I don’t dislike them. In fact I posted on here after we played them at home that they were one of the better big club fans.
Try again.

could it be that Liverpool were in Europe when Citeh and Chelsea were shyte , just about every year they have been abroad for one cup or other , yes they have a scally element , most clubs do , i have been on the receiving end from Chelsea , West Ham , Everton , Man u , Boro to name a few , one of the nastiest instances was when a mate got a brick in the face at a West Brom game back in the 80's , wholesale violence disappeared for a while , looks like its on the rise now and the reasons for that are obvious , over zealous security and crowd control are justified as the new normal ....the French have never been particularly welcoming , i have seen fist fights break out on the banks of the Seine between 2 men bartering over the price of a tea towel ffs , they don't like us , simple , and they are never going to admit that they have done the wrong thing by Liverpool fans....ever.!!

big game security at wembley ws a joke for the euro final , no one is going to get involved when they are on 16 quid an hour. , i'm sure it was/is no better at the Stade de Frog.
Perhaps Liverpool fan and Radio X presenter Toby Tarrant who was there is lying about his own fellow fans

So 2000 locals and ‘nowhere near as many Liverpool fans.’ That’s the first numbers I’ve seen put on it and it clearly shows the opposite of what you are saying. I agree with you on your points about inadequate security but have no idea why you are buying in to the smokescreen of Saturday being the fault of Liverpool fans. ‘Nowhere near as many’ could not have caused a 30 minute kick off delay or justified use of tear gas and closure of turnstiles.

Er! How does that relate to anything you said in your previous post? Where is Toby Tarrant's mention of "Scousers" knowingly flogging fake tickets for £50?

Again a question. Why can't people have a grown up, sensible conversation, without infantile name calling?
Oh right, sorry thought you wanted either scenario clarifying. But it was happening on Twitter whether it was some elaborate ‘bantz’ or real who knows I guess
Again - I never said it was the sole cause of the problems, but it was definitely an element of what caused the issues but I don’t see to many Liverpool fans acknowledging that it went on. Just think logically anyone without a ticket or with a fake one, causes a blockage at the gate / turnstile. Add in enough of these and the general congestion and it causes problems.
What’s not clear is why did they close all but 1 gate and at what point did that happen? Were all of them ever open ? Or did they close them when they had issues with fake / ticketless fans ?

You clearly have the impression you "knew" as you posted it as a statement of fact - no mention of banter in your post!
I’ll make this clear. It was evident on Twitter last week that Liverpool fans were selling knowingly and openly selling fake tickets for £50-£100. This kind of thing creates a problem and how significant this was to the overall problems and handling is not known

You have asked a very good question in your second paragraph and it needs answering before French politicians decide to pass the blame on to Liverpool fans like they have been this morning. Similarly you need to know numbers of fake tickets before you can say ‘it caused an element of the issues’. If that can be demonstrated then I am sure Liverpool fans will condemn it but at the moment there is no evidence so what exactly would they be acknowledging ? The numbers make a hell of a difference because if they were small then they did not cause the issues.

The instances of witnessing disgusting and obnoxious behaviour are rather Liverpool fan heavy in my time, and we've barely played them over my 30 years.
I'm sure someone will interject and tell me they are are completely innocent though and I must have got my facts wrong.

Part of the problem was also, apparently, the scanners. Jonathan Wilson of the guardian podcast had a genuine ticket and he advised that it took several times before it was recognized by the scanners. If that was occurring at other turnstiles then the stewards may well have thought tickets were fake.

So the French Government blaming it all on fake tickets. They are saying 40 % of tickets were fake and ‘they looked like real tickets.’ Odd because every game I go to in the UK I simply scan a barcode to get in. Doesn’t matter what they look like.
The French Interior Minister also referencing some anti hooligan agency being revived. Basically dog whistling the media coverage of Hillsborough much like posters on here. Also blaming Liverpool fans for getting in the ground late when it was the French themselves that did not open the gates. Bit of a ****ing disgrace but unsurprising from these characters.

Maybe it is easier to adjust a real ticket, add a fake barcode digitally and then pass it on digitally..... than fake a tangible paper ticket. Certainly seen this on gig tickets (some naive people advertising tickets on FB marketplace with a photo of the actual ticket with genuine barcode, then copied).
I think that’s my point as to why they exist - they would pass the visual check at the first perimeter, but then not work at the turnstile.
Likewise with the app, in theory it’s a good idea because it uses Bluetooth to only send you your ticket when you are at the first checkpoint and then the turnstile - if followed properly great idea, but with queues I’d bet they’d accept a screenshot at a quick glance
