Breaking news on BBC - my dad said something yesterday about going to Rome today. Hope he was joking

 

When is Italy going to get its house in order? And, for that matter, why didn't the club advise against fans travelling to what is effectively a dead rubber (assuming they didn't of course)?

according to r5 the club advised the travelling fans not to travel by foot and to go in groups. United also took their own stewards to the game for the ground. Sensible imo

 

The incident is said to be a small group who were "apparently" looking for trouble, seen with belts wrapped around their knuckles. Silly boys if thats the case, hope its nothing serious though.

 

And yes, Italy need to sort this mess out, a disgrace!

About time UEFA threw Italy out of all competitions.

 

IF they were looking for trouble they are absolute idiots.

Five Manchester United fans have been stabbed ahead of the club's European Champions tie against Roma.

Violence erupted between a group of 50 rival fans on a bridge near the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

 

Police used two baton charges to disperse the fans. It is not known if any British nationals were arrested.

 

The last time the two teams met in April, 11 fans were taken to hospital after violence in the stadium. The stab injuries are not said to be serious.

 

Consular officials are at the hospital where the fans have been taken. It is reported that two others, one of them a 16-year-old boy, needed treatment for the effects of drink.

 

A Foreign Office spokesman said the situation outside and inside the stadium was "calm."

 

Hooligan warning

 

He said: "It appears there was trouble outside the stadium.

 

"A number of British fans were injured and two British nationals have been arrested.

 

"Our consular officials are on the way to the hospital to check on conditions, the numbers involved and whether anyone needs assistance.

 

"The situation is now said to be calm both outside and inside the stadium."

 

The violence flared at the Pont Duca d'Aosta bridge, the scene of many clashes between visiting fans and Roma's Ultras contingent.

 

Last season there was trouble during the two clubs' Champions League game in Rome when fans were charged and beaten by riot police trying to regain control in the stadium.

 

Scuffles also broke out outside Old Trafford during the second leg of the tie, with 21 people arrested.

 

Greater Manchester Police officers travelled to Rome before Tuesday's game and issued a warning to hooligans not to attend.

An Arsenal fan at work was disgusted when he heard the news.

 

"Only 5?"

 

 

Terrible attitude, I thought.
