THE INFORMATION emerging from the Champions League final debacle becomes more revealing and disturbing by the day. So distressed were some Liverpool fans they have vowed never to follow their side abroad, and let’s not forget this is a club of passionate followers. But more importantly, and more worrying, was the antics of large groups of youths assaulting Liverpool fans, despite the presence of thousands of people and a large police presence, who seemed unwilling to help. The ramifications of this disastrous night for UEFA, for France and for the concept of pan-European club competition could be very significant. The Champions League final has shown they are reluctant to be accountable for what goes on under their jurisdiction.
