If it’s like the Euro final last summer, there will be thousands- if not tens of thousands- of ticketless fans trying to get in. Presumably the French authorities aren’t coping and the French police, who could start a punch up at a children’s party, will be making things worse. But the primary problem will be scousers trying to get in without tickets. I’m pretty defensive when it comes to English fans- I’ve been England home and away since 1981- but  this is now becoming a very English thing and a very English problem.

Don't tar all French police with the same brush. This will be their riot police, who are proper headbangers

There is a BBC Merseyside reporter stuck outside who says fans have been stuck for 1 1/2 hour trying to get in. 

Is the same thing happening with Madrid fans?

No, none taken either SS, your post was absolutely fine…was only responding to Silvio’s excellent post (he often does).  Sometimes others should just think 5 seconds before they post.

If I thought for 5 seconds, I'd forget what I was on about

Oh thank god they didn't cancel the opening ceremony. Not like that could save some time.

Massive swathes of empty seats, it's not like the allocation was that good either.  Poor show by the French and UEFA. 

Or the Liverpool fans for not turning up on time?

Sorry

I have family experience of Hillsborough, and it winds me up a bit when people post shit.

Fair enough. No harm meant.

How do Rovers cope with all those fans locked out every week?

I’ve heard most of the Liverpool fans are still waiting for their coach to turn up.

KO now 830pm …tear gas used outside the ground to make everyone cry  

Isn't that the point?

Well said SD.

Stop being so grown up and sensible. Honestly.

Rio doing some good padding there. In the final you don't get a second leg. You have to do it tonight. Genius.

Great argument. 40 years ago vs now...

Are Liverpool favourites?

How many times has Ferdinand said "100%" tonight?

How do you know fans without tickets are true?

Because it was reported?

Michael Owen's hot takes on crowd control are exactly what I need at 8pm on a Saturday night. Top prime time tv.

F**ks sake boys.

If there are people trying to get in and chaos outside, the last thing to do is start pointing fingers. We don’t know what’s happening, and what happened at Hillsborough was proven to be so different from original reports it’s not true.

Stick to facts and hope everyone is ok.

Errrr...where did we not? Fans without tickets, CRS, tear gas, all true.

PS some of the "boys" may be "girls"

Oh hell, the CRS are involved outside...

Have no fear I can't be assed with it at the moment.  Just bored waiting for kick off. 

Likewise. Let's agree to disagree.

Lots of fans stuck outside the stadium, reportedly some of the gates have been closed for like 45 minutes. Rumours of people trying to get in without tickets, some reports of local French, some reports of Liverpool fans so not clear what the truth is.

Unfortunate Hillsborough vibes

Fans still filtering in. 

Ah. Paris metro is an absolute 'mare, to be fair.
