A little bit of trouble on the night of the match yes but a great few days before it. Plus we brought in approx £25m to the City. That easily would have paid the police bill.
That was one of the best days of my life, what a laugh we had. I paid £850 for a ticket She was gutted as it meant she could only get one shoe that week. I never knew of any trouble until I came out the stadium, and my phone was red hot with "are you ok?" texts. Ended up lost stoatin about Manchester looking for my digs, ended up in a lock-in at some boozer. Fk knows how I got there
I remember I had a slump at about 4pm and just wanted the match to start. All day boozin in the sun had knocked the pan out of me. It was a nightmare to get out of Manchester later that night. We tried to get into a few places but loads of bars had already closed their doors. I remember one of the cues for a taxi firm ran nearly a street long. I went and spoke with the woman and she said it was a 4-5 hour wait for a cab.
should of biffed some chico then like the rest of us. I got sunburnt to **** that day and lost in some shady suburb for a good few hours
I couldn't understand why the police were acting like such ****s when I got up in the morning. Then went into the clubhouse and seen sky sports news briefly. True story - on the way to the bus, 2 coppers said it was a lot of Chelsea fans No word of a lie
there was a lot of English and N. Irish accents floating about. I was filming a lot of the riots (from the front line ) and one boy came up to speak down the camera, he was banging on about how it was the UDA and UFF. **** knows, from what I remember all the boys who got the jail were Scottish. (I think)
I blame the government, this is the kind of thing that happens if you dont have a proper war every now and then.
No, a lot of the guys who got the jail were English. Most were jocks though. No doubt a sleeper Timmy cell.
I remember reading that in the paper and laughing, the trouble makers having N.I & English accents. I reckon it was just pissed up neds. I remember at I was going for a pish and some fella started mouthing off at me because I had the N.I flag. His mates were telling him to shut it but he was givin it the "Oh so your a big man" ****e.
