A tragic error say police - isn't that what police always say about a wrongful shooting?

Pretty tough pretty boys in their own backyard. Not quite so brave against foreign opposition.

Not just our own media though is it. UEFA would have suspended all European games in England if it had happened here. The Italians, Turkish and others get away with it time after time.

Not sure what this has to do with a football fan getting shot by the police?

THPP is providing a side issue reference.Inferring that the Italians give it the big one in their backyard but do not travel away with it.

Sounds like it royally kicked off after the shooting, all over the country, including at minor 3rd division games.

Tragic error by the police - the original scrap at the service station was between Lazio and Juve fans on their way to separate games. And look how it escalated...

The italian mobs tend to fight the police as much as they do each other. When the copper got killed at palermo, that was all part of an organised attack on the old bill in response to some sort of police brutality. I'd expect to see more reprisals in the coming weeks

certainly some warning!

bet it worked though

Evidently THPP does. Is he not supposed to?
