I was thinking the Stade de France has sell out games of all sorts multiple times a year, with no reported trouble. What’s different tonight….?

Yeah, I get that, but there are reporters saying that they weren't able to get in and were gassed.
 
Greetings from Coral Bay, been here for last 3 weeks escaping the rat race. Caught up with some local football at the end of the Cypriot League season. Pafos have had their best ever season finishing 6th when the League split Scottish style and qualifying for the top 6 Championship round for the first time. They more than held their own taking 12 points from their 10 games against the other 5 teams including a 2-0 win at new champions Apollon and I saw them finish with a 3-1 win over APOEL Nicosia the most successful team of recent years. They are captained by ex QPR loanee Jason Puncheon in his 3rd season with them although he didn't play in the match I saw. Hard to equate the quality but lower Championship to League Two is a top to bottom guess. Matt Derbyshire has been quite prolific in this league for several years and many clubs have a high number of Balkan players In their teams. I noted there wasn't a Cypriot player in the Pafos starting XI and 11 different nationalities.

Just to round the season off there was the Cypriot Cup Final between last year's Champions Omonia Nicosia and bottom club Ethnikos Achna. Omonia are managed by the ever-charming Neil Lennon and he produced a timely reminder to those of us familiar with his antics near the end of extra time, still, he's a winner... <doh>

0-0 at half-time.

All Liverpool, but RM just sitting back and playing on the break.
Liverpool look a little lacking in creativity. Salah and Diaz struggling.

All set up for a RM smash and grab.
 
Not offside if it’s ‘deflected’ by a defender? So a defender has to deliberately pass the ball to an opponent to play them onside? What the ****?

Clearly I don’t understand the rule, or at least Glenn Hoddle’s explanation of it.
 
Liverpool living dangerously in last 5 minutes of half.... delighted to get to ht 0-0 despite dominating possession and having better chances....

Yes, didn't quite understand that. Mind you, Hoddle tends to chat **** most of the time.
Looked like Fabinho played the ball to Benzema, meaning he was onside. Lucky escape, although Liverpool could easily be out of sight.

Typical of RM this season in this competition.
I make them favourites now.
