Who/what are the green brigade?
Oh sorry you’re talking about the war.

They were also holding their phones against the plastic barrier with all sorts of different images on. Palace badges and the Queen were the most common. Not sure why they bothered tbh
Not just young ones. One bloke with white hair made a beeline straight for them to wave his Lazio scarf in their faces.

They like to throw shit. I suspect if nobody did anything back that would have encouraged them just as much, maybe more. They're the type that see a lack of hostility as an opportunity.

It doesn't do it for me. I'm just not going to get apoplectic with rage if someone waves a photo of the palace badge or the says something mean about the queen to me.
Did it work on anyone? Were there Brighton fans jumping up and down in fury at the temerity of showing the palace badge? If anything I'm quite impressed they knew who Palace were and that they were our rivals considering that when we got promoted no one else in England appeared aware of the fact.

Just like Withdean, but with circa ten times the capacity, and a thousand times the atmosphere.

not WW1 - they won that one
I did chuckle at the steward laughing and joining in with the the 'Forza Lazio' chant as he filmed it

Football fans are an oddly mixed bunch so far we’ve had a racist a bloke who abuses women and now this fella waving a scarf of our hosts rivals. The top tier folks need to look at themselves

I thought they were louder than Marseille - was a cracking atmosphere.
Everything I read beforehand (not just the club stuff) said avoid the bridge and area around it - I was going to walk to the stadium but decided not to when it was apparent after walking around down there earlier in the week that going around that side of the ground was the only logical way in (although I did see a very small number of people being allowed into the bus drop-off on foot as we queued to get in - they presumably didn't antagonise their taxi drivers into dropping them in the middle of the enemy

Marseille was several times louder than last night. Having done that one, I found Roma quite disappointing by comparison.

Money talks.Yep, but it's seemingly happening
Yes but they still changed sides. Were originally on the German side but switched over when they were promised we would get them back Trieste and somewhere else from the Austro-Hungarian empire if they helped us defeat them.
Chanting 'Forza Lazio' was more effective, they didn't seem to like that much - presumably they didn't know any of the black-clad wankstain chants from up the road to throw back at us

Zero evidence Roma fans were involved in the robbery and its bollocks like that which will cause trouble next week. Insulting banners, oh my
