I was neutral but Liverpool were the better team in the match. Courtois was excellent in Real's goal. They did more time wasting than when we had Roy. The officials were terrible. A bit like watching the average Palace game. Not much quality play.

Red and Blue Army!

I sense that you are in a minority.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Even UEFA are stating that the issue at the dippers turnstiles was caused by fans with fake tickets not getting in. Let me get this right.
People knowingly bought fake tickets expecting them to work. Let’s assume they did work. What are the fans with real tickets meant to do when they get in.
It’s lucky that these fans have lots of respect for each other! If the above scenario had happened it could have been another hillsborough ffs.

Fake tickets could get you past the first checkpoint. After that there’s a chance you could get in somehow. People end up watching on the stairs or standing side on in some rows. It would take a lot of extra people for a Hillsborough to happen on a terrace now, especially with no fences, but a pile up down a set of stairs could happen I suppose.

I sense you may be right YT. Never been one to follow the crowd.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

If they were mistreated then I do feel sorry for them.
However, the common denominator for these issues is a always a scouser
Everton last week. Liverpool fans booing the national anthem at Wembley.
The list of scousers and trouble is endless.
