Bris Red Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 In a City where guns are not too uncommon you have to be naive in the extreme to think a hammer wont be used as a weapon.. Liverpool fans throughout history have always painted themselves as the victims haven’t they though.. absolute bollox... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people even use the expression "I'm gonna kill you" after a friend has played a trick on them. So long as words remain words it's no great fuss.

We do not for sure know who it was; yet. 6 hours ago, hodge said: It was a Roma fan with it supposedly I supposed it was the way the article was written but I did not see it confirmed. For that reason we must be cautious before apportioning it to Liverpool or Roma; or perhaps a Putin agent; they are all over matches I have heard.

havanatopia Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 18 minutes ago, Tiree said: Putin agents make for a media story but what no football fan should forget is Liverpool FC love to remember Hillsborough (rightly so imo but they do make the world want to feel their grief) LFC do not appear so eager to remember 29/5/85 when their fans were to blame for dozens of Italian deaths at Heysel - with over 600 injured. Makes a hammer fairly small fry One injury is one too many I am sure you would agree; i don't think you should belittle the horrific damage a hammer can do; it is a lethal weapon and the culprit should be behind bars for a month for intent alone.

Admin phantom Posted April 25, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Reminded me of an incident at a T20 game at Taunton against Glamorgan last season Was a very close game and plenty of alcohol and later transpired narcotics by our visitors over the bridge, Glamorgan won in the final over where it got quite nasty at the end of the game Certainly on a scale of what I have seen around football grounds, a Glamorgan "fan" was near to wear the Somerset groundsman was set to go onto the pitch, when he grabbed his hammer and started waving it around peoples faces, luckily someone put him on his arse but just goes to show the mentality of some people out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Well when your fanbase is known for stabbing people in the arse and riding off on mopeds, and carrying fucking belts round as weapons, hammer doesn't really come as much of a surprise. Could kill someone with one swing off he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sticks 1969 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Would not fancy being a Liverpool fan next week going by a previous visit to Rome with England in 97.it was the first big away game after euro 96 and a lot of people and family’s went after all the excitement of England games at Wembley a lot had a huge shock on how they were treated by locals and police alike, it was pretty tense and dodgy around the ground and if you were English you were fair however old you were. The italians just attacked at will while the police turned a blind eye!! glad they never qualified for the World Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only really found that at Cardiff and Millwall when following City. The only grounds where you are likely to get a slap just for being a City fan regardless of whether you are looking for a punch up or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Terrible what happened and yeah a hammer Suppose I got lucky then- was at Roma last August and saw no issues tbh. Had none either (was in the home end behind the goal- the ultras to my right). Seemed fine to me. Had no problems there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder- though I can only guess- if they have a bit of Millwall, in the sense of the supporters who you don't want there come out in the biggest games. Puzzled as to how they did it in this case, because I (and my mate) had to provide passport details to get a ticket! I fear you could be right, though I hope not.
