Probably like many others when ive heard of this in the past ive thought no smoke without fire. Having now witnessed first hand the disgraceful behaviour of the spanish police i can quite believe it. There was a bar across the road from the ground with the surrounding area packed with City fans all singing and drinking but causing no problems and the police just waded in with batons hitting people indiscriminately.There was a bloke in his mid fifties with his hands in the air being beaten on the back & legs by two of them and i saw a bloke knocked out cold from a baton to the head.At the airport afterwards city reps were photographing peoples injuries,some were a mess,to get the club to deal with UEFA about it. Plenty of people were recording what happened on their phones,lets hope something actually gets done about it but i wont hold my breath.
Spanish police are ****s. In Sevilla they attacked our disabled fans. On the continent police seem to hit first, work out what's happening later.
