imet and dealt with many good mannered, civilised Brits, only one thing wrong with them, they had to hit the bottle every day, after which they became the opposite of what they were . Insteadof always trying to teach others how to behave, why don't you look into this very serious collective problem many Britss have and GET A LIFE , please

I belive it's time that english fans realize they CANNOT do whatever they want outside UK.

It's always someone else's foult.

You must behave properly and nobody will beat you up.

Cannot be a coincidence that it occurs only with british supporters.

You all should be more critics with yourselves.

Roberto, Amsterdam, Holland

I find it very hard to believe the Spanish police were at fault.

Time to grow up English football hooligans.

Italian Police attacks only in case of violent riots.
hooligans vs Police fight is Rome was due to the violent behaviour of Manchester Fans (well some of them, I'm NOT saying any Man U supporter is a violent guy), as proven by the new photos and videos shown today by the Italian Police.
