    BBC NEWS | UK | A long-awaited day for Rangers

    The first video.... Scotland's shame pelting bottles at the police...

    EDIT: watch the full video...riot police move in and charge in 1;45

    Story taken from Manchester Evening News Website:

    Chaos after screen fails


    14/ 5/2008

     TROUBLE flared in Manchester City centre after the big screen at Piccadilly Gardens failed just before the UEFA Cup final kicked off.

    Fans reacted furiously to the technical hitch, pelting the screen with bottles as the game between Rangers and Zenit St Petersburg started at the City of Manchester Stadium.

    Rangers fans fought running battles with riot police on Market Street and Oldham Street. The screen originally showed a message saying the problem was being sorted out, but about 15 minutes into the game, it shut down completely.

    Rangers fans, who had climbed on trucks, loos and statues to catch a look of the game, began to disperse from the area, while a police helicopter circled above.

    Soon, railings surrounding the city centre fanzone had been torn down as angry supporters began squabbling and scuffling between themselves.

    By the time police arrived, tempers had reached fever pitch.

    A number of fans were hit with batons, and officers had to use riot shields to protect themselves from glass being thrown. Stunned passers-by filmed the action as police pushed the hooligans farther away from Piccadilly.

    Before the screen failure, thousands of fans had enjoyed a carnival atmosphere in the city centre in the build up to the game.

    Zenit won the game 2-0 thanks to goals from Igor Denisov and Konstatin Zyryanov.

    Just seen a bunch of the "Deliverance" :pig::pig: style inbreeds at the Printworks in Manchester City Centre.


    What made me laugh was the BBc News saying " THE FANS ARE IN FRIENDLY MOOD AND IT'S A PARTY ATMOSPHERE" :87:

    They have no idea what these animals will do to the city later on tonight when their team gets beat, in fact even if they win.

    There will be terrible trouble with those scum tonight, i absolutely guarantee it.

    I also chuckled at GMP saying they were prepared for the Huns fans.

    Hopefully it will get plastered over all media sources and they should show have Celtic behaved in Seville by contrast because they are in a league of their own when it comes to their fans!

    The Huns are rioting in Manchester!!

    I just got a call from my brother in law who lives in manchester. He is out in one of the clubs and the doors got locked cos the Huns are chasing the Zenit fans and fighting.

    * bad losers, they didn't even deserve to be in the final.
