It was a f***ing s*** show from the off. I went earlier in the day just for a mooch with Murph and Slappy and a few others. One of the lasses we were with said that underpass would cause problems with 1000s turning up at it
We made the decision to go early and got there for 6pm. Had a couple of tins just outside the underpass then went through about 630pm.
Walked all the way round the stadium at about 645pm. They only place there were a massive queues were our end for the gates Y and Z. When we saw them we thought f*** we'd better get in. Gate A, our entrance, was pretty empty and we got in no bother.
They announced the delayed kick off saying it was down the the late arrival of fans. So I went back out of my block to have a look. Spoke to one our stewards. He was devasted the poor fella. He was saying that uefa and police weren't communicating anything to them.
Really subdued atmosphere during the game. Felt really odd.
With about 10 mins to go riot police marched round our end, as to make a statement for the cameras. As far as I could tell there wasn't any at the Madrid end. So our lot were lobbing flares and drinks at them. Some pissed fella tried to grab a beaker of water that belonged Kirsty. She whipped it off him and told f*** off. He went a bit mental calling her alsorts. Slappy stepped in a got a bop on his lip/nose for his troubles. Slappy looks like he's botox this morning like.
More by luck than judgement we stayed behind to clap the lads. So missed all the tear gassing on the way out.
Uefa and the French police are c**** to a man.
