What did you do???

Anyone who went to Athens 2007 will know this was not the only incident it was like the Wild West liverpool fans had been drinking all day it was a miracle no one was killed it was not a scene of a single incident but a mass break in of the ground with riot police. I was not doing down the race incident it really helps to read what people write before answering what you thought they wrote. This demonstrates my point race incidents are blown out of all proportion and I seem to recall the victim in this incident was seeking a high financial compensation I will try to find the info. Don't get me wrong this is unacceptable and deserves punishment but like I said some perspective is requirdd. The incidents in Athens received little publicity and as far as I am aware the perpetrators received no punishment. As me for me intervening like James Bond or batman everything happens fast and was maybe 50 yards away and part of a wider disorder I have also been in other incidents on my liverpool travels such as at Wembley 1989 seeing a group of liverpool fans racially abuse a young Asian girl with child I and other liverpool fans did intervene on that occassion.

Indeed.

Stan almost makes it sound acceptable.
They should have been caught, horse whipped to within an inch of their scrawny lives, and then lobbed in a friggin' dungeon with bread and water as their only sustenance.

One thing I hate more than the idiots who do this sort of thing, are the majority who stand by and don't do anything about it. Makes me sick.

This isn't being blown out of proportion in anyway what so ever. Abusing somebody racially, mentally or physically is disgusting and ought to be punished and I'd say that the punishment these idiots have received his only too lenient.

As to the incident you're referring to Stan, have you ever seen any footage of the attack? I ask because this racial case has received a lot of publicity because there is video footage on the internet, accessible all over the world and the culprits can be clearly identified, I'm sure the event you witnessed would be as widely publicised under the same circumstances.

I am sorry but I don't think it would if you google Athens 2007 champions league final liverpool,fans you will see the fans accounts but it never made the bbc news whereas this incident is never off it. I watched it on the news tonight they pushed him off the train and called him names I see worse incidents in our town centres every Saturday yes there is the racial dimension which quite rightly elevates it but that it what elevates it not the incident and I am pretty sure the victim did well out of it compensation wise. I am not saying this is not noteworthy but no one was murdered or assualted some perspective is needed

All good then eh?

And the punishment reflects that, they've been banned from football for a maximum of four years, they're not been sent to a Siberian gulag.

It was an unpleasant incident I accept making main news at the time but making the main news again today 6 months later is nuts

Why is it nuts? The only way to deal with arseholes like this is to publicly shame them.
